Tanya Fiona, Kyiv, and @theeasternborder.lv , Latvia, joined up for a truck for Revanche Tactical Group Special Intelligence. Revanche = "Return the people and the land from occupation". Please be generous, lets close this truck? Currently @ 1/3 of Euro11k. car4ukraine.com/campaigns/au...

Well, that's a new one. I wonder how Trump responds to direct ultimatums.

Join me & Rob on The Eastern Border evening research stream, where I read vatnik news, go insane from their YouTube, we discuss Intervision (Russian Eurovision ripoff) and I play Silksong in the background. Also, I answer your Ponyatiya series questions. youtube.com/live/hPGsaz4...

I'll include the brand new airplane incident that happened an hour ago in the stream later. Right now I want to relax a bit and watch today's F1 race. No spoilers please, I'm catching up.

Episode 1 of my YouTube side project explaining Ponyatiya, the Thieve's Law, the unwritten code of conduct of Soviet and now Russian criminal underground - Bratva, Mafiya call them as you like - is out now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNyo...

A tiny spoiler of a purely YouTube project that I've been working on for a bit. This one's properly visual too.

USA press is dead. This is pure evil. www.kpbs.org/news/politic...

Dear Lord, I can give you verifiable, quoteable, named sources on this. Also, what you're posting has been common knowledge over here for a LONG while. The reason 'why' is constant lies in reports by officers. I used to say that I'm better than ISW with some pride. Now even THAT is beneath me. FFS.

10. Distribution of Fail theeasternborder.lv/podcast/10-d... Due to the recent security breaches of Polish and Estonian airspace, Zapad 2025 military excercises by Russia and Belarus went somewhat unnoticed. And that’s a shame, because they ended up being a complete waste of money, time and sanity

According to the self-proclaimed futurologist, journalist and historian, best friend of Igor Girkin and the 'intellectual forefront' of Z-thought, Maxim Kalashnikov, the main reason why Russia isn't fascist is that they're not as efficient at murder and war crimes. t.me/roy_tv_mk/17...

...in the same vein, Russians also move the buoys to increase their territory and be provocative in the river in Narva that marks the border between the two countries.

Ukraine is not included on the meme, as Ukrainians are busy at the front lines currently, defending their country and thus, didn't arrive at the party. Which I invite You all to help - by donating so that my favourite Revance unit can get an armoured car! car4ukraine.com/campaigns/au...

This is how everyone in Russia who's been declared a foreign agent feels right now. (Meme taken from my friend, Ivan Filipov's telegram. He only works in Russian, does the same thing as I do, so I'm spreading his good work t.me/ve4niyvoy - not enough space to always give proper credit.)

To all the NATO 'pacifists' out there: My house is 22km, 13.6 miles from the Russian borded. It's among the first to be blown up if WW3 starts. Not some imaginary 'civilian losses', Me. Personally. And I'm standing by shooting down every Russian plane that violates NATO airspace. Because it's safer.

In case You're wondering, I'm up and working, one breather ep because I want to not go insane and one Estonia airspace ep. I don't know the order yet. Also, I watched William Spaniel's take on the Estonia situation, and, although it's a decent vid... 1/3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVzC...

This. Shoot the fuckers down.

Hahahahahah....hahahahaha...and Russia still pretends it's a real country.

I was on the latest History Impossible episode with Alex and Daniele Bolelli and it's a mandatory listen. www.historyimpossible.com/podcast/epis...

My friend discovered what I think is THE funniest vatnik text of the day. Russians can't legally use their own Lada's. Hilarity ensues:

Using Spotify Premium is unethical and morally wrong. youtu.be/kgFCC9haqB4?...

I'm having a mentally healthy afternoon. Evita found a baby snake in our back yard too, and it's so cute.

I'm at my deep countryside house now, and trying to actively NOT be online, since recording the last episode gave me a PTSD trigger which I did not expect. I'm better now, but I need my mental health back on before I record the next one.

I think that the people who complain about #Silksong difficulty have never played an indie game like that before. Silksong is not 'brutal' or anything - that's just the indie standard you babies who need quest markers. Play Hades or Noita or Blasphemous and then you'll understand.

A few years ago, me and Alex had a deep conversation about how we're slowly moving to a "Rule by assasination" world order. Seems that we're at least one step closer to that, so we're discussing political philosophy again. Recording for an ep + stream! www.youtube.com/live/xE0Zhc9...

Big Mac large meal now costs 9eur here. That's 10.56$ - more than in quite a few US states. Median monthly income in Latvia as of 2025 is approximately €1,385 (about $1,507). Also, our rent prices are much cheaper than in the US. And there's plenty of actually good food available for much cheaper

Thank You to everyone who stuck around in the stream! We'll cotinue to improve, of course - but I'm glad that I could show you this vatnik insanity. youtu.be/jWUKN1P-6HI?... For everyone who missed the stream, I've timestamped this to where the really crucial/insane/interesting part begins.

I thought more about how to use streaming format properly. So, introducing this: The Eastern Border news & research stream: Current events, news updates, RuTube: Z-Vatniks, liberals, communists and actually good channels & weird stuff. youtube.com/live/xE0Zhc9... Staring Ep: 01 in a few minutes!

7. This will have to do I explain some very important cultural aspects related to the war and the post-Soviet sphere, while covering all the bullshit related to Russian drone incident in Poland. I also haven’t slept for two days straight because of this. theeasternborder.lv/podcast/7-th...

To make things easier for myself, I have started a "Polish news coverage" live stream, which will also include me, recording the new episode while we wait for updates. www.youtube.com/live/h86v2Lq...

Yep. Same thing happened during Prigozhin's march.

I just like to add that our own Namejs 2025 is happening in Latvia currently as well. www.mod.gov.lv/lv/zinas/lat...

Yeeeah, here's a vid from Poland right now for you.

I'm finally recording. Decided to let an AI run over my script, help out with the metaphors maybe, be a bit more useful than translation work. Gave it a try. English is not my native language after all. Turns out, over here, on The Eastern Border, we're fucking too spicy for any AI to handle. 1/2

Sovietization in Russia marches on: St. Petersburg will be renamed Leningrad for 9 days a year — such an initiative was proposed in the State Duma, — TASS 'The idea will be timed to key dates of the Great Patriotic War and Victory Day'

Blood Moon over Latvia, nice lunar eclipse

And once again, Donetsk water situation has become somehow worse.

Meanwhile, in Luhansk: Occupation government couldn't give a damn about its own people, even hospitals are crowdfunded.

Western tankies are all pussies. Hardcore vatnik Igor Girkin's buddy Orthodox Stalinism is where the real shit is at!

We just spotted something interesting about our security system...

Morning with a bit of depression. Slept like absolute garbage last night, got PTSD nightmares a lot. I'll drink my nuclear coffee and record. Well, try to. Note the mustard. It's not your weak western 'Dijon', this is the proper 'wake up properly' our parts mustard.

I fully endorse Connor McGregor for the president of Ireland because a) that would be bloody (literally) hilarious and b) I want to see him go apeshit and smack Trump. That would be amazing. I have no idea about his policies, nor do I care about them, obviously. 🤣🤣🤣

You'll laugh, of course, but Donetsk now not only has issues with water but with gasoline too!

Maxim Kalashnikov brings good tidings to everyone here today!

Look at what 'entertainment' is advertised on vatnik channels. If you're somehow about to vote for a 'Putin-Friendly' party like AfD, know that exactly this is what they support. 'Traditional values'.

A Russian supporter of Navalny enlisted from a colony to go to war, hoping that Trump would soon achieve a ceasefire. But he did not wait and died a few months later.

Vatniks have discovered that their leadership is lying. What a shocker.

6. Vatnik Tears: Deluxe Edition theeasternborder.lv/podcast/6-va... In this episode, by multiple requests, there’s a deluxe edition of vatnik tears – because I’ve seen Putin’s trolls becoming more active again lately, with two main modes of action, and in this episode I demolish them both.

Comrades, I need advice as I'm a noob homeowner. What to look for in a lawnmower? I've got 4700m2/1.166337 acres of land to mow. Do I need that mini tractor or can I do with a standard one that I just push around? I don't have any beauty standards or lawn specifications just grass to mow?

Igor Girkin publishes a new hopeful Z-letter this morning: WE WILL HAVE TO EITHER SURRENDER OR CHANGE THE FORMAT OF THE WAR And please help out my birthday charity goal to donate a car to Ukraine: car4ukraine.com/campaigns/au...

Here's a message for You from some brave Ukrainian soldiers: youtu.be/KWY7PTnHeVk We have a plan to fulfil! Central Committee is monitoring this task with great interest, and a failure would make us and the Comrade Major very unhappy. And Happiness is Mandatory! car4ukraine.com/campaigns/au...
