US and Russian officials will begin talks in Saudi Arabia today aimed at bringing an end to the conflict in Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he will "never accept" any decision made without Ukraine, but the Americans say this is just the opening salvo to suss out how serious Russia is about peace. UN Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas, Miroslav Jenca says all parties to the conflict must be included in the negotiations... Meanwhile, a Russian official is accusing the EU of being 'blinded by Russophobia.' European leaders held their own talks in Paris on Monday. But Vasily Nebenzya has ruled out any European involvement in Ukraine peace negotiations, ahead of today's meeting between the US and the Kremlin in Saudi Arabia... To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ennis resident originally from Irpin, Mariya Nikishanova, and Newmarket-on-Fergus Native and Professor of Politics at DCU, Donnacha O'Beacháin.

This episode explores the concept of "Russophobia" and how it is used to silence criticism and maintain control. Painting the victims as Russophobic has always been part of the crime, as vividly illustrated by Professor Timothy Snyder's 2023 testimony to the United Nations Security Council.

Kudaibergen, a prominent Qazaq researcher of colonialism and a sociologist at the University of Cambridge, who tackles the commemoration of the genocide in Qazaqstan and underscores the need to elevate indigenous voices in these discussions, and Viktoriia Grivina, a Ukrainian writer and a cultural researcher from Kharkiv, who exposes Russia's colonial rhetoric, with her home city being the victim of it.Dive into "Matryoshka of Lies" with Maksym Eristavi, author of the illustrated guidebook "Russian Colonialism 101," and Ukrainska Pravda. Unveil the hidden truths and discover the power of untold indigenous stories.This show is written by Yev Kopiika and Vlada Toporkova, produced by Alina Poliakova, mixed and sound design by Anastasiia Fedoskina, and co-produced and narrated by Maksym Eristavi.

In 2008, Ukraine was given an explicit list of steps to complete in order to gain acceptance. Today, they're told something else: “Ukraine can join NATO when allies agree and when certain conditions are met.” This purposefully vague promise seems to be the West's way of pushing off Ukraine indefinitely while still making sure that they fight to the last Ukrainian. As Lieven says: “At the very least I'd say Ukraine is just as far away as it was in 2008. The case for Ukraine's NATO membership is the zombie that won't die.” At Responsible Statecraft, he writes of the danger NATO faces if they ever actually followed through on their promise: “The West will be committed to an endless strategy of arming and financing Ukraine against Russia, while praying that the United States remains fully committed to this and is not drawn away by more important domestic and international threats.” He adds: “For if America ever does pull back, NATO's European members may find that the only thing more stupid than pulling a bear's tail and running away is pulling its tail when you can't run away.” Watch the full interview with Anatol Lieven where he explains how journalists have become part of the elite system they once reported on, the danger of Russophobia, and his scary answer to the question: “Do you have any fear that we're heading towards World War III?” Learn more about your ad choices.

I was joined by Glenn Diesen, a leading scholar of Russian foreign policy and geopolitics and one of a tiny few who oppose US and NATO support for Ukraine, to discuss the long history of Russophobia, the irrational fear and hatred of Russia that has driven western policies in Eurasia from the time of Peter the Great to the era of Vladimir Putin.

Why propaganda? How propaganda? and What can you do?One of the most important dialogues I've ever had a chance to be a part of.Oliver goes into detail about provable propaganda in Hollywood and the (predominantly) US media, with examples from US lead-up to conflicts in Iraq (twice), Syria and Ukraine coverage, as well as Russiagate. We also touch on modern leadership and Russophobia.Iraq, in particular, is a fantastic example of learning how the propaganda game is played, because the truth is already accepted knowledge.Transcript and content with timestamps to follow.
The Ukrainian language is a crucial aspect of Ukraine's struggle to remain independent of Russia. Preserving the Ukrainian language is essential for maintaining Ukraine's distinct cultural and national identity, and in the current context, to resisting efforts by Russia to control and dominate it politically. During Ukraine's history, there have been efforts to suppress the use of the Ukrainian language, particularly during the Soviet era when Russian was promoted as the primary language of communication. However, since Ukraine gained independence in 1991, there has been a renewed emphasis on the Ukrainian language and its role in shaping the country's national identity. The Ukrainian government has taken steps to strengthen the status of the Ukrainian language, including passing laws to promote its use in public life, education, and government institutions. It has also sought to counter Russian propaganda efforts by promoting Ukrainian-language media and cultural events. Russian propaganda has labelled this process as persecution and Russophobia. The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia has further highlighted the importance of the Ukrainian language as a symbol of Ukraine's sovereignty and independence. The Russian government and pro-Russian separatists have attempted to promote the use of Russian in eastern Ukraine, leading to tensions between Ukrainian and Russian speakers in the region. In conclusion, the Ukrainian language is a crucial element of Ukraine's struggle to remain independent of Russia. Its preservation and promotion are essential for maintaining Ukraine's national identity and sovereignty.

This is the most raw and vulnerable I've ever been in the public domain. I knew it was time to do an episode on... THE MEDIA. Told through a more nuanced lens of the awful events that are currently happening in Ukraine and the Russophobia that has grown since then (as a half Russian person). I tell the story of how I went from wanting to work as a BBC journalist to falling out of love with the media and waking up to just how one-sided it is all the way back in 2014. Inside, I discuss..
In the modern discourse it seems, any political opponent is immediately a "Nazi", and any historical grievance is a "genocide".The problem is obvious and three-fold:Politically, the elites in a less wealthy and/or numerous nation want to use the victimhood status to gain potential reparations from the wealthier/more numerous nation, by any means possible—all's fair in love and war;The impacts on the (wrongfully) accused are also clear: accusing various historical governments of (alleged) genocides smears their modern successors as well as the whole nations, thus dehumanizing them in a way;And in turn, overusing such terms as "Nazi" and "genocide" cheapens these and diminishes the crimes of the actual Nazis, creates possibilities for denial of actual genocides such as the Holocaust or the Armenian Genocide, and whitewashes the Nazi revival such as various neo-Nazi movements.I can think of no example more insane than the whitewashing of the Ukrainian Nazi collaborators Bandera and Shukhevich, their organizations OUN and UPA, and their modern Ukrainian equivalents such as Azov, S14, and the Right Sector—and at the same time bringing out all the decades of smear campaigns against the USSR and Russia, accusing them of multiple genocides.Though maybe "Holodomor" myth is at least equally insane.Russophobia deserves its own post, and so do the Ukrainian Nazis both historical and modern. For now, I'll look at genocide accusations against the historical and modern Russias.ContentGenocide as a Weapon of Propaganda [00:00]Modern Days: 2022+ "Genocide" of Ukrainians [09:42]Goebbels Propaganda Rules and Brand Management [20:42]Russia's "History of Genocides" [32:17]Circassian "Genocide" [37:09]"Holodomor" as a National Foundation Myth [56:20]Final Thoughts [1:12:11]
On this episode, historian Dr. Ivan Kurilla from European University in St. Petersburg shares about his research on the rich and little-known history of US-Russia relations since the 18th century.

Irene Antonez is an artist and musician from Russia. Through her music and art she celebrates sensuality, emotionality and the beauty of nature and the microscopic world. Her family roots are Cossack which are a semi-nomadic and semi-militarized people from the steppes of Ukraine and Russia. So in Irene's family tree there are Russians, Ukrainians and Lithuanians. We discussed the situation in Ukraine, how that affects her family and relatives on both sides of the line, how they were taught at school in Russia that there should never be a war again but also how the messaging over the past 7-8 years has been changing with the rise of nationalism. And we talked about Russophobia that has been present and now is amplified by the War. Mushrooms are a big part of Irene's universe and art expression and she explained to me how advanced these organisms are and what we could learn from them as humans. And then we talked about her music and how Cossacks and Vikings might be connected historically. Irene has an art exhibition in Pragovka in Prague from the 9th of June 2022, check her links below for more https://www.instagram.com/irene_antonez/ https://www.instagram.com/irene_antonez_art/ https://www.facebook.com/ireneantonezz https://www.facebook.com/ireneantonezart
Miguel welcomed Mike McGuinness (@beardedcynic473), co-host of the Beyond the Red Zone Podcast (Recorded on March 7, 2022, but it is still relevant). Miguel and Mike get into the increasing Russophobia that has infected sports because of the Russian-Ukraine war. First, we discuss CCM Hockey ending their partnership with Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin. Miguel also discusses New York Ranger star Artemi Panarin's support for anti-Muslim Alexey Navalny. We also get into how the Great One Wayne Gretzky calls for banning the Russian Junior Hockey Team at the August 2022 Junior Hockey World Championships held in Edmonton. Additionally, Miguel and Mike discuss UEFA moving the Champions League final from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Paris, France. The Champions League final just happened this past weekend between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid. Unfortunately for Miguel, his Reds lost 1-0. Miguel and Mike also discuss the role of NATO and US imperialism in the Russian-Ukraine war, the hypocrisy of US sports media, and the influence of the Azov Battalion in the Ukraine Military. Mike also discusses his own experience of being in a war zone during his time in the military and why he opposes all war. We end the episode with Miguel's April 22, 2022, appearance on Radio Sputnik's By Any Means Necessary. Miguel joined Sean and Jacquie on the Redspin Sports Report to discuss Russophobia in sports.

Guy Mettan discusses the deep thousand year history of Russophobia which informs the current Ukraine crisis. Europe had divided in two parts along religious lines which can still be seen in Ukraine today. He traces Russophobia from medieval Germany to France to Britain and back again to Germany and today the U.S. and EU. Brzezinski outlined the importance of conquering Ukraine because it's the pivotal power of Europe. Ukraine is the first battle of the Third World War. It won't be a total war, it will be a global unlimited war, unlimited in space and time where everybody will be affected. He agrees that there is a neo-totalitarian trend in the West and that democracy is a false flag. He's pessimistic regarding the future development of our world as the U.S. and EU develop into a totalitarian new empire. But he's optimistic that the light of the truth can't be extinguished.

Executive Director of the Geneva Press Club and columnist for various Swiss newspapers since 2001. He's been a member of the Geneva Parliament, was a Speaker of the Parliament in 2010, and is author of several books. Two from Clarity Press, which we'll be discussing today. Creating Russophobia: From the Great Religious Schism to Anti-Putin Hysteria, and Europe's Existential Dilemma: To Be or Not to Be an American Vassal. Hello and welcome, Mr. Mettan. Guy Mettan: Hello. Good to see you. I'm happy to talk with you to today. Geopolitics & Empire: Yeah. Thank you for taking the time. I wanted to talk about both of your books and themes of what's going on in Ukraine and the new cold war on Russia, as well as the EU project itself. And both are very important right now and interlinked. You've said the West has engaged in more or less violent hostilities for 1,000 years against Russia. And this is something no one seems to talk about today. People are forgetting. The media doesn't talk about this. From Napoleon and Hitler to the US, EU, and NATO today, it's clear much of the aggression, much of the time has come from the West against Russia. So, could you kind of help us understand the current conflict and what's going on with Ukraine, the conflict, this war, and why Russia is so hated? Guy Mettan: Yeah. So, thank you for the question. It's a very long story. As you said, it's in my view, 1,000 years old story, because I think the roots of this conflict we can see now in Ukraine are very deeply rooted in history in Europe. In my view, everything has started with 1,200 years ago when a new emperor came into power here in Europe. The name of this emperor was Charlemagne, Charles the Great. And he was the first one, who was a German, and he was the first one to restore ... He wanted to restore the old Roman Empire, which collapsed at the fifth century after Jesus Christ. This guy was a conqueror.

The Eurasianist cries out accusations of xenophobia as he wages ethnic cleansing against you. That appears to be the new strategy of Putin's paid apologists. If you're not on board with his "anti-fascist limited military action against neo-Nazis", you're essentially just a xenophobic bigot. Sound familiar? You might be forgiven though if you do some e-cheerleading for Putin's decision to kill thousands and displace millions of white people. That'll really stick it to globohomo and show them that Atlanticists are the REAL racists... You gotta LOVE how this conflict has degenerated into a pissing contest over who is more anti-white...

Vincent Cannato, noted historian and Jonah's fellow deracinated New Yorker, returns to the Remnant for a nerdily random discussion of cops, neoliberalism, and latent Russophobia. With tensions rising between East and West, Vin believes we are in the midst of an “ideological Cold War,” but Jonah (whose pronunciation of “Pokémon” may distract from any serious points he raises) is less convinced. How will America's conflict with Russia and China unfold, and what strategy should the United States pursue? For that matter, is New York heading back to the ‘70s? What's fueling America's crime wave? And will safetyism soon destroy Vin's university from within? Show Notes:- Vin's webpage- “The Editors” podcast on Russophobia- Jonah: “A Tale of Two Cold Wars”- Elliott Abrams: “The New Cold War”- The Wild Man of 96th St.- Biden's New York crime speech- Jonah: “The Problem With Claiming That Policing Evolved From Slave Patrols”- Amazon's Seattle relocation- Jeff Jacoby: “Pushing Back Against Indoctrination at UMass Boston”

The information war has heated up, this time with targets on the backs of anti-war journalists and media voices critical to NATO and the U.S. Last week, the offices of RT America were suddenly and abruptly shut down amid the war fever and Russophobia spreading across the country. In addition to banning an entire network, platforms like Twitter and Spotify have also taken steps to discredit individual journalists by removing their content. In the last week we've also seen mainstream media outlets like the Washington Post churn out hit pieces claiming that voices exposing U.S. empire, uplifting black liberation struggles, or speaking out against capitalism are nothing more than Russian propaganda. Joining the show is Lee Camp, the former host and head writer of the weekly comedy news show Redacted Tonight, which aired on RT America.We are also joined by Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon the hosts of “By Any Means Necessary” on Radio Sputnik.

The first victim in any war is the truth. RT America has shut down after a decade of service and its English counterparts are now censored in much of NATO nations. This is a travesty and so much bullshit. The Beyond Top Secret Texan stands with RT and defends it as the best news station in America for the last decade. I included their mysterious documentaries series and 2 recent documentaries about war made as recently as March 6, 2022.

Exposing the Synthetic Left and their cowardice in the face of imperialist aggression against Russia. During today's episode, we react to so-called "leftists" parroting the talking points of Ukrainian fascism and NATO. We talk about the historical roots of the Synthetic Left and how the anti-war movement has been highjacked by pro-imperialist liberals. We also debunk the false notion of "Russian imperialism." Today's guest is Caleb Maupin, a journalist and political analyst. Unmasking Imperialism exposes imperialist propaganda in mainstream media. Hosted by Ramiro Sebastián Fúnez.
Giselle and Dalibor consult their fellow co-host, Iulia Joja, a Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, on her analysis of security in the Black Sea. Iulia contextualizes historical and modern factors at play in the Black Sea, which have caused both reliance on the US and Russophobic sentiments and reliance on Russia and refusal of NATO help. Iulia explains why an independent Romania and Bulgaria are geostrategically important to the Russia and Ukraine crisis. Reference: https://newsweek.ro/opinii/idiotul-ghid-de-recunoastere (The Idiot.

This week on MOATS: The Podcast Bonus Episode This week's guest is author of "What Russians Think: Everything you should know, but didn't bother to ask" Olga Childs. The author is a British lawyer and diaspora activist, who grew up in the Soviet Union and later returned to Russia, on occasion, to work in politics and the media. The book reflects on social, cultural and political issues on in and against Russia. She explores, in greater details, the topic of U.S., EU and UK sanctions against Russian individuals and businesses, and gives a unique perspective on origin and impact of some of the sanctions decisions, including U.S. Treasury sanctions on businessman Oleg Deripaska, as well as an assessment of how sanctions are viewed in Russia and how the society reacts to them. Last but not least, the book reflects on the impact that Russiagate and Russophobia have had on the practical lives and political leanings of the former Russians who are long-term residents of the United States and United Kingdom.

In the American mind, Russia is associated with the Soviet Union — the red menace — and long standing Russophobia clearly echoes in the coverage of Putin today. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) officially received 19 percent of the vote, but the KPRF claims their vote totals were suppressed. What explains the recent election results, does Putin remain popular, and how does American interference influence Russian politics? Rania Khalek was joined by Russian leftist, journalist and activist Alexey Sakhnin, whose work has appeared at Jacobin and New Left Review.
Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enIn recent years, we've witnessed a strange convergence of Russian and American conspiratorial thinking. They're talking about each other again in Moscow and Washington, often spinning stories that aren't exactly rooted in facts. Whether it's Russiagate in the United States or color revolution in Russia and countries across the former Soviet Union, diabolical plots are afoot. To find out what drives popular conspiracy theories in Russia and the U.S., “The Naked Pravda” turned to a handful of scholars who study the subject. Today's show also takes a broader look at how Russians and Americans see themselves and each other. How did we get on this subject? Last month, Meduza investigative correspondent Liliya Yapparova, whose work we've discussed before on this podcast, wrote an article about a curious college course taught by Vitaly Grigorev, a military veteran and former instructor at the KGB Higher School. This winter term, Grigorev's students in “national systems of information security” at the MIREA Russian Technological University — one of Russia's biggest technological schools — are learning about many strange concepts, including popular conspiracy theories, like the “Dulles Plan” (which claims that former CIA chief Allen Dulles plotted to destroy the USSR by corrupting its “cultural heritage” and “moral values”). In this episode: (2:15) Liliya Yapparova tells the story behind her story. (6:02) Scott Radnitz explains the political science of studying conspiracy theories. (8:48) Ilya Yablokov, author of “Fortress Russia,” distinguishes between grassroots and elite conspiracy theories. (16:29) Eliot Borenstein, author of “Plots Against Russia,” says American unreflexivity is the stuff of Russian culture's dreams. (29:46) Sean Guillory, host of the “SRB Podcast,” recalls America's Red Scare during the race riots of the early 20th century. “The Naked Pravda” comes out on Fridays.

This Sunday, we're interviewing Alex Krainer, hedge fund manager and author of The Killing of William Browder: Deconstructing Bill Browder's Dangerous Deception. Bill Browder is the man responsible for much of the anti-Russian sentiment in the West in recent years through his lobbying for the Magnitsky Act, which sanctions individuals believed to have been involved in the death of Russian "lawyer" Sergei Magnitsky in 2009. Browder told his story in a book called Red Notice, in which he...
To help us sort through a week dominated by spiraling Russo-American political intrigue, we welcome (13:01) to the podcast Berkeley anthropologist, Alexei Yurchak, analyst extraordinaire of all things late Soviet and post Soviet, and author of the award-winning Everything was Forever Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (Princeton, 2005). We trace the connections between that project's exploration of culture and politics at the end of state socialism and Alexei's current research on the scientists who have been working to preserve Lenin's body since 1924. We talk about the fascinating intersection of biopolitics and necropolitics involved in the effort to maintain Lenin's body in a lifelike state for almost a century, how discursive hegemony of form in the late Soviet period also informed corporeal hegemony of form, the results of this science that you can find in your own pharmacy, and the network of political leaders' bodies across the world that Soviet and now Russian scientists have worked to preserve. Alexei dispels the idea that cloning was ever on the table in this project; but explains that his interlocutors do believe that they can now keep Lenin's body in a near-life state in perpetuity. We return from there to the contemporary political chaos and what Alexei makes of the Trump-Putin entanglement stories currently dominating the headlines. Alexei shares his concerns about the powerful return of Russophobia to the United States, about what popular characterizations of Russia get wrong, and about how anti-Russian sentiment may provide a convenient excuse to defer a serious examination of the root causes of Trumpism. Ready to take a break from the political hysteria? Then listen on!
