The goal of political art is to ask uncomfortable questions. The price was prison.Vitaly Shevchenko speaks to Maria Alyokhina, founding member of the Russian punk activist group Pussy Riot, about the power and the price of protest.Pussy Riot came to the world's attention with its Punk Prayer, an angry anti-Putin anthem performed in a Moscow church. Maria Alyokhina spent two years incarcerated in a penal colony as a result. It was worth it, she says, to show the world what life under President Putin was like. She was freed under an amnesty ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, but her ongoing activism saw her living under surveillance and then house arrest, eventually fleeing Russia in a dramatic escape. Today, she continues to challenge Putin's regime from outside her home country. Thank you to the Ukrainecast team for its help in making this programme.

PREVIEW. AfD Rising. Judy Dempsey discusses the AfD rising, a populist right German party strong in the East, which aims to undermine the EU and NATO. The AfD has close support from both the Trump and Putin administrations. Holding many Bundestag seats, the party anticipates winning forthcoming state and federal elections.
Day 1,357.Today, the battle for Pokrovsk continues to rage on with 300 Russian soldiers now in the city, pressing forward to the north. We discuss the corruption probe in Ukraine targeting one of Zelensky's close allies and how it led to the president's debacle over the summer when he tried to curtail Ukraine's two anti-corruption agencies. Finally, we zoom in on Lavrov's disappearance from the public eye in the last couple of weeks and on the patterns of drone incursions across Europe these past two months.

Russian Aggression, NATO Tensions, and the Specter of 1914. Gaius and Germanicus, hosting the Friends of History Debating Society in Londinium, discuss the future of the Roman Empire's inheritor, the United States, and its empire in the 21st century. The conversation, held by the turbulent Thames, focuses on the extreme challenges facing US institutions, both outside and inside its borders. The primary external challenge discussed is Russian aggression against Ukraine and the heightened tensions along the NATO frontier. Gaius is reliably told that any provocation, such as blockading the Russian shadow fleet or shooting down a Russian warplane, could lead to Mr. Putin's removal by his right-wing compatriots who believe he has supervised a bad war. Germanicus notes that while no one plans provocations, accidents happen, and hotheads exist in NATO alongside appeasers. Putin is seen as driven by his right-wing elements, demanding recognition and respect for Russia, with conditions comparing the situation to 1914, not 1939. Germanicus counters that Putin is a "Kaiser" (Caesar), comparable to the emperor in Washington, D.C., and must secure a "big victory." Putin's attack on the Ukrainian electrical grid is viewed as smart, bringing Ukraine to the brink without destroying the whole grid, thereby deterring Western media backlash and demonstrating Russia's capacity against NATO. Gaius observes that Washington (specifically the neocons) thinks it must win. The comparison to 1914 suggests that a quick collapse of the Ukrainian war effort could spark a dangerous "July crisis" if the West loses its head. Germanicus, however, sees domestic US political turmoil and European weakness making a major war "almost impossible," suggesting Democrats might prefer Russia to win to politically damage Mr. Trump. 1923 PETROGRAD
In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: The latest sign that Washington may be gearing up for something big south of the border. Satellite imagery shows one of America's most formidable attack aircraft—the AC-130J Ghostrider—has been deployed to the region. The Kremlin is pushing back on reports that Vladimir Putin has sidelined his long-time foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, after a failed attempt to organize a Trump summit. Another mystery in the skies over Europe. Flights were halted again after another drone sighting near one of Belgium's busiest airports, raising new concerns about airspace security. And in today's Back of the Brief—North Korea is rattling sabers again, threatening “offensive action” after a U.S. aircraft carrier arrived in South Korea just a day after its latest missile launch.

How was the history of Russia made by its women through the cataclysms of revolution, war, idealism, and defeat? Join us for an engaging tour of Russia through the lives of its women. Journalist Julia Ioffe and her family fled the Soviet Union in 1990. She wouldn't return for nearly two decades, and when she did, she found a country significantly changed. The Soviet Union had tried to portray itself as being on the vanguard of world feminism; today, Russia presents itself as the last bastion of conservative Christian values. How did that happen? What happened to the women of the Soviet era, who served as doctors, engineers and scientists? How, she asks, did they get replaced with women who are just desperate to marry rich and become stay-at-home mothers? It's a topic she explores in her new book Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia, from Revolution to Autocracy. From her own great grandmothers, who were physicians, to Lenin's lover, who was a feminist revolutionary, to the hundreds of thousands of young Soviet women to fought in the Second World War to the millions of single mothers who repopulated the devastated country—and onward to Pussy Riot and Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of opposition leader Alexey Navalny. Ioffe reveals the failure of the social experimentation of the Soviet era and how it paved the way for the revanchist policies of Vladimir Putin.

Mentre è incerto il futuro del ministro degli Esteri russo Sergey Lavrov ed il suo ruolo nel vertice mancato tra Putin e Trump, l'Ucraina è stata attaccata nel fine settimana da centinaia di droni e missili.
España enfrenta una crisis sanitaria con la jubilación de uno de cada cuatro médicos en la próxima década y la fuga de talento por mejores condiciones laborales. Pedro Sánchez se aferra al cargo, rechazando elecciones y buscando agotar la legislatura hasta 2027, con el apoyo de posconvergentes para aprobar dos leyes. En la Comunidad Valenciana, PP y Vox negocian la formación de gobierno tras la dimisión de Carlos Mazón, con el 19 de noviembre como fecha límite y Vox exigiendo prioridades claras.

2025-11-09 | Silicon Wafers 051 | DAILY UPDATES | Despite the profusion of stories we've covered, the battle for Pokrovsk, energy sanctions, and so on, the most important strategic angle on the war this winter is the attritional energy war. And it's unlike the Western attitude to the war throughout all these four years – to cede the escalation dominance to Russia, always pulling punches, in support for Ukraine, and never allowing its ally to land a decisive blow on Russia. Now Ukraine is takin off the gloves, because below the nuclear threshold, there is nothing holding back Russia's viciousness and violence. Ukraine is seeking to inflict greater costs on Russia in the energy war, than it can impose upon Ukraine. This ‘escalation' is the only way to make it clear to Putin he cannot win and is the only way to inflict economic and social costs that start to make Putin's brittle regime appear vulnerable to its internal audience. Nothing else will get through to Putin. Nothing at all. Ukraine's “doomsday lever”? Hitting the Yamal network — myth vs. math. There is an inescapable logic to the course of this existential escalation for Ukraine's existence. It starts with testing the theory of imposing blackouts and heating denial to smaller, non-strategic Russian towns. Belgorod, Vladimir, Voronezh. And this is happening now. The next stage is to test supporting infrastructure around Moscow – electricity substations, energy supply routes for fuel, gas and oil products. This is happening. Beyond that, are substantial and extended blackouts in smaller towns, then Moscow and St. Petersburg. But that's not the final arrow in Ukraine's quiver. It has a doomsday option – hitting Yamal Cross. If none of the other escalatory steps lead to an unconditional ceasefire, then I suggest it's a near certainly that we'll reach the doomsday stage for Moscow by end of this winter. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

What lessons does America have for our politics? While progressives look to Zohran Mamdani for inspiration on how to get elected successfully, the really important question is how to govern effectively. And here it is the Trump administration which is setting the standard, writes Tim Shipman in this week's cover story. On day one, Donald Trump stepped into the Oval Office ready to ‘move fast and break things', signing a flurry of executive orders with the backing of unflinching loyalists. Brits who may have been appalled by Trump in his first term are now envious of his administration's lack of infighting and success in bringing illegal migration to a halt, as well as securing a ceasefire in Gaza, attacking Iranian nuclear sites and applying pressure on Vladimir Putin. Here in Westminster, Labour arrived in government with no clear idea what they were doing or, as things have deteriorated, what to do next.The Spectator US Editor Freddy Gray speaks to Tim Shipman.Produced by Megan McElroy.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

"L'avvocato del diavolo" di Boris Akunin e "La domestica a ore" di Sveva Casati Modignani Un romanzo satirico e sarcastico sulla Russia e sul regime di Putin. Parliamo di "L'avvocato del diavolo" di Boris Akunin (Mondadori - traduz. Erin Beretta, Francesco De Nigris, Mariangela Ferosi) con la prefazione di Paolo Nori, uno dei massimi esperti di letteratura russa in Italia. Boris Akunin è molto famoso in Russia per i suoi gialli storici, ma questo è il primo romanzo che non è stato pubblicato nel suo paese: per aver criticato Putin è stato inserito in una lista di estremisti e terroristi e condannato in contumacia a 14 anni di carcere e dunque da qualche anno vive a Londra. In questo romanzo immagina una Russia dove il capo di Stato ha un ictus e il premier, che è un ex agente dei servizi segreti, indice nuove elezioni convinto di vincere perché pensa di piacere a tutti. In realtà vince il suo avversario, un ex prigioniero politico, che crea una Repubblica parlamentare dove la priorità sono i diritti umani. In questo clima democratico, si celebra il processo all'ex braccio destro del capo di Stato, che fra l'altro aveva orchestrato l'invasione dell'Ucraina. Come difensore quest'uomo chiede di avere uno scrittore dissidente. Un totale ribaltamento dei piani in cui lo scrittore si trova a difendere chi lo aveva perseguitato. Un romanzo che può essere considerato una critica feroce al regime di Putin, ma anche una critica a tutti i regimi. Nella seconda parte parliamo di Sveva Casati Modignani, una delle scrittrici italiane più amate da lettrici e lettori: oltre 12 milioni di copie vendute con i suoi romanzi scritti a partire dal 1981. Nel nuovo romanzo si intitola "La Domestica a ore" (Sperling & Kupfer) si parla di violenza nei confronti delle donne. La protagonista è una giovane donna, Isabella, anche se in realtà il suo nome completo è altisonante: Isabella Boccadoro d'Este, contessa. Nonostante sia molto ricca, nasconde la sua vera identità e fa la domestica a ore, in particolar modo fa la guardarobiera nella famiglia Tizzoni. Le ragioni che l'hanno portatat a fare questa scelta si scoprono nel romanzo, ma quello che possiamo dire è che con questo lavoro manuale Isabella riesce a mettere ordine dentro sè stessa. Un giorno dovrà soccorrere la signora Tizzoni che è stata violentemente picchiata dal marito.
This is the second part of Stephen's conversation with Andrew Ryvkin, who self-describes as having worked as a Russian propagandist. Andrew talks about how and why he left Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, why he thought that Russia would invade Ukraine, how propaganda has changed since the invasion of Ukraine, how propaganda works inside and outside Russia and why he thinks that Russia will lose the war.Andrew's Substack : https://andrewryvkin.substack.com/Andrew's website : https://andrewryvkin.com/Send a question for Andrew to Stephen at podcast@send7.orgwww.SEND7.org

Silicon Bites Ep266 - Day 1,353 - 2025-11-07 | Civil War is Kremlin's #1 Fear, according to the Kremlin's own chief sociologist. If I was asked this question, I'd have said it's a low probability, as is the fragmentation of Russia into myriad smaller states. Not impossible, but very unlikely, even after the conclusion of Putin's disastrous war in Ukraine. On this channel, we have speculated extensively that a palace coup is more likely, or a kind of oligarch civil war, for a limited period and with limited scope. But Alexander Kharichev has put in black and white what Moscow usually whispers— the number one threat to Russia is… civil war, he writes. So, do they know something we don't? Or is this classic paranoia from the minion of a tyrannical and geriatric dictator? Is this Kremlin syndrome that sees enemies and calamity around every corner? Let's explore this question. “Who Are We?”: The Kremlin's early warning system. Alexander Kharichev, the powerful head of the Presidential Directorate for Monitoring and Analysis of Social Processes, published an essay called “Кто мы?” (Who Are We?) in the journal Gosudarstvo. In it, he lists five “civilizational challenges,” facing Russia, and more specifically the Kremlin, and tops the list with civil war / internal split. Russian business daily Vedomosti reviewed the piece and confirmed the framing and source.----------SOURCES: Michael Naki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn1HBcsrwDA&t=941s https://www.gazeta.ru/social/news/2025/11/05/27105038.shtml https://sia.ru/?section=410&action=show_news&id=16821490 https://www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/11/05/v-kremle-uvideli-ugrozu-grazhdanskoi-voini-v-rossii-a179190 https://deita.ru/article/577119 https://charter97.org/ru/news/2025/11/5/661891/----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

Kremlin's Top Threat RevealedIn this episode of Silicon Bites, the host discusses a recent article by Alexander Karachi, a senior Kremlin sociologist, which reveals that the Kremlin's number one fear is civil war in Russia. The episode delves into the five civilizational challenges listed in the article and argues that a palace coup or elite conflict over resources is a more likely scenario than a full-blown civil war. The script also examines the economic strains, rising living costs, and extreme military spending that are exacerbating Russia's vulnerabilities. The episode ends by highlighting the Kremlin's flawed solutions of increased militarization and ideological indoctrination, which may accelerate the fragmentation and collapse of the Russian state.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Gratitude00:58 The Kremlin's Greatest Fear: Civil War02:17 Analyzing the Article: Five Civilizational Challenges11:59 Economic Strain and War Spending18:25 Corruption and Internal Conflict23:44 Potential Regime Collapse and Future Outlook26:27 Conclusion: The Kremlin's Paranoia and Future----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------
2025-11-07 | Silicon Wafers 050 | Is Sergei Lavrov on the way out? After that embarrassment of the non-summit in Budapest, and the cold treatment of Kirill Dmitriev in Washington, it looks like Lavrov is falling out of favour with the Kremlin. But will he also be falling out with those square shaped and glazed objects, designed to let light into tall buildings? Budapest blows up, G20 gets awkward – it looks like Lavrov's star is waning. How we will miss his disingenuous horse-face. Not. Plans for the Budapest were a bust. Washington bailed on the Trump–Putin summit after a hardline Russian approach to the negotiations. The inflexibility of the Kremlin and its main foreign policy minion Lavrov went down badly with Secretary of State Rubio. Now it seems Lavrov is taking the blame, or so it seems from Moscow's rumour mill, as the Kremlin quietly swaps him out for the upcoming G20 summit. There are few confirmed facts but let that not stop us from diving into the fevered world of Kremlinology. It might also help to have a jocular reminder of happens to officials who fall from Putin's grace — from soft landings to prison cells, to altitude cancer and very hard landings.----------SOURCES: “The U.S. then cancelled the summit following a call between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.” — Reuters, Oct 31, 2025“radically changed under European influence” — The Moscow Times, Oct 27, 2025“will be led by Presidential Administration Deputy Chief of Staff Maxim Oreshkin.” — TASS, Nov 4, 2025“has ordered government officials to evaluate the feasibility of restarting Russia's own nuclear tests.” — AP News, Nov 5, 2025“was demoted but remains an advisor in the Kremlin.” — RAND, Jun 27, 2024“removed Sergei Surovikin… as head of the air force” — Reuters, Aug 23, 2023“sentenced to eight years in jail” — Reuters, Dec 15, 2017 (Ulyukayev)----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Viktor Orban e Vladimir Putin sono politicamente allineati, ma di recente Washington ha criticato l'Ungheria per l'importazione di petrolio russo. Allo stesso tempo, il legame tra il leader ungherese e Vladimir Putin potrebbe essere per Trump una carta da giocare per arrivare ad un accordo sul conflitto in Ucraina. Ne parliamo con Arturo Varvelli, direttore della sede romana dello European Council on Foreign Realations, e con Mattia Diletti, professore di scienza politica e public policy alla Sapienza Università di Roma.
The man Donald Trump has called a "great leader", and who has long provoked admiration in MAGA circles, suddenly finds himself in an unusual position – at odds with the US president on an issue of critical importance. Viktor Orban, Hungary's prime minister, is visiting the White House on Friday to try to resolve a dispute over Russian oil and gas. Orban wants to keep buying it, but Trump wants countries to wean themselves off Russian energy and help put the brakes on Russia's war in Ukraine. Will Trump choose to keep an old friend close, or put pressure on Putin? We speak to Nick Thorpe, the BBC's correspondent in Budapest, who has covered Orban since the 1980s.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Tuesday's election results were no surprise because the Democrats immigration strategy to change the demographics and citizenry, without assimilation, has worked. NYC will decline, the question is by how much and Virginia is now part of the federal government. If the election was about affordability why did NJ vote to increase their property taxes and energy bills? Also, America is at a critical juncture, threatened by Marxist Islamists on the extreme left and the extreme right. These evil forces collude to dismantle the greatest nation ever, embodying freedom, diversity, tolerance, just law, and decentralized power, inherited through ancestral sacrifices. They embrace tyrants like Hitler, Stalin, Qatar's leaders, Iran, and Putin, aiming to impose ideologies, religions, or third-world status. We need to reject and deplatform enablers in media, think tanks, and organizations profiting from hate, Marxism, Islamism, antisemitism, or anti-Christianity via market forces. Later, neither the law nor the Constitution prohibits a President from imposing tariffs, which can serve purposes like rebuilding industries, countering foreign tariffs, or ensuring national security. Congress holds the power of the purse and could pass statutes to limit presidential tariff authority, but it has not done so, making judicial intervention unnecessary and a potential separation of powers issue. The Court should refrain from involvement, as any limits would come from congressional action or voter disapproval. Afterward, Dinesh D'Souza calls in to explain the danger of Tucker Carlson, who is driving a wedge between Christians and Jews, America and Israel, and the pillars of Western civilization, which harms Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party by inviting bigotries like anti-Semitism. Finally, Eli Sharabi, a former Hamas hostage from Kibbutz Berry, calls in to share his story of what happened of October 7th and beyond in his new book, Hostage. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063489791/ During his 14-month captivity in tunnels, he lost over 60 pounds and bonded closely with fellow hostages, sharing daily conversations about their childhoods, families, friends, and hobbies to survive. They developed strategies for dealing with captors and analyzed them constantly. Throughout, they maintained unwavering hope and faith, believing it was only a matter of time before Israel, through the IDF, secret services, and leadership, would secure their release.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First—Syria's new president, once part of a jihadist insurgency, is set to meet President Trump at the White House on Monday. We'll break down what's at stake for U.S. policy, and why the administration is pushing both Congress and the UN to repeal heavy sanctions ahead of the meeting. Later in the show—South Korean intelligence has assessed that a summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un will likely take place next year, saying the hermit kingdom is already preparing behind the scenes for a dialogue. Plus—Russian strongman Vladimir Putin orders top officials to prepare plans to resume nuclear testing, a response to President Trump's recent announcement that the U.S. will soon begin nuclear testing for the first time in more than 30 years. In our 'Back of the Brief'—Ukraine's drone pilots are reportedly engaged in video-game-style kill-tracking, earning rewards for each successful strike on Russian forces. We'll break down this incentive-based system, and how it has fueled Ukraine's intensifying drone campaign.

Is Donald Trump dying, or just decomposing in real time? He's slurring words, disappearing for days, and bragging that he "aced" an IQ test that was actually a dementia screening. Florida Man may be wilding out destroying our White House, but his VP seems to be circling. It looks like JD Vance is wasting no time trying to lock down the Christian nationalist vote by publicly humiliating his Hindu wife Usha and cuddling up to Charlie Kirk's leather-clad widow. He's moving fast, which means he probably knows Trump's losing it even more than usual. Meanwhile, the Epstein cover-up continues with Vance's help, and Trump's cutting troops in Eastern Europe just as Putin ramps up his aggression across Europe.

Day 1,350.Today, as fierce fighting continues around Pokrovsk and Ukrainian forces strike energy facilities inside Russia, we report on a surge in American surveillance flights over the Black Sea – coinciding with the arrival of Washington's Ambassador to NATO in Kyiv. We also examine Ukraine's claim to have hit an elite Russian special forces unit stationed on a Black Sea oil platform, and speak with sanctions expert Stephanie Baker, who explains why Donald Trump's sanctions on Russian oil giants Lukoil and Rosneft are so significant.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Stephanie Baker (Senior Writer at Bloomberg). @StephaniBaker on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.
