I thought you all might find this perspective useful. I have pointed out Sergey Bakylkov before, but here is his thoughtful response to the Mobilization and Protests in Russia today, September 26th. We can speculate what is going on, but his views, as an English speaking Russian who is very knowledgeable with regards to geopolitics and Russian history (he explains the history as he takes you through the cities throughout the country), are particularly poignant. He has 20k followers from around the world and responds frequently to the YT posters as he walks throughout the cities- and truly Russian- he takes no crap from people.

new teddies on the block. a symbolic and real cut at once. let the Empire of Lies hurt.
poor Assange still ‘in’ the block.
