He is completely on point and I honestly can’t understand the hysteria and the competing narratives. Guys, it’s a Potemkin village, I dare you to venture a few kms outside!!! The reality is that Moscow is the largest city in Europe with 20 million people based on official numbers. The city is full of beautiful, well preserved historical sites, has modern infrastructure and services, it’s easy to get around, it’s clean and it’s safe. Moscow’s Crime Index ~35.2 (very low among major cities). For comparison, Paris: ~58.0, London: ~55.6, Washington, D.C.: I~59.8, New York City: ~51.1, Toronto: Crime Index ~43.5. The people making the loudest noise either swallowed the decades long propaganda without ever having stepped foot there themselves or are gleefully remembering the lawless shit hole it was devolving into in the 90s. I’ve been to Moscow 7 times since 2007, with the most recent visit 2 years ago. It’s an amazing city whether you like the politics or not. As for venturing out beyond the shiny capital and SPB, most large and largish cities have seen tremendous improvements with progress being made elsewhere as well. Russia is 17,098,246 km², no one in their right mind is saying that all inhabited areas are an idyllic utopia. They aren’t. Some far from it. There is disparity and places that still resemble those gray Soviet memoryscapes. The same people making the most noise should however be honest and look around their own backyard and let everyone know what they see when they step out of their country’s postcard collection.

Andriy Bohdan, the former head of Zelensky’s administration, was interviewed by the propagandist Dmitry Gordon shortly after Putin and Zelensky’s had their one and only in person meeting in Normandy. Since it’s not captioned in English, I’ll translate below. Makes you wonder what could have been, doesn’t it? Gordon: How did Putin treat Zelensky? Bohdan: Respectfully Gordon: He addressed him formally? Bohdan: Yes Gordon: You’re emphasizing that it was with respect? Bohdan: Yes, very much so - you could tell that he wanted to find some solution to the problems. But I do not know from what motives: from economic, from political…seems to me that this is from political motives as well. But it seems to me that we somehow harshly tricked him. Gordon: Who? Putin? Bohdan: Yes. Gordon: We promised one thing and did another? Bohdan: Yes.... we promised one thing, and did nothing.

I find the collective, deliberate amnesia, as well as the refusal to acknowledge the many nuances & complexities, that both birthed & raised this tragic #UkraineRussia war, quite simply - absurd. In this video from April 2014, acting #Ukrainian president Turchynov announces the #ATO against his own citizens in Eastern Ukraine prior to the Geneva Summit. Consider this for a moment, why was it a Revolution of Dignity in the #Maidan yet a Terrorist Uprising in #Donbass?

Zelensky won the 2019 election by a landslide, securing over 73% of the vote, the highest margin of any previous presidential candidate. He was an appealing candidate as he was a political outsider with a populist agenda. I believe that many Ukrainians saw in him a typical Ukrainian citizen, one who understood the historical blood ties & geographical realities without sacrificing the path to a European future. His central campaign promises were to end the endemic corruption, bring peace with Russia & resolve the conflict in eastern Ukraine, promising to “do everything” for a ceasefire, including a dialogue with Russia & implementing the Minsk agreements. He also promised economic reforms to improve living standards, usher in a direct democracy & return power to the people of Ukraine. Any reasonable person should now be able to see just how epically he failed on delivering on those promises. Blaming Russia won’t quite stand up to scrutiny as his approval ratings plummeted to 27% prior to 2022. As we are fortunate to live in a digital age & with Zelensky being a public figure we can look back at what he had to say in his own words well before he chose to enter politics as well as when he was campaigning. In the third video he states in newly learned Ukrainian “I turned to Putin and said: I am ready to get on my knees, just do not put Ukraine on her knees. I am now ready to get on my knees before every mother who did not wait for her son to return from the front. I am ready to kneel before every wife who did not wait for her husband. I am ready to kneel before every child who waited but never saw their father return.” There aren’t enough lifetimes for him to get off his knees at this point. To come back to my previous posts, prior to meeting Zelensky, Putin said this “It’s one thing to play someone & another to be someone. Obviously, acting requires talent. Many talents. One of these talents is impersonation. You can change your role every ten minutes. The prince & the pauper - every 10 minutes, & you have to be convincing in every role. This is really a talent.” … he then proceeded to list the qualities needed to be an effective leader & finished with this “I am not saying that Mr Zelensky lacks these qualities; he very well may possess them. There may be a lack of experience, but experience, as people say, can be gained, it comes quickly. Does he have all the other qualities that I mentioned? He very well may have, but I do not know as he has not shown them in any way so far. But what we see is contradictory statements: he says one thing during the election campaign, & another thing afterward. Time will tell. We will see.” When they met in person in Normandy, Putin followed through on what he said before they met, that he wasn’t outright dismissing him due to his inexperience & initial flip flopping, he was open to having real dialogue & finding solutions. Zelensky’s head of office at the time, who was present for these conversations, emphasized that Putin was respectful & tried to find common ground to resolve issues but instead of taking the opportunity to deliver on what got him elected, Zelensky promised one thing but did nothing. This reaffirmed Putin’s initial observations of Zelensky saying one thing during the election campaign & a completely different thing after. Of course I am well aware that when it comes to this war, what led up to it & whether it could have been avoided, it’s not black & white. It’s complex, multifaceted, brimming with nuance, & cannot be oversimplified. There are people on both sides suffering from such severe cognitive dissonance that they are no longer capable of considering any narrative that challenges their position, even minimally. These posts aren’t for them. They are for those who are still capable of critical thinking even when it’s uncomfortable. As Putin said, “time will tell, we will see.” Time has now passed. I know what I see, but I’m curious as to what others see.

Church of Kiev-Pechersk on New Year's Eve, the faithful came to say goodbye to their Church. The priests & the faithful are no longer allowed to enter. Particularly painful as Orthodox Christmas is an important day for millions. #DemocraticUkraine

Unpopular opinion. When Zelebobik got elected, I had genuine hope that he would deliver on his promise of ushering in peace to all Ukrainians. I still believe that he wasn’t completely disingenuous when he ran on that platform. He may just be a victim himself.

Prominent Ukrainian journalist Vitaly Portnikov, one of the organizers of the Euro Maidan and a frequent contributor to Radio Free Europe & Radio Liberty, had the following gem to share. “We hear that the deputies should be the first to fight, and then everyone else. No, people, this is a democratic state. In it, ordinary people die for the country”.
