Thanks to Eugenia for the superb translation and subtitle work. We love you.
Ruslan’s technique reminds me of Ali dancing around his opponent, peppering him with jabs, mercilessly snapping the poor sucker’s forehead like a drum until the ref stopped the fight.

I see that on this occasion Radio Liberty used a photo from Ukraine to represent the situation in Russia. This is an “improvement” I suppose, as some years back a US media outlet used a photo from Greece to represent Russia, as both use similar cyrillic alphabets.
@1:32 Either way, our people, with the exception of a small group of ’liberals’, do not trust the Western media.
That’s of course very good. Apparently, the liberals — inside and outside of Russia — aren’t possessed by Russophobia for no reason. The funny thing is the habit the liberal West has of imposing sanctions on Russia’s business elite, where liberalism does have a non-negligible base. One can’t help wonder what a wealthy Russian businessperson feels when being sanctioned and slandered by the great and glorious West. Like: ”Hey, what’s wrong? Isn’t it a European value after all that ’Geld stinkt nicht’ ?”. And the West’s tacit response amounts to: ”Correct, but you Russians surely stink like hell”.
Russia and America have traded places from 50 years ago. Nowadays the US propaganda is sneered at by most Russians. Meanwhile Google, Facebook, YouTube are deleting accounts, censoring Russian sites right and left. Clearly the US Establishment is afraid of the truth getting to the American people.
When I saw the title I thought this would be about radio free europe. :-D Like rfe, this radio svoboda is standard fare of zionazi-gay propagandists. They (svoboda) should change their name to radio schlomo. I’d be more honest…
The zionazi-gay lie machine literally iseverything Orwell imagined they would be, and then some. No lie no matter how embarrassingly crude is beneath them.
In major gaffe, US envoy MISTAKES Holocaust victims for Crimean Tatars… and he is NOT the first to do it
“James S. Gilmore III, the United States Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) decried the Soviet displacement of Crimean Tatars from the peninsula at the height of the Second World War, in a recent Twitter publication.
“On May 18, 1944, [Joseph] Stalin deported nearly 200,000 Tatars from Crimea, and we recall the victims of this act of brutality,” he wrote. The tweet also pulled no punches on modern Russia, claiming “thousands of Crimeans” were forced to flee because of “severe repression of opponents of its occupation.”
The illustration to the tweet depicted no Tatars but the eviction of Jews by the Nazis from a ghetto in Lodz.
The photo, available in the public domain – with the website of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) being the most amenable source – depicts Jewish men and women loaded onto freight trains bound for the notorious extermination camp in Chelmno, Poland.
It took some time for the official to realize the gaffe and, on Saturday, the image –not the ambassador’s wording, of course– was promptly replaced with that of the turquoise flag adopted by Ukraine’s Crimean Tatars.
And it seems history is repeating itself… Last year Ukraine’s embassy to the US was left red-faced over almost the same blunder. Their tweet (now removed) also featured the Holocaust photo in question to bemoan the “bitter history” of the Crimean Tatars’ deportation.
At the time, the Embassy wrote that this was “a day when we couldn’t stop Stalin,” with the “we” adding an odd flavor to the message. The deportation took place at the final stages of WWII, so “stopping” the Soviets – notwithstanding their deeds – could mean fighting for or siding with Nazi forces under the friend-or-foe logic of war.”
IE: monkey see/hear, monkey also do. Pure right wingery.
Droll trolling from Ruslan and the gang.

Russian liberals have no future anywhere.

We are vigilant and always ready to cut ”the partners” down to size
Love those quotation marks! They are clearly part of the effort alongside the merciless trashing of Western fake-news.
Thanks for the translation.
Is it my imagination, or has Ruslan slowed down his delivery a litlte bit this time?
This edition was easier for me to follow.
