  1. Keir Giles actually mentioned the other day, on Pyotr Kurzin's channel, that Kursk has dropped of the news a bit, but that's not so bad, because it's become normalised, and then Mr Garner mentions how Putin said when asked about Kursk, "vse normalno, spokoyno!" - all is normal, it's calm/quiet!" - Keir Giles vindicated 💯. Finally, Mr Garner's Russian is very good, just those 3 words gave away, with his annunciation, he knows how to speak Russian, as does the host Jonathon.

  2. 9At the 6:50 mark, Mr Garner says, "...so when Putin came in, those same (Yeltsin) spin doctors were literally battering down the doors of the media and applying all osrts of pressure..." - The first thing they did was cancel a political satire show that used puppets to mock politicians called "Kukliy" i.e. puppets (also used as a word for dolls too) but the show was called Puppets. The word is here in Ukraine that Putin used to blow his stack every time he saw that show -they did mock him a lot on it - he hated it, plus they got a lot of mileage out of Yeltsin, but Yeltsin was not bothered by it, he was so drunk mostly, he probably laughed along with it! 🤡 Summing up, this was the first ominous sign, preceding the "Ryazan sugar" incident, that showed the true character of Putin, but the western political establishment ignored it all, Merkel being the most prominent example here in Europe - she signed the Nord Stream II contracts with Putin not long after he took Crimea and Girkin started the war in Donbas. 💩
