  1. Jake, on TV right now, there's an interview with journalist Gary Shteyngart, who has an article in the current issue of "The Atlantic", about Russian propaganda dissemination in Russian state TV non-news as well as news programs. Shteyngart left Russia with his family when he was 8, and he looks to be in his fifties now. It's pretty gripping and interesting. Shteyngart watched Russian state TV for 5 days straight, and draws some startling and interesting conclusions about the measure of and nature of propaganda infiltration into EVERYTHING the older, 'TV generation' there, are absorbing. Lots of triumphalism, weird inferiority, and license for violence. "Russia as the noble but jilted lover, spurned by the world, entitled to respond with brutality." And lots of impotence "cures" to be used together with alcohol. It's nuts.
