  1. RIP, Ganzalo. We all miss you. Rest assured we are still doing it - understanding what's going on.

  2. We in Russia have a saying "If the West is scolding us, then it means we are on the right way" :)

  3. "Not from hero to zero, but from hero to absolute minus" :) :) :) That was brilliant!

  5. I guess you Finns hate us Russians for taking Karelia away from you, right?

  6.  @kristyann9912  :) In reality it's a far cry from "only one thing".

  7. My dear The Duran anchors, please, stay well and take care of yourself. Don't just randomly go outside exposing yourselves to the danger of catching coronavirus. We still need you! Hello from Russia.

  8. Why does Alex always "Elensky" instead of "Zelensky"?

  9. In the year of 2017 I went to the UK for the first time in my life with my whole family. This had long been my dream - to visit London - the city of Sherlock Holmes and Liverpool - the city of the Beatles. At the airport, however, we had quite a saddening experience. A person who was apparently helping the tourists arriving at the Tube find their right way to get to the center of London came up to us and asked if we needed any assistance. He was quite nice with us in the beginning. But then he asked, "You must be from Ukraine, right?" When we said that we were from Russia, he face literally turned grim, after which he said, "OK. Follow the maps on the wall. They're self-explanatory." We were very much surprised by his reaction. It looked like he probably had some relatives in Ukraine or, perhaps, his whole take on Russians was just negative. Truth be told, the young lady who came up to heлp us later was very nice and many more common British people in London and Liverpool were just amazing. So, that first instance did not spoil our trip. We came back very happy, full of recollections and want to visit that beautiful country again!

  10. It has already become my hobby to firstly get confused by reading the news on Yahoo, BBC and CNN and then to get fully clarified by coming to Duran.

  11. Alexander might need to be corrected here: the Russian phrase "Наша сила в правде" ("Our strenth is in the truth" or "Our strength is in the righteous and honest justice") was known in the Russian-speaking world long before American nation even came about.

  12.  @Ace-od8en  But why does Alexander still say "Zelensky" then?

  13. Ukraine as a state collapsed when the state power in it was changed by means of revolution, a way which is not provided in the very definition of that state (Constitution), and when three of its regions (Luhansk, Donetsk, and Crimea) refused to submit the new illegal authorities. Therefore, if Russia invaded anything, it was those three entities, but not Ukraine.

  14. If Russia really wanted to kill him, that would have definitely been something else than Novichok. Just remember how they dealt with terrorists in Nord-Ost in Moscow when they just pumped some undetectable gas into the theater and everyone fell asleep then. Or just recall how they killed Ibn al-Khattab in the Second Chechen War. There was absolutely no need to use Novichok for that. They have thousands of easier and more efficient ways.

  15. There was an experiment done on a monkey back in 70's. The monkey was trained to do some things on being shown a circle and yet other things on being shown a square. Everything went fine until one day the monkey was shown a circle slowly transforming into a square on computer's screen. They say that the monkey became too excited and literally lost its mind. I was that monkey just now as I was watching this video. :)
