  1. I think those people in the West who don't know need to be aware of the fact that in the Russian language there are two words for "Russians". One is "Russkiye" and the other one is "Rossiyane". "Rossiyane" is used to refer to all nations living in Russia, not necessarily ethnic Russians. So, it is very close in meaning to "the citizens of Russian federation". The "Russkiye" (or also the old "Rosichi") can be used to refer specifically to the ethnic Russians, that is, the nation that has historically become the basis of the Russian Federation.

  2. Shame on the USA for not saving Gonzalo Lira. Rest in peace, Gonzalo. Thank you for all your insightful and enlightening videos. My you be fully rewarded in the heavens for this invaluable input of yours and for your courage - we will continue to UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON!

  5. As a Russian citizen, I don't need much of Alexander's review of what happens in the battle fronts that much, but his reviews of the recent articles in the Western media is just invaluable for me as I don't have much time to keep up with them by myself, nor do I have the ability to see in them what Alexander sees right away.

  6. As a Russian, I can tell that Putin's answer was dubious. I even smiled and said to myself after listening to it, "Nice dodge!" :)

  7. 32:04: "Putin clearly does not want to be Put in that position" :)

  8. The trust of the Russians had been lost back in 1999 when NATO bombed Yugoslavia. All the rest until this current war has been merely a natural development of that. I still remember clearly how quickly and drastically attitude of Russians toward westerners, especially Americans, changed on that day when the bombardment started.

  10. Sadly, thanks to western media the majority of people in the West still don't know that this war started back in April 2014 when the acting president Turchinov sent troops to Donbas and started shelling the region calling it "Anti-Terrorist Operation". This happened so because people of Donbass refused to submit to the illegal authorities in Kiev who had usurped the state power by means of revolution. The media in the West would never mention - it's like a taboo there - that the Constitution of Ukraine forbids revolutions (Article 111) and that the act of usurpation of the state power by non-constitutional means is a state crime (Article 5). They wouldn't say that because they supported that revolution. These are simple facts that we all who are here are well aware of, yet the facts that constantly need to be told by us to anyone in the West who doesn't know them.

  11. Gosh! This review was way more than eye-opening!

  12. Alexander, please turn the ability of having auto-generated English subtitles on your video back on. We, Russian speakers whose English listening comprehension is not so great, still need them greatly.

  13. Hellow, guys! You may be embarrassed by your government, but, please, don't be embarrassed to be English! We Russians know it all too well what it's like when the government and the people are two different galaxies - we were in a similar tough spot back in the USSR times - so we do keep the presense of mind that a government doesn't nessessarily reflect the whole nation. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

  14. Alexander, you've turned off auto-generated English subtitles again. Please, don't do that.

  15. WOW! It's so much better when the programm is broken into titled sub-sections! Thank you Alexander!

  16. I don't understand how is Russian's breaking through Dnieper going to be the end of the war as Alexander is repeatedly saying. There will still be Odessa, Nikolayev, Harkiv, Kiev, Vinnitsa. How is that going to be the end of the war?

  17.  @JosephBisio  Didn't Russians take over two regions of Ukraine? Was that not a breakthrough? Was that small?

  20. It's funny to recall now how many times during the course of the year prior to the beginning of this special military operation in Ukraine Russia had warned the West about the red lines that were not to be crossed and how the West always responded with openly ignoring any possible consideration of any red lines "when it comes to the freedom and democracy". Well, now the West has to respond by depleting itself greatly in the way of sending huge amounts of money and weaponry into that black hole called Ukraine.

  27. 1:07:23: "The attacking party needs to outnumber the enemy by at least 2 to 3 to 1" - I didn't understand this phrase. Which proportion does Alexander mean here? Two to three? Or three to one?

  28. Alexander, Putin's address is NOT "state of the union" address. Please, don't call it that way. We are the Russian FEDERATION, we are not the union.
