Weeks ago, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, I tried to get in touch with Russian writers and reporters who were likely against the war and probably being shut down at home. My idea was to create a Substack for them and have their articles translated into English, so the world could see any opinions that are perhaps being suppressed in Moscow.
“Russian Dissidents” is an attempt to create a home for these writers. Some of the contributors here will be writing under pseudonyms, and some, like longtime Marxist theoretician, Samizdat writer, and eventual political editor of Novaya Gazeta Boris Kagarlitsky, will be writing under their own names.
Dissidents. Is there anything else left in the world other than dissidents?
Interesting article by Boris Kagarlitsky, who says Putin launched the war as a way to reverse growing political problems faced by his regime. This makes sense, since the war has left Russia worse off – Finland has asked to join Nato, which means NATO nuclear weapons could now plausibly end up only 100 miles from St. Petersburg, Russia’s 2nd most important city.
Even if Russia subdues Ukraine, this is failure by Putin’s own standard.
“The war has left Russia worse off”
Yeah….right….snort.
The west is about to self destruct…but Russia
LOL!
Yeah, right, only Pootin’s sock puppets don’t see it.
An interesting POV in Mariupol on the situation for the residents.
Just hellish .

ZERO propaganda.
…and it looks to me so far, that those Russian Soldiers he see’s & talks to are doing nothing but helping out the residents of Mariupol…
