Yes i know it has been a long time. Really, you could say that it's been a long time, getting from there to here. Dan and I talked about his impressions of Canada and how things have gone in the past year. He''s dealt with the healthcare system, the school system, he's taught at a Canadian university and a college. We also of course talked about what's up in Ukraine. If you want to help out, help out. How? well, there's the Red Cross, UNCR and UNICEF.

Dan in a scary hatSeriously, one day I''ll get us a website. Dan and I are back talking about the war. Speicifcally, what do we expect to happen when this thing ends? How will it end? Have you given money to the people of Ukraine yet?  Daniil has, I have, you should too. Oh, how do you do that?  Well, there's the Red Cross, UNCR and UNICEF.  

It's the six month anniversary of Putin's illegal attack on Ukraine. So, we thought we'd talk about that a bit. Would visa denials to Russians work?  (We have different ideas here). How would Putin be overthrown? Have you given money to the people of Ukraine yet?  Daniil has, I have, you should too. Oh, how do you do that?  Well, there's the Red Cross, UNCR and UNICEF.

Hey everyone.  After a one week hiatus, My Nuremberg is back. In this episode Daniil and I discuss what will happen after the war ends, which it must at some point. Im probably a bit more optimistic than Dan is, Dan would tell me that is because he's Russian. His scenario is probably right though.  Russia will end up being somewhere between North Korea and Iran. The weird thing is, people there might just accept it.  For a time anyway. I learned the word for school in Russian. Please give to the UNHCR and/or the Red Cross.

We're back with greetings from Sault Ste. Marie, Yerevan, and points beyond. We talked about national myths. We talked abotu propoganda. We talked about looking forward vs. looking back. I learned the word for bird in Russian. Please give to the UNHCR and/or the Red Cross.

We're back! Don't ddrink vodka mixed with anything. Don't drinkBloody Caesers. We talked about Russia's COVID response. We talked abotu propoganda and its impact on Russian views of the world. I learned the word clock, which has crazy sounds in it that don't bellong in words. Please give to the UNHCR and/or the Red Cross.

Yeah yeah, we'll get a webiste, I swear. More freewheeling today, looking at Daniil's decision to leave Putin's Russia. Why Canada? Oh I learned to say 'bicycle' in Russian.  Apparently my accent needs a lot of work. There are no rules in Russia, this is done on purpose. Please give to the UNHCR and/or the Red Cross.

Look, I'l eventually get us our own website.... In this episode we talk about three major events in Russia in 2014.  Dan taught me a new word!  (I'm going to learn one Russian word per show, I should be fluent before 2050). Please give to the UNHCR and/or the Red Cross.    

Yerevan and Sault Ste. Marie connected again today.  I wonder, was anyone else from here talking to someone from there today?   Today Dan and I talked about the Medvedev years, and I struggled to proberly pronounce his name.   Dan promises to teach me a little Russian once he is allowed to come to Canada. We seem to have nailed down when I would leave, and it's the Georgia war. I plugged my twitter handle, while Dan said 'please be attentive to politics' which, really, is better than me plugging my twitter handle. I swear we're going to get a website and our own feed. Again, we urge you to give to the UNHCR and the Red Cross.

In this episode we explore further the rise of Putin and how he was viewed by the average Russian. We alsoo continue to figure out when I would leave a country like this. We talk generally about the incremental removal of what civil liberties and society Russia had under Putin. Please give to organizations that will help Ukrainian refugees, including the Red Cross and the UNHCR.
