Sep 2015: Traditionally, a changing world order has been accompanied by either a large global conflict or a series of regional conflicts. Similarly, we are living through a time in which a unipolar world is reluctantly transforming into something new. One tool at the disposal of political elites is the manipulation of the media. This channel is geared at providing accurate translations of primary sources that are unlikely to air in Western mainstream media. I aim to counter what may be incorrect perceptions of Russia's foreign policy. I am not connected to the Kremlin, FSB, Batman or other sources of influence. Dec 2018 update: My secondary channel has launched in conjunction with VGTRK - Russia's largest state media corporation. I remain autonomous in the selection and political commentary of my translated outtakes, full feature films and short documentaries. The VGTRK channel is linked below - for exclusive content, subscribe there too!
