…
The Russian question is probably second only to the Christianity question when it comes dividing J-woke right-wingers.
Back in the early days, blogger Rolo/Rurik of the Slavland Chronicles stated that as far as he was concerned that there were only two political camps that mattered to him: the anti-Russia and pro-Russia camps that his side was the pro-Russian one. Because of his skepticism of ideology as a concept—claiming that it was infinitely malleable—he said that it didn’t matter to him what reasoning led someone to take up the pro-Russia position, misguided or malicious, so long as at the end of the theorizing they were pointing their guns away from Russia, not at Russia. He said that this was the only thing that mattered in the final count.
But is this still a valid criteria for evaluating geopolitics 2+ years later?
With the ongoing Not-War nightmare, can pro-White right-wingers anywhere in the world still maintain a pro Russian stance? I think they can, but that this still requires a serious re-evaluation of what being pro-Russian means in the context of what we have learned about the Kremlin and Putin based on how they have conducted themselves during this Not-War.
Before the start of the SMO, being pro-Russian was strongly linked with being pro-Putin, especially for Westerners.
More than that, the perennial position on leadership taken by most people throughout history in various guises is that the Tsar is always good but that the boyars/ministers directly below him are misleading or sabotaging the Tsar. If the Tsar only knew what his officials got up to in his name! Once he finds out, he will clean house and save his people! And actually, prior to the SMO ripping the curtain back on the MO and true face of the Kremlin, this was not an unreasonable position to take.
Despite all the nastiness revealed to us about the Kremlin’s true MO, I believe that I can still make a case for why nationalists should still support Russia, despite the fact that “the Tsar” clearly does not support them back.
Let’s start by examining the argument put forward by a vocal and infamous Russian Nationalist fighting in the Donbass against the UAF. His real name is Aleksei Milchakov, but he went by the call sign “Fritz” during round one of the war in Donetsk (the first 8 years). He also had an ID number on his militia identity card that was literally “1488”. He has openly threatened to return to Russia and kill Azeri migrant gangsters who were caught beating random Russian children on playgrounds over social media. Finally, he has also previously stated in interviews that he is an open and proud National-Socialist, although he has been forced to distance himself from that in recent years. I’m referring, of course, to Rusich Battalion’s famous/infamous leader, who goes by the call-sign “Serb” nowadays.
Serb stated in his interview (that Rurik bullet-point translated some months back) that either Russia will win this war or Russia will perish. Because of this view, on his Telegram channel he openly applauds Kiev’s escalations against Russia because he wants to get the Kremlin’s back firmly pressed up against the wall.
When Ukraine drone-striked one of Russias early warning radars meant to detect incoming nuclear attacks, Serb wrote something along the lines of: “Fine by me, anything that makes goodwill gestures and cuckoldry to the West more difficult is good for Russia”. The situation is literal “do or die” for Russia in his mind.
And now let us examine the claims of the other camp, made by anti-Russian nationalists fighting on the side of Kiev and NATO in Donbass (and now Kursk). Of course, everyone knows that the West is a satrap of Israel in hard right wing circles and has known so for decades now. Furthermore, the occupied governments of the West do everything in their power to destroy White people. And so, being a 1488er that supports Kiev and NATO seems rather contradictory and many people have brought this contradiction up.
The reply to this claim by Azov (a famous Neo-Nazi battalion) is that they will overthrow ZOG, but only after they have destroyed Russia first. After defeating Russia, the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine claim that they will turn their attention to Kiev and then the EU and all of NATO. What makes this more interesting is that some of their more public personalities are at least partially Jewish and have close connections to the IDF. The most egregious example of this is “White Rex” or Denis Kapustin, who used to be an FSB officer/asset working to undermine Russian Nationalist groups in Russia as an agent provocateur.
In 2016, Kapustin and his mother received the status of Jewish refugees in Germany. And Kapustin now runs the RVF (Russian Volunteer Force) which claims to be a Russian Nationalist organization fighting against the tyranny of Moscow on the side of Kiev. Before Kiev invaded Kursk and took over the town of Sudzha (without any resistance offered by Putin), the RVF was supposedly the group organizing cross-border raids into Belgorod and other surrounding provinces. They work closely with Azov and there is significant overlap between the two organizations.
Just to reiterate: the ideological leader of the Russian nationalist volunteers sent in to take hostages in Russia by Kiev is himself Jewish.
Meanwhile, when Slavs were in charge of Azov more than a decade ago, the organization was pan-Slavic and saw Russians and Ukrainians as one people. After their buy-out by Jewish oligarchs (like Kholomoisky most famously), the organization adopted a new, genocidal rhetoric towards Russians and was taken over by literal IDF commanders.
Azov began to accuse Russians of being mixed-race Finnic mongrels and different on a genetic level to Ukrainians. This, despite the fact that the vast majority of the organization was Russian-speaking and hailed from Ukraine’s eastern regions. They then “elected” an actual Finn to run their organization just to make the whole situation more Kafkaesque.
Now, these same anti-Russian nationalists will claim that they will create an Eastern European Empire which will be just like the 4th Reich in the near future. But for now though, they tell their supporters that they’ve got to play it cool and to play it smart. That they’ve got to use NATO and the US and to allow themselves to be used by them. Finally, one day in the future, they will reveal their true agenda and outplay the US, Brussels and Tel Aviv. I am not misconstruing their positions, mind you. This is what they post on their social media to their followers.
It is quite similar to QAnon in the way that their supporters are strung along with promises of a day of reckoning to come when all of their enemies are outsmarted and defeated. In the meantime, they have to play along though, see? This is the same line used by many modern political charlatans and their PR teams, including Trump and Putin as well. Their supporters are told that at some future date, their man will suddenly reveal his secret patriotism and deliver on all of his promises to his followers. Between that point and now though, well, the game has to be played of course, and their followers have to be patient and understanding of all the backsliding and apparent setbacks.
And of course no one asks why the game is being revealed in public posts that the enemy can read thereby spoiling the whole plan because people prefer pleasant fantasies to the hard truth of how they are being lied to and screwed.
…
So now we compare and contrast the two camps and their claims.
Is Serb’s pro-Russian position less or more sane than the Azov/RVF anti-Russian right-winger position? In some ways, they are equally insane because Ukraine and Russia both have no viable future as sovereign states if things continue as they are now. However, it is clear that someone like Serb is fighting for simple bare bones survival. All of Putin’s faults or treachery or anti-nationalism notwithstanding, NATO really is now at Russia’s doorstep and now we are having an armed referendum on whether Russia will continue as a state or become another failed, carved-up rump state post-Soviet satrapy similar to … well, Ukraine.
But wait, isn’t Ukraine also fighting for survival?
Well no, Ukrainian SS LARPers aren’t fighting for their survival in any meaningful way and we have ample proof for this that has come out over the last couple of years. Most importantly, Minsk I and II and Istanbul were very generous (downright treasonous even!) peace deals offered by Moscow to Kiev. And the Kremlin in no way threatened the survival of Ukrainian statehood with these treaties. They all called for the reintegration of Donbass into Ukraine and a release of Crimea to boot.
I write all of this not as a Putin-apologist or an SMO-defender, but quite the opposite. What Putin signed onto with these peace deals was treasonous to Russia. Even now, Putin does not want to conquer Ukraine; he clearly wants a ceasefire that will allow him to save face and save the head that his face sits on and to return to some semblance of the status quo pre-SMO.
The original SMO objectives were, at best, related to regime change or getting Putin’s oligarch buddies restored to their positions of economic and political privilege in Ukraine, not the conquest of Ukraine. Russia was also fine with Ukraine joining EU. All of the escalation has been on Moscow’s side, not on Kiev’s. Putin doesn’t cross any redlines, nor does Putin enforce the red lines that he himself has drawn. Furthermore, Russia has been on the back foot since 2014. Putin and his FSB were caught with their pants down at the Sochi Olympics as the Maidan coup occurred. They lost Ukraine and most of Donbass in the next eight years.
Initiating the SMO was the one anomaly to the policy of steady retreat and surrender to the West Putin has pursued since being appointed to succeed Yeltsin by Kissinger and Finkelstein (Primakov). However, the SMO went south only weeks after being launched, forcing retreats across all of Ukraine. On the political side of things, what has Moscow been doing this whole time? They’ve been begging for negotiations and involved in secret talks that were deliberately spiked by Kiev with their Kursk invasion.
So no, no and no.
It is Russia that is fighting for survival (even though the Putin regime is clearly not interested in fighting seriously), not Ukraine. To be more precise, right-wingers like Serb, Pitbull, the Strelkovists, the Nazbols and all the other types are fighting for Russia’s survival while the Kremlin is fighting for better surrender terms. Kiev is fighting for Washington’s interests, and Ukrainian Neo-Nazis are fighting for, in theory, some future 4th Reich after they destroy Russia and overthrow ZOG while in practice they are fighting for Washington’s interests. The relative sizes of these countries on the world map are enough to make people instinctively see Ukraine as the underdog though when nothing could be further from the truth.
Of course, Serb and all the other anti-Putin right-wing types in Russia do call for the destruction of Ukrainian statehood. However this isn’t a relevant point to bring up really, because Moscow doesn’t care what they say and has arrested half of the Russian nationalist movement at this point. Russian right-wingers are not running this war or the country of Russia for that matter — someone very different is.
Furthermore, the proposition that Ukraine in its current format is a mortal threat to Russia is reasonable given that it has become a very dangerous, very well-armed NATO golem that has already literally invaded and claimed territory from Russia (Kursk). That is, for Russian right-wingers to take the position that this golem ought to be permanently removed from the chessboard is reasonable from their point of view.
Sadly, Putin does not agree with Russian right-wingers on this in the slightest.
And this is the biggest stumbling block that right wingers in the West face when trying to make sense of the conflict. The rhetoric from the Kremlin is clearly as anti-nationalist as Kiev’s or the West’s (if not more) and Putin is clearly no friend to nationalists (or Russians for that matter) if one takes the time to investigate his policies as ruler of Russia for more than 20 years. It makes sense then to knee-jerk support the people who are ostensibly fighting the man at the head of a self-styled “Antifa Multinational Values State” that seeks to spread this system Westward.
But the answer to the question “who to support?” is quite clear.
We can easily conclude that Kiev is run by a hostile and foreign junta of Jews because of how visibly Jewish the entire government is. From the President to his second-in-command Chief of Staff, to the Der Sturmer caricature of a Defense Minister and pretty much every single minister in between really, Ukraine is completely run by Jews. And while the Kremlin is much more opaque, it is largely the same. Putin’s top bankers, his top oligarch friends, his ex-defense minsters, his chief of staff, his prime minister and so on are not Russians. Then we can look at the kinds of right-wingers fighting for each side and notice that the Ukrainian side is filled with the same rogue’s gallery of villains. We can also notice just how much good press and international funding and government support that Ukraine’s anti-Russian nationalists get. In contrast, when we look at the plight of Russia’s nationalists, we see a very marginalized and set upon group. They are targeted by both Washington-Kiev and Moscow.
So using a simple heuristic, we just have to ask ourselves, which group of right-wingers are probably the good guys?
Could it be the ones that Moscow harasses, jails and murders and whom NATO also wants to kill … or is it the ones that NATO arms, funds, does PR for, Israel treats in its hospitals (yes Azov members have literally been treated in Israel) and whom Moscow’s top oligarch (Abramovich) takes on private jet tours where they are fed tiramisu and given free iPhones after they surrender?
Which ones are probably more likely to be our guys?
It is a real head-scratcher, for sure!
Perhaps the most common position for the Western right-winger at this point is to believe that the sooner the war ends the better. Slavs are being sent to slaughter each other while their cities are being flooded with invaders from Central Asia and Africa. I would be lying if I said I didn’t at least partially feel that way myself and sympathize with the reasoning behind such a position.
But the lingering question is this: is it truly reasonable to assume that Russia will be allowed to surrender at all?
After all, Japan wanted to surrender to America, but they were fire-bombed into submission anyway. And once the revolutionaries toppled the Tsar, they stopped fighting the Germans, but that didn’t stop the Germans from advancing eastward. Also, we know from history that sometimes unjust peace deals are worse than terrible wars. See Germany for proof of that again.
So, will Russia be given peace terms by NATO which will allow her to remain intact long-term?
What if Russian right-wingers like Serb and Strelkov are right and Washington will stop at nothing short of Russia’s disintegration and collapse?
What if new negotiations and a Minsk 3 kind of peace deal will be a prelude to Russia’s total dissolution?
What if fighting on in a horrible, pointless, grinding war of attrition for oligarchs’ interests is worse than the alternative — Weimar Russia?
If Serb and Strelkov and other Russian right-wingers are correct then the bloodletting going on now is going to be a drop in the bucket compared to what is to come. We are talking about the 90s returning with a vengeance and probably another war down the line on even worse terms for Russia. Maybe multiple wars even, with secessions happening all over the territory of the current Russian Federation. This is how NATO plans to carve up Russia and this is the doomsday scenario that Russian right-wingers are looking at.
Compare this to the doomsday scenario for Ukrainian right-wingers.
The worst that they get is the Istanbul Accords where even Crimea is re-leased from them, even if Kiev doesn’t necessarily get all of Donbass back immediately. This is hardly comparable or existential.
It feels dirty at this point to be writing what seems like a pro-war apologetic after everything we have found out together about the true nature and MO of the Kremlin over the last 2+ years. Russian right-wingers were warning about Putin’s perfidy since 2014 and many simply weren’t ready to listen. Now though, they warn that a bad peace will be worse than the continuation of this grotesque war.
So, perhaps we ought to listen this time?
I mean, what if Putin is actually right when he says that the US really is the “Empire of Lies” and therefore incapable of honoring agreements made with Moscow? Bizarrely, Putin will say this and then ask for more negotiations and agreements and will sign off on them right after warning that they are worthless only to exclaim that he has been fooled and led by the nose when it blows up in his face again. Perhaps the sensible thing for the Western right winger is simply to conclude that this all has nothing to do with him anyway and there are no good guys in either Moscow or Kiev and the nationalists on both sides are just fools for wanting to keep feeding the blood god with their daily offerings.
Fair enough, perhaps.
But put yourself in the shoes of the Russian Nationalist who now has NATO tanks on his soil (Kursk) and who has been warning about exactly this happening thanks to Putin’s perfidy since 2014. The NAFO refrain that there are now NATO tanks on Russian soil because Putin was the one who launched an SMO invasion of Ukraine to begin with is actually true. But the implication is that Putin is to blame for this current state of affairs, which is exactly what a Russian right-winger would say as well. This is indeed all Putin’s fault — it certainly isn’t the fault of Russian right-wingers! They would also add that this bizarre mess is all because of Putin refusing to fight a real war and insisting on fighting a disastrous “special anti-Nazi policing operation in fraternal socialist Ukraine nation” and on following the so-called “gentleman’s rules” that they’ve agreed to beforehand with Washington.
The Russian Nationalists have been saying since 2014 that the NATO tanks are coming and now they are saying “I told you so”. They aren’t saying “how did this happen?” while tearing out their hair and gnashing their teeth. They know exactly how it happened and who is to blame. Putin’s government spent the years up to the conflict in Ukraine privatizing and gutting the military. They then squashed the Russian Spring (populist Russian movement in favor of integrating Donbass into Russia) and tried to push Donbass back against its will back into the arms of Kiev. Only after the arrest of Putin’s close friend Viktor Medvedchuk did Putin ask Washington for permission to do his SMO and then walked straight into a trap.
Thus, the Kremlin blundered into a war after years of trying to avoid one and there is no way out now as far as the Russian Nationalists are concerned.
Prior to February of 22, I was a bit skeptical of the Rusich guys, Strelkov and Kvachkov because I thought their predictions of doom and NATO tanks on Russian soil where absurd and that actually Putin had things under control. Well I was wrong and they were right. The presence of NATO armor on Russian soil now is part of the process of the curtain being thrown back on Putin and his Kremlin.
Also, to the Russian right-winger mind, Russia was already headed for dissolution well prior to the SMO anyway. To them, any return to the prior status quo is impossible —there is only total defeat and the long term dissolution of Russia or victory that leads to Ukraine’s reintegration into Russia.
Now, how likely is such a victory?
In the military sense it is now totally impossible, of course. But that is OK because Putin and his people are more concerned with “moral victories” than securing the interests of the Russian state. In all seriousness though, the likelihood of victory shouldn’t be the measure of who you are supporting should it? In practice though, people want to support the winning team and most analysis is geared at proving that their side is winning. The idea that someone might support a cause or a team or a side even though they believe them to be losing is very difficult for most people to even conceptualize. I support Russia despite the fact that Putin might well end up in the Hague and lead Russia to total destruction and that the odds of this occurring are more likely than Russia winning the war against Kiev. In fact, the gloomy prospects don’t dissuade me in the slightest.
For me, the reasoning is simple.
I support the cause of the Russian Nationalists because the entire Putin Occupation Government in Moscow is against them, Washington is against them, Kiev is trying to kill them in Ukraine and no one in the West even knows about these guys because of a total informational blackout created by pro-Putin Z-bloggers pretending that these guys either don’t exist or are all traitors to multipolarity. Others should support them if for no other reason than the fact that they are hated by all of the worst people. Maybe it is totally ridiculous of them to hold out hope that Russia will be dragged into fighting a war of survival for real instead of this bizarre SMO, but this is nowhere near as fantastical a hope as the creation of an Eastern European Azov Reich.
Think of it like this.
In all likelihood Iran is a satrapy of the West just like Russia. Hezbollah is probably doomed and was sold out by the mullahs in Tehran to Israel. There is still, nonetheless, the mid-level Hezbollah leadership and the grunts beneath them that survived the pager-bomb massacre and the subsequent bombing/assassination. They are still out there, fighting the IDF and giving them a bloody nose.
Personally I find these mid-level Hezbollah commanders’ and grunts’ refusal to die faster appalling in light of Jewish suffering during the Holocaust, but if I were an immoral person who didn’t use the Holocaust as a heuristic for good and bad, I would be tempted to support and admire these Hezbollah guys who fight on regardless of the fact that their long-term prospects are grim and despite the fact that they probably have knives poised above their own backs from their compromised leadership, Israeli bombs dropping down on them from overhead and bullets coming whistling at them from the front. Are they stupid for resisting? I am not sure.
What I do feel sure about though is that it doesn’t take much courage at all to simply roll over or refuse to even start fighting. That is what the average Westerner does: absolutely nothing. And maybe he is “correct” to do so. Either way, I bring up Hezbollah because it is roughly analogous to where Russian right-wingers are — between a rock and a hard place.
Respected readers, you don’t have to be “Zigger” or a Kremlinite to support the motley crew of arrested debtors, convicted zeks, football hooligans and genuine political idealists fighting for Russia on the Donbass front. Like the Hezbollah grunts, the Russian guys in the line of fire could very well be making a last stand and going down fighting against incredible odds. Perhaps other Russians will even envy their quick end in the struggles of the decades to come. The only even remotely valid criticism that can be leveled against Russian right-wingers is that they need to find a way to save Russia by getting rid of Putin first and foremost. That is, that they should sign a kind of temporary Brest-Litovsk peace deal to end the war with major territorial concessions and to focus on seizing power like the Bolsheviks did, only without the support of the international ethnic banking, media and spook state mafia behind their backs.
Or maybe they should do more podcasts and focus on their blogging?
Jokes aside, I’m genuinely sympathetic to those who are appalled by this Slavic bloodbath. My conclusion though is that this is a kind of last stand for Russia and not not a war of choice. To say that it is time to throw in towel or that the Russian Nationalists are just gullible fools willingly going to the slaughter presupposes that Russia can actually surrender on good terms and get back to a kind of status quo. Most Russian Nationalists go to fight despite their government and have nothing but contempt for Putin. They simply don’t see a future for Russia if the war is lost, regardless of who is at the helm.
This is a case that I’ve not seen anyone make to the English-speaking world before.
Hopefully you found it convincing.

Babyface Tsar is fatally compromised by his Jew-Zionist milieu.
The author knows little about the dire military situation of Ukraine and the mighty military power of Russia. Testimony to Congress says that MAD no longer works since the Russian nuclear force is so far ahead of us. We are tied with 2nd place with the PLA and the PLA is shooting ahead of us.
What a dumb article completely dominated by resentment.
Jews are omnipotent, everyone and everything is controlled by Jews, but Kevin vicariously experiences a sense of masculinity by cheering for the scrappy underdogs making a “last stand” that appeals to his boomer action movie logic.
He also apparently doesn’t understand nationalism in Russia.
Feeling betrayed by Putin because he isn’t a white supremacist is the most idiotic stance I can think of.
Russia is a multinational federation spread across a vast geographic expanse. What Putin fears more than anything is further balkanization.
What exactly dos Kevin want Putin to do? Institute some kind of Russian apartheid where Muscovites have a certain stature that the remainder of Russia doesn’t? I’m sure the CIA color revolution planners would love nothing more than Putin to turn Muslims in Russia into second class citizens.
Multiculturalism in Russia is a completely different animal than multiculturalism in the West. It’s one thing to share a vast country with different groups of people who are in fact living in their historic homelands. It’s another to directly start importing millions of people from the other side of the world to intentionally genocide your native population.
Heey Kevin, sober up. Its a text of michmach of all, everything and nothing. We know you are a hardcorewhitey..and so am I. But I favour colored as much as I favour whites. Iii am a sc white, but I dont care. I am only interested in whoo ruules the world..and the 300 are all whiteys (do you realy support them..,,)(The 300, by John Coleman)(and there are the 70, sanhedrin all whiteypricks, do you like them..). Its irrational to be locked up in a genomthinking. It just gives the enemy/talmudistcracyfockers another confirmation that the goys are nonbrainers who does not deserve anything more than to be a slave…Have you not read the ‘Protocols’..of course you have. Do it again
Sounds like you read a lot of pro-Russian doomer Telegram. Check out the comments on MOA, they would call your garden variety bitching concern-trolling. We won’t get a better deal than Putin, no matter how hard you wish wish wish for some mythical Russian Chuck Norris Tsar. Russia will solve Ukraine by military means, it will take time, because industrial scale war is a difficult task. You can’t decide how things should be and then blame Putin for Russia not following your plan.
The right wing is often idiotic, used as boogeymen by Western governments, reviled by media, they still volunteer to die for the hegemon in Ukraine and the ME.
So Kevin agrees with Blinken: Putin must go!
Didn’t have that on my bingo card today.
The fifteen million or so Muscovites in the Metropol are probably aware they are in a fight to the death with NATO and behind that the US.
The Russian mindset is battered by the dozens of grandiose invasions by Westerners into a sort of permanent siege mentality. They’ve tried every Western fad when they’ve felt insecure after stumbling and found the ideologies wanting.
A fight to death it probably is.
I have to agree. Kevin doesn’t understand how different Russia is than the USA. Sure, I’m disappointed with the Putin regime on many levels, especially that they have European-style laws against “extremism” and Holocaust revisionism. They should also put an immediate halt to immigration from the Muslim ‘stans (except of course for ethnic Russians.) But Putin is not Xi, he has to work with other power factions in the Russian government and sometimes compromise. I don’t know what his true beliefs are but he’s a hell of a lot better than the White-haters who rule us. He still advocates Russian values and the rights of the Russian majority. As for the SMO, I’d love to see Russian tanks rolling into Kiev right now, but the US is ruled by hateful lunatics who’d gladly kill a billion people in a nuclear war rather than see Jewish power be diminished in the slightest.
Strange times we live in. All contenders move about like shuffling cattle and form the infamous circular firing squad.
Putin has the same warrant Western presidents, premiers, and prime ministers have: Appear to rule, however ineptly, but the Elders give the orders
As 1950s jukebox music put it, we got to break this chain of fools — and fast.
I don’t know how but history stopped moving in 1945 and zombie statesmanship took root. We are in a bind. Something bigger than politics has to break this impasse. And quick. One more pandemic and we’ll all be slaves or dead.
It’s not Putin’s perfidy. It’s his limitation in a complex game of balancing as Russia isn’t a unified homogenous nation.
It’s dumb to think uke tanks in a tiny and shrinking part of Kursk is a big deal. The author misses that there’s no difference between that and uke tanks in Russian Kherson
Personally, I blame Gorbachev.
If you are a Chinese person reading this, particularly if you are in a high position, I most earnestly warn you that the biggest dream and hope of the US State Department is impose a Gorbachev style wrecker as Chinese leader.
Please take heed from my words: *THEY ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WILL EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE*.
I take the liberty of appending here a comment to an article by John Helmer that, of course, as a resident correspondent in Moscow he would find difficult to publish.
=====
Dear John Helmer,
Re your https://johnhelmer.net/sending-a-boy-to-do-a-mans-job-vladimir-medinsky-to-negotiate-istanbul-ii/
I’ve been concerned for a while about the tension between Putin’s Jewish and Slav self-identifications. Putin is a halachic Jew, from his mother. And Jew-identified through Jewish relatives from even his Slavic father’s side, since Putin’s ethnic Slav grandfather was adopted into a Jewish family.
I put this conflict right at the centre of what’s up with Russia.
So I’m always looking for the Jewish angle and the Jews in the woodwork.
I wonder why you so quickly accepted re Medinsky that “Both parents appear to be ethnically Russian.”
A moment’s search on Yandex shows that Medinsky is among the Jewish names in Argentina. Argentina happens to have two online directories of Argentinean Jewish names. (“D’Alesandro” and its variants are no longer there because that was crypto-Jew Nancy Pelosi’s fake-Catholic father’s name. Look now for “Medinsky” to also disappear.)
I wonder if you are aware that both Trump and Biden are Jews. Both fanatic Zionists. (Trump’s elder brother Freddy was head of the Jewish fraternity SAM at Lehigh. Biden used his Iraqi maternal great grandfather’s Torah as proof of Iraqi descent to vote in their US sponsored election of 2005, covered by CNN.)
Trump and Putin are both very closely linked to Chabad.
Zelensky too is a Jew heading another 0.1% Jewish country. He’s also Chabad.
I’m sure you heard of the Russian official who was demoted for saying that Chabad is supremacist. Lavrov and Patrushev both joined Putin in the denunciation. Supremacist is the least of it. It is satanic – witness the blood-stained tunnel coming out of the main Chabad synagogue, in Brooklyn, that was quickly filled with concrete, no questions asked.
Look into the Chabad Moshiach Rabbi Menachem Schneerson’s plan for the Ukraine-Russia war. See if it doesn’t resemble what’s going on.
https://historyreviewed.best/index.php/photos-article-evil-jew-messiah-mendel-schneerson-on-his-plans-for-destroying-ukraine-and-russia/
I’m wondering if you know of American rabbi Eliezrie proudly reporting on the enormously dominant role of Jews in Russia (0.1 of the population).
http://www.renegadetribune.com/rabbi-david-eliezrie-talks-about-how-jews-run-russia-and-ukraine/
I assume you are aware that the Holocaust story is an enormous fraud. In the period of perestroika the Auschwitz archives were opened, and we could all see for ourselves that instead of four million Jews having been killed there the total number of deaths from all causes (mostly natural) of all peoples (not nearly all Jews) was 68,000. After Putin came to power the archives were quickly sealed up. Putin’s decree is that all who cast doubt on the Holocaust go to jail.
Medinsky no doubt has in mind the propping up of any historical account that is good for Jews, and the definition of Russian identity in anti-Nazi (and thus pro-Jewish) terms. Imagine parades of all Russians and Ukrainians whose grandparents were murdered by Jews. Imagine marchers holding up Solzhenitsyn’s Two Hundred Years Together.
Just think that Syria still has no defense against F-35s.
All this is due primarily to Putin’s questionable Jew-identification. The heart and soul of the fifth-column is Putin himself. The revised Chabad goal is nominal nations run and owned by their tiny Jew elites. If Putin can’t have that, might as well surrender. That’s better for Jews, Russian and Israeli, than Slavic Christians joining up with Muslims to defeat their common enemy, the satanic West.
I suppose saying what I’m saying here will get any Russian jailed.
With regards,
xxxx
Yes, he should stick to what he knows, those that self ID as Jewish.
Thanks. The Schneerson stuff in particular needs to be better publicized.
Seems some think that because the Jews control the West therefore the Jews also control Russia, meanwhile Jews used to control Russia, they brought Communism to Russia. But Stalin quickly sorted them out. Most of the remaining Jews left Russia for New York or Israel. Now the remaining Jews in Russia are Russian, if not they quickly get sorted out.
With regards to the Muslims, they have always been part of Russia. Its only in recent times that the Muslims have started flocking to the cities and forming gangs. But they know that they have to behave themselves, because the police are brutal in Russia. Its in fact only because of the ethic Russian crime element that the Muslims are tolerated in the cities, because the ethic Russian crime elements use the Muslims to do the dirty work for them. So the Muslims in the cities are tolerated so to speak. Muslims also make excellent ground forces, look at the Chechens, Putin gives an order and those Chechens will carry out the order, no morals or ethics or civilians or children come into the equation, when necessary.
Just like Communism came from the West to Russia, just so does the left and right wing concepts. Because of their Western origin, neither the left nor the right wing is trusted in Russia. Both the left and right wings are perceived to be working with and for the West. Both just want to open Russia up into divide and rule possibilities for the West. So both the left wing (Navalny) and the right wing (Prigo) get their dues when required.
Russia just wants peace, with peace Russia just gets stronger and stronger with everyone wanting to buy Russia’s commodities and oil. Therefore Putin has always been pursuing peace, he wanted all of Ukraine to belong to Ukraine. Problem was the West can’t handle peace, the West is collapsing with peace while Russia grows stronger with peace. So the West needs war, and between the West and those stubborn, belligerent, alcoholic Russians in Eastern Ukraine there was just no possibility of peace. So Putin had to accept war, however he then turned it into a very slow kind of war, a Special Military Operation. And this SloMO is working wonderfully, the West is unable to produce all the weaponry that Ukraine requires, so just by mostly shelling Russia is winning the war in Ukraine. Its normal Russian military doctrine, just is being done extra slowly.
Russia is in an extremely strong situation. The USSR collapsed because the USSR concentrated on the military instead of on food production. So the USSR could not grow enough food to feed itself and had to import grain and meat from the West. The Saudis then increased oil production so lowering the oil price and Russia collapsed as it was unable to feed its population. Putin concentrated on food production, so Russia is now a much harder nut to crack than the USSR was. However Russia still inherited all the USSR’s arms, and by modernizing them Russia now has enough food and enough arms for whatever may come. So overall, Russia is in a much better situation than the USSR was in. The only thing lacking in Russia now is manpower, but Putin just has to say the word and lots from the Muslim world and the East will flock to Russia’s banner because they all hate the West. Russia just has to supply them with food and arms, which Russia can produce in quantity, and those guys will fight for Russia.
So Russia is in an extremely strong situation, and can afford to wait till the West exhausts itself with all its LGBT, BLM, AntiFa nonsense. Heck, the USA might even collapse if they rig the elections against Trump again. Why fight a war when you just have to engage in a minor border dispute to win? And Russia is just involved in a minor border dispute, only when Russia assembles multiple armies of a million men each is Russia at war.
Russia has always been “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma”, its no use trying to understand them. All that is known is that they will fight and they defeated Napoleon and Hitler.
Slavic names in themselves mean little one way or the other, as Jews sometimes change to them. A Medinsky might be a Slav or might be a Jew who changed his name, or his ancestors did. Zelensky is derived from the Slavic work for “green”, and it is possible his original name was Grun, Grunberg, Greenberg, Greenblatt or any of a range of other names.
@Godly17 @rockatansky @Bragadocious etc:
NOTE THAT KEVIN MACDONALD DID NOT WRITE THIS ARTICLE, HE JUST PUBLISHED IT ON THE OO, WHICH DOES NOT EQUAL ENDORSEMENT.
HE PROBABLY DID NOT EVEN READ THIS. THE ACTUAL AUTHOR IS SOME NARCISSISTIC CLOWN TRYING TO GAIN A FOLLOWING ON HIS BLOG BY SPOUTING A CONSPIRATORIAL VIEW OF THE RUSSO-UKRAINIAN WAR OF HIS OWN CONCOCTION, THE CONTENTS OF WHICH MAKE VERY LITTLE SENSE, AS CAN BE INFERRED BY READING THIS PIECE AND COMPARING IT TO THE CURRENT REALITIES OF THE BATTLEFIELD, WHICH SEE RUSSIAN TROOPS ADVANCING EVERYWHERE AND THE UKRAINIAN CONTINGENT IN KURSK OBLAST, ESPECIALLY, BEING IN DIRE STRAITS ATM.
I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHY THE UNZ REVIEW WOULD WANT TO ATTRIBUTE THIS TO K. MACDONALD, IT IS A NOTICEABLE OVERSIGHT THEY PROBABLY WOULD WISH TO CORRECT.
The narcissistic clown in question is the mouthy, self-important guy who has heretofore blogged under the name Rolo Slavski. As elsewhere, Slavski’s modus operandi here is to repeat one or two factitious absurdities to the point where readers’ patience is so fretted that, utterly exhausted, they plead with Slavski for mercy.
Apropos this site’s misattribution of the article to Professor McDonald, it should be added that the very same misattribution appeared at TOO—and not for the first time, alas. Indeed, that site’s habitués have become so familiar with this unfortunate phenomenon that they seldom get fooled by it. Even so, it is both sad and revealing that so few of this thread’s pretentious blatherers are well enough acquainted with KM’s writings to spot at once that he could not possibly have written this ridiculous piece.
‘White Supremacy’ will at least compete against Jewish Supremacy than serve it.
That’s a terribly ignorant article. Russia is certainly winning in Ukraine and it was obvious Russia was going to win after the first two weeks (or before it started).
This article is by Kevin McDonald? Wow. He should acquaint himself with the basics of the situation in Ukraine by watching channels like The Duran or Judge Napolitano’s channel, etc.
Hi “James” of “Africa”! Or is it Martyanov of Seattle?
One day, patriots will free Russia and capture Putin!

There’s too much information available for me to remember every author or commentator’s oeuvre. My plan B in a lot of cases is to try and judge articles by content to compare it to my own take and to MSM narrative. As far as possible anyway.
All those links from one source! You forget to bitch about Putin’s height. Concern toll, you’re just making it all about you and your brave fight to expose some kind of hidden truth, if only people would heed your warnings, etc.
Idiot. The 300 aren’t white. And this article isn’t written by Kevin l
Are you so stupid that you can’t read a summary ? This article is not written by Kevin, dumbkopf.
Color me stupid. But I’m perplexed as to why MacDonald would allow his name to be used when this head-scratcher was written by two other guys. Are these MacDonald’s views as well? Please, Mr. MacDonald, don’t you owe your readers an explanation?

I’ll add some Russian propaganda. The map guys, pro-Ukraine and pro-Russian, seem to reach some kind of consensus. You can also see MSM reports on Russian progress, but remember attrition, the slow grind never stopped, it just became more opportunistic:

The Slavland Chronicles. By Rurik Skywalker. “Extroverts simply cannot be truth-tellers. It is anathema to them because the truth incurs high social penalties.” Rolo Slavskiy is a writer, commentator and Russian patriot who writes in English and podcasts in Russian.
I can also link articles that were written by someone inside Russia, in fact born in Soviet Union/Russian Federation:

I have my favourite media, you have yours, good night!
Can you refute any of the facts stated in those articles, or will you continue to double down with your cognitive dissonance?
Why? You guys just pile the crap on, and dare people to “refute” your latest cherry-picked whatever. I looked at the Helmer piece, I saw that kind of argument before. I think Anon trolls, nobody can seriously expect to just blow an opposing commentator’s mind with cleverness and links like he seems to be trying. Last time I checked, Putin was head of the Russian government, spare me your what ifs.
Excellent ending to an excellent comment.
Here, a song that brings many a Russian to tears:

Why?
Why?!?
Because you never have refuted their points. You called actual patriots foreign shills. Address their legitimate points, unless you admit you’re a piece of shit jew shill who refuses to criticize jews within regimes you blindly support.
Go back to my Comments from early 2022. I supported Putin. I still do, with massive caveats. If you are so much of a jew SLAVE that you are unwilling to criticize your own side, then NONE of your posts have any value. You’re just an Antiwhite FSB shill who lacks credibility, and I will remind the good readers of Unz that you are unreliable
What seems to be your implicit view of Kevin McDonald—that he is simply one utterly ordinary Internet opinion pusher among hundreds—is most revealing.
You didn’t refute anything, you just threw slander at people who popped your propaganda bubble.
You’re lucky you’re getting this comment, because Unz wouldn’t let me post my more eloquent response. You are a partisan, and anything that is even lightly critical of your side is some sort of conspiracy. Your are nothing better than Alex Jones or any controlled opposition shill, another dupe to accept your information hub as gospel. You never read a single word from Russian nationalists, because their perspective would kill your shilling for the FSB.
I can call out my country’s Intel agencies. Can you? Probably not, because if you’re from Africa you’re just a low IQ pawn of whatever intel agency paid you enough to shill for them. But I am not an African and my people do not have an average IQ of 80. I have the intelligence to glean Data from many sources thanks to my European ancestry. So I know when my people are lying to me (all the time) or when they’re telling the truth
In 2000 years, maybe your people will have the same cognitive function. But probably not. Space travel is a pipe dream for lesser.
But despite all that, can you give an informative and reasoned critique of Rolo Slavskiy/Rurik Skywalker? If not, explain why beyond stupid shallow insults.
I agree with your sentiments entirely. Professor MacDonald’s articles and books are written to a high academic standard, unlike this drivel. The original piece appeared in TOO and was ascribed to Rolo Slavski. No mention was made of Professor MacDonald whatsoever. So no need to drag him into it. Shurely Shome mishtake on the part of UR.
Calm down, I don’t have to refute anything and I’m probably whiter than you, Africa keeps whites sticking together.
If UNZ is really deleting your posts it’s probably because you troll or go off topic.
It’s the Nerd Factor, dude! No commentator really gets paid by shadowy agencies, it’s all just ego and leisure time!
Team Pop Warner and Anon001, I see getting rid of the Putin government as one of the main reasons for the West financing this war in the first place. You guys are on the same page as NATO in my book.
Meanwhile other enemies of Putin are having troubles of their own:

Actually, that seems to have been an error. When the article appeared on the Occidental Observer website, Kevin MacDonald was listed as the author, so that’s how I republished it.
However, the author was later corrected to “Rolo Slavskiy” and I’ve now done the same with the copy here.
Why do we need to take any side? My side is both governments need to be destroyed along with all the rest in white nations. We cannot affect anything in any way so why pick a side? I’m on both peoples side and neither governments side. I assume attempts at communication between Ukrainian and Russian nat socs would amount to treason and get them killed even if they wanted to communicate but that would be the type of outcome I would want.
The people in Azov today are not even the same people that were there years ago. Its like looking at some goofball CIA nazis in America wearing SS uniforms and talking about how the SS has been taken over by jews. No shit.
I subscribed to the Slavland Chronicles for a short time. Rolo (wasn’t he born in the US?) had a few articles published in TUR a while back which stimulated my curiosity. The man REALLY hates Putin, not without good reason.
Per PC Roberts, Putin, by not quickly ending the US-led war using overwhelming force, has led the world to the brink of nuclear war. Maybe Russian patriots feel the same way about Putin as does Rolo. Col. MacGregor has said similar things about them wanting to mount an assault on Kiev, but Putin is stopping them.
But, with this outlandish article, claiming that Ukraine is winning and Russia is losing, Rolo has clearly jumped the shark.
Let me add any nationalist socialists should desert both armies. White men need to stop fighting in fake jew vs. jew wars which only end up in getting our best young men killed. The reason Azov is the way it is today is because just like in WW2 the traitorous Wehrmacht officers threw all the SS soldiers into dangerous spots trying to get them killed the same has been done with Azov going all the way back to the original fighting in Donbass and the best of the men in there either left or are dead.
Let all the new diverse “citizens” of the West who are being handed all the power and resources fight the wars like white men used to fight when the governments at least paid lip service to working in our best interests.
Liberals and leftists don’t join the military in large numbers. The majority of white men in the military are at worst Republican patriot Fox News types.
Lets put the “diversity makes us stronger” mantra to the test.
If France invaded USA tommorow I sure as hell wouldn’t be signing up to kill French men or defend ZOG.
Exactly. If Russia couldn’t defeat Ukraine the way Germany defeated France, Poland, Czechia, etc. with a quick conquest using the element of surprise and not allowing NATO to use its overwhelming advantage in wealyh they shouldn’t have ever attacked at all. They didn’t even attempt to conquer territory quickly instead doing the American in Iraq fireworks show which looks great on the news but accomplished very little just as it did in Iraq. They even had the ability to use their air force the first few days. I don’t understand why all those missiles and drones haven’t been used to take out the anti aircraft weapons. They haven’t even tried to gain air superiority. It seems like its purposely being conducted to lose as much infantry as possible without risking too many expensive vehicles. It makes perfect sense to me that both sides are just trying to kill as many men as possible both of the enemy and of their own people. The actions of both sides only make sense if this is one of the primary goals along with depleting the stocks of older weapons and equipment so the taxpaying white men of Russia and NATO nations can pay to replace them all with newer more expensive stuff.
Nothing either side is doing seems logical if they goal is to defeat th
Thanks for your follow-up remarks. Unfortunately, being ignorant seldom slows commenters down, whether here or elsewhere.
Sadly, when the article was first posted at TOO on October 14, the byline listed KM as its author, even though it was plain that his contribution ended with the very first line, which identified the true source. The byline is now correct, but the correction did not appear at TOO until the overnight of October 15/16, by which time TUR had already picked up the piece, along with its mistaken byline. The authorship has now been corrected here as well.
Kill as many Russian and Ukranian men as possible and send a few million Africans to rape their widows afterwards. That seems to be the tactical strategy being employed by both sides. Absolutely no attempt to take out anti aircrafts weapons and gain air superiority despite allegedly having a far superior air force. Do these Russian aircraft even exist other than a handful of prototypes? Or is the jewish media just creating a paper tiger to justify NATO’s defense spending on aircraft in every NATO nation. We saw a handful of them give a fireworks display for CNN during the first few nights and then they vanished despite Ukraine having a far inferior air force to the one Russia is alleged to have. We’ve been told they must never use their aircraft because of Ukrainian (American) anti aircraft weapons.
Has there ever been another war where one side has a far superior air force but is totally unable to use it due to AA defense? Logically this would mean that based on the alleged effectiveness and numbers of Russian AA systems unless they were destroyed they would be completely protected from air attack and if at war with NATO the American air force would not be able to attack unless willing to take very high losses.
The whole war including the ridiculous complete silence and refusal to consider peace negotiations. The media and politicians complete silence over Putin already making offers that would be the type of ending if a conditional surrender was forced. The party that claims it wants to stop funding the war isn’t at all interested in negotiating an end to the war? How does any of this make sense to so many people… A war where both sides pretty openly commit to killing as many soldiers as possible while making as little gains as possible. The dual citizens in charge of Russia told Putin not to advance near their bioweapon labs so they never even attempt to go across the river thats a few hundred miles away from the largest ones.
A plan for killing as many men as possible so they can all be replaced with diversity. If some Ukranian women escape as refugees instead of being raped by the replacements of their sons and husbands its no worry, wherever they flee to there are Muslims and Africans waiting to rape them there too. Funny how the Ukrainian refugees were women and children but the alleged war ravaged African and Arab refugees are all young men. The invaders from South America and India where no wars are alleged to be happening bring more women and children.
I am asked to believe African dictators and warlords allow millions of potential soldiers for their armies just flee during a war. But next year they will tell me those same warlords were using child soldiers and thus have committed war crimes so they must be destroyed when Apple and Tesla need the lithium mines in their territories modernized because the africans just stand in dirty rain water digging it up with their hands. Since all their soldiers are in America and Europe genociding whites even the diverse rainbow military will have no problem conquering the territory with the precious metals needed to create millions of electric cars and solar panels.
Robo Slobsky was chopped livah when you got through with him, Pierre, in the comment section. Thanks for sorting this ???? whatever he is, to the dumpster.
Praise from a fellow veteran of many TOO conflicts, over the course of more time than I am comfortable remembering, is high praise indeed.
When Kevin first began posting Slavski’s articles—it must be almost two years ago now—I initially read each one with real excitement at the prospect of getting a genuinely local perspective on Russian attitudes toward both the Ukraine conflict and Putin’s overall handling of domestic and foreign affairs. I quickly discovered, however, that his snideness, repetitiveness, and especially his ever-present amour propre were poor substitutes for the insight and insider’s assessment that I had hoped for and that he signally failed to provide.
Thanks for the correction.
Seems the mistake was originally made at the TOO, which is odd, as the style and content of the article in no way reached the standard of Prof MacDonald.
I first heard of Rolo Slavski (y) when he was mentioned in the UR column of the trans(hu)man formerly known as Anatoly Karlin. He had attacked Karlin in the comments section over some matter, about which I have forgotten. Karlin replied that Slavski is the pseudonym of some American blogger/journalist who had come to Moscow some years previously ( before 2020 ) and had been hustling ever since. He had no understanding or insight into Russia or Russians, Karlin said.
In this, Karlin was backed up by other commenters who seemed to know much more about this character than Karlin. Slavski made no attempt to refute that he was an American who had only recently come to Moscow. Thereafter, I have ignored all Slavski’s articles as a waste of time.
It would be good to read articles from a European or North American who had lived in the real Russia – not Moscow or St Petersburg – for many years, and hear their genuine insights and analyses. Slavski does not fit the bill.
I am grateful to you for this very helpful background, of which I had no prior knowledge whatsoever. It sure looks as if Slavski is basically just a hustler.
We can easily conclude that Kiev is run by a hostile and foreign junta of Jews because of how visibly Jewish the entire government is. From the President to his second-in-command Chief of Staff, to the Der Sturmer caricature of a Defense Minister and pretty much every single minister in between really
I call bullshit on that.
Let’s see a source.
This “Rolo” also didn’t mention how Putin started the war by putting his corrupt Jewish private warlord in charge of the main front. That was ignored by the Putin defenders at Unz. They have to maintain their childish fantasy of Putin fighting the Jews…..while praising Jews and putting them in key positions (chief propagandist is also Jewish). It’s so ridiculous but some posters hate the Jews so much that they’d clearly rather have unsupported fantasy to reality.
Even now, Putin does not want to conquer Ukraine; he clearly wants a ceasefire that will allow him to save face and save the head that his face sits on and to return to some semblance of the status quo pre-SMO.
You mean he has been pushed to scaling back his goals after failing to take Kiev and the entire country.
He would still happily take all of Ukraine if thought it was possible.
Prior to February of 22, I was a bit skeptical of the Rusich guys, Strelkov and Kvachkov because I thought their predictions of doom and NATO tanks on Russian soil where absurd and that actually Putin had things under control. Well I was wrong and they were right.
Strelkov has since been arrested for criticizing Putin in a blog post. He was given 4 years in prison for calling him a war dunce. Ironically Strelkov may soon be in an assault squad on the front as away to reduce his sentence. Being pals with Putin really worked out for him.
The author Rolo Slavskiy never once explained how this war benefits the people of either Ukraine or Russia.
That is where the pro-Putin arguments break down.
You call list all the Jews you want or point out how some US politician is a real dickhead.
But what does this war do for the people? How does destroying Eastern Ukrainian villages and cities (mostly ethnic Russian) and killing over 100k Orthodox men on both sides benefit anyone? You can’t even claim “glory of Russia” like in past wars. This war has humiliated the Russian military.
Oh and Rolo on your next article about Putin and Jews please be sure to mention his June speech where he states that the Jews promote moral and national values in the youth:
https://www.rt.com/russia/598704-putin-jewish-salvation-day/
Gosh the Putin defenders at Unz don’t even respond to questions about it. It’s almost as if they want to pretend it doesn’t exist. A thousand posts about Zelensky, Nuland and Blinken but the June speech……(crickets).
Here is Slavskiy from a podcast made last year with a Slav based in Portugal. Slavskiy does not reveal his face or true name.
Video Link
The important bit is from 6:00 to 10:00. Speaking perfect American, he describes going to Russia, ie Moscow and St Petersburg, and meeting “Russian hating liberals” first. Only later did he meet nationalist, monarchists and other right wingers. We then get a number of glib comments about Russia being a “mafia state” ( then why has it been able to survive massive sanctions from the West ? ) and how no one is criticizing the obvious shortcomings exposed by the War. ( Because Russia has been able to surmount the economic difficulties with little trouble. It has continued to grow economically and has met its military production targets)
The last point about criticisms is not entirely true. There has been noticeable complaints about military performance in the field, and they have been acted upon. Shoigu has been replaced by a new Defence Minister, for example.
To repeat myself, Slavskiy is a young American who has gone to metropolitan Russia and has no real insight into Russia or Russians.
