I read Solzhenitsyn and I also know Putin grew up studying the Talmud and jails "antisemites."

Can someone post a link from something less sketchy than telegram?

He is not perfect but I like Putin a lot. He is a bastion of right-wing populism and is a foil to American anarcho-tyranny

Telegram isn't sketchy at all lol, download it and follow our guys there. Don't join chat channels if you want to avoid the feds.

Below is the message from telegram copy pasted


Putin has said in his speeches that his inspiration for going into Ukraine is Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

In 1990 Solzhenitsyn authored this work, Rebuilding Russia, which calls for Russia to unite Belarus (White Russia), Ukraine (Little Russia) and Northern Kazakhstan (which is populated by racially Russian people) based on their shared Rus blood and Slavic culture.

He does not support imperialism. He explicitly condemns Russian governance over non-Russians and supports independence for Baltic states, Central Asia, etc.

This essay is the best insight into what the Russian agenda in Ukraine ultimately is, yet I don't see any of the talking heads or academics referring to it.

Instead they are making hamfisted Soviet comparisons, even though Putin and Solzhenitsyn believe the Jewish Bolsheviks were responsible for creating division and anti-Russian animosity in Ukraine.

Not sketchy at all? It requires your cell number.

They can't do anything with it just make sure it doesn't get your contacts so it doesn't notify irls and make sure it's hidden from your profile. If you're super paranoid just pay a couple bucks for a fake number.

Use a burner if you're paranoid, encrypted messaging is a good thing to have. Plus all dissidents are there, you're kind of out of the loop if you're not able to follow telegram channels.

If you're still looking for the book, I uploaded it to archive.org to share with some non-telegram friends

The link leads to Erik Striker's channell. Solzhenytsin wanted to unite Russia with Belarus and Ukraine and it seems that we are going in that direction. I have my doubts Ukrainians will accept it but we will see.

Telegram is literally the best and only large scale dissident friendly platform.

His war declaration speech was pretty faggy but hey he broke the modern world order so I'll give him credit
