Does Russia have any kind of government "rescue agency" for the population after disasters? The U.S. has FEMA, Federal Emergency Management Agency, that arrives fairly quickly on the scene of large disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires. They have had some failures, but American media documents them and publicizes them, so generally they correct failures. In addition, there are Associations like the American Red Cross.
EXCELLENT NEWS REPORT IN ACCURACY AND IN TIME. When and if Russia will have again in the future a true democratic government with freedom of expression for all Russian people, without persecution, without laws preventing to speak the truth (forcing to deceive about a war called "special military operation") in order to make the war by going around the laws or constitution calling it not a war, & if ever freedom returns in Russia, surely exile reporters like you Konstantin, risking everything to testify and reveal the truth, will be seen as heroes that fought for the truth, one day in the future Russia (hoping) and enter the pages of history on the side of good and truth.
Sorry if I missed it, but I hope you got your family out.
Although I am glad that Russia is falling apart, I really feel for you Constantin, I can't imagine how much it hurts to see the country of your birth be returned to the bad old days. I really hope that when Putin has gone, the Russian people get a chance to revive your country, their lost freedoms and the ruined economy. The enormity of what has to be done is unimaginable, apart from annihilating a whole generation, putin has succeeded in bringing a country that should be the richest in the world, economically to its knees. I think the Russia you knew in the good times has gone forever 😢
33:10 well, for myself, those few bits of edited in video to go along with the stories / news were enjoyable. Think it they went together well and added to the overall video.
Just the few, wouldn't be saying to add more or anything. Just that it's enjoyable edit work 🙌

We in Poland lived that communist absurdity 🤦♀️ I thanked God every day since, I escaped.
THE DEAL THAT STALIN MADE TO TRUST HITLER, TO THE MORTAL HARM OF MILLIONS OF POLISH PEOPLE, THEN BOUNCED BACK AS HITLER ATTACKED STALIN AND COST THE LIVES OF THREE MILLION RUSSIANS TO BE LOST IN WW2. AND SO FROM THIS, BOTH PUTIN AND DUGGIN, SHOULD SEE THAT AGGRESSION IS NOT A WAY TO THE GLORIOUS BETTERMENT OF RUSSIA. BUT AT LEAST THEY WOULD SEE THIS IF THEY LEARNED FROM THEIR OWN HISTORY. AGGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALWAYS END UP RIPPED OFF.
I hope that Poland keeps standing their ground and not allow Russian propaganda in.
@@leosiwicki2013 Russian propagandists are at work throughout the world, including Poland. I trust there are enough common sense and history aware Polish citizens to counter the push.
@tangodaze
Very true, it's Kremlin's (and most autocracies') strongest weapon in their hybrid-war. However, that's why in most of "Eastern" Europe Russia is a recognised terrorist regime. That made their state media taken off-air and covert propaganda distribution a legally sanctioned (sometimes banned or punished by the new laws) offense. These new laws can punish justification of Russia's war, genocide and agression in countries neighbouring it. Secret services are monitoring this propaganda distribution in Poland too. It works on various levels, curbing the activism of Russia's agents and sponsored fan-clubs from causing coordinated chaos and subversions like happened ex.g. 2013-14 in Donbas. Even if Poles in general are way too historically aware to fall for direct Kremlin's propaganda, these measures still curb the inevitable seeping in of its more covert soft propaganda narratives and consolidate the public opinion. The critics decrying infringement of "free speech" in the "west" to counter such measures - are usually the same Kremlin agents using "free speech" as a hybrid weapon against any place it exists - unlike Russia itself. Rest of democratic countries should take notes.
But girls in Russian stripclubs can wear what their clients want.
The crazy thing is that most Russians do not seem to think that what goes on in Russia is crazy. It's absolutely normal to them.
I believe it's being called fatalism. And it's weirdly fascinating to witness how the civilian infrastructure in the entire Russian Fedration is now starting to fall apart, thanks to at least two decades of money-grifting and just plain negligence, while all of the money is being pumped into Putin's "limited special military operation". The Russian society is headed directly towards the edge of the cliff, just like an overwhelmingly large group of lemmings on the move.
Vodka has that effect.
That also applies to cultists and Jan 6 in the States.
@@teacherella1338 I could not agree more. I blame the British who deliberately exported their crazy people to America and their criminals to Australia.
THEY THINK THAT WAY PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED NOT TO THINK THAT WAY.
Interesting tidbit...when McDonald's first went into Russia one of the biggest problems they had was teaching the employees to be nice to the customers.
If I were Russian, I would be filled with such an inextinguishable rage against my government. Leaving aside the criminal war against Ukraine and all of the other such things, Russia is a country with such a tremendous wealth in natural resources and also many very smart, very educated people, yet it's squandered again and again and again to benefit the kleptocracy.
I don't understand them either, I'm from Germany and can't understand them. Since 24th 2 2012 they've gone crazy!

@@danielscaife1517THIS is how WE Germans were seen by the world 1933-1945.
This IS how Fascism and 100% Imperialism looks like from the outside.
Moscow want to rebuilt the Tsarist Russian Empire+the Warsaw pact by force.
Because Russia has become 100% Imperialistic & Fascist since Putin took office.
Putin and his cronies have never accepted the breakup of the old Empire. And has made it his life goal to rebuilt it by any means necessary.
And this is how it looks like.
This is how we Germans looked like from 1933-1945.
This is how fascism looks like.
- telling children that dying for the great supreme leader is something you want
- teaching children that enlarging the empire is everything that is important in your life

Etc, etc, etc.
That's how fascism looks like from the outside in real life, if you are not the fascist country...😢😢

It was winter.
An Uzbec shepherd was protecting his flock when a pack of wolves attacked his goats. The Uzbec, not to be dismayed, took his great grandfathers old Mosin-Nagant and shot all the wolves.
Hearing there was a bounty on wolves being paid by the Ukrainians, he beheaded all the wolves and put their heads in the back of his truck.
He drove many days and finally made his way to Ukraine. The guards were shocked by the number of heads in the bed of hos truck.
"These are all Russians!" They said.
"Russians? Wolves? What's the difference?" he responded.
They paid him double.

A Russian soldier, working in the Russian Military Missile Command, was ordered to launch his nuclear weapons at the enemy of Russia.
Being a loyal Russian soldier, he programmed his missiles to strike at Russia's enemy.
20 minutes later, the Kremlin, St Peterberg, and Putin's personal mansions were consumed by nuclear fire.
The soldier was tried in a Russian court. His only defense? "You told me to target the enemies of Russia!"
The jury, considering the evidence, acquitted him of all charges.

Well, yeah. Muhammad say girl is clown. Russia not that different, though. Woman for media, as good wife. Accessory.
Name 5 famous Russian females. Ok 10.
Makes you wonder if Russia is planning to do something similar. Then again, with all the young men who have died they kinda need women to do the work back home.
@@Nessy-of-the-Lynnyes, they need to replace the male workforce (problem is that many high-qualified Russians left the country).
On the other hand, women should marry and have many children, according to the Kremlin. Impossible but to crack
@@Nessy-of-the-Lynnyou are right. Like the Na#is Russia demands from their female citiziens more children for now. Over time rhe regime will need them for work replacing the fallen men. Just like the Na#is.

When the report on the refinery in the Rostov area first came through, I immediately checked the NASA FIRMS map, which is for fire tracking (normally wildfires, but it shows any large fires). The biggest fire in the area was huge - around 1.5km at its widest point, running NW to SE along the road. I went on Google maps and put in the coordinates, switched to satellite and zoomed in, and sure enough, there was a refinery there. So I measured the coordinates around the perimeter of the fire on the FIRMS map and then put them into Google maps to get an idea of the extent. It covered the entire facility. My conclusion is this refinery is a total loss. The entire thing was on fire, including storage tanks.
Wow!
Great!!! I admire your research skills.
How is that possible, there was a cope cage on the Distillation Tower.
How is that possible, there was a cope cage on the distillation tower
@@dr.williams5251 No idea. I just know what FIRMS and Google Maps showed. Either the cope cage didn't work, or it wasn't drones (which I think I heard from some source - not sure). I think cope cages are more moves of desperation than well-designed defensive strategies. Many of them on tanks and infantry vehicles just don't work at all. If it was missiles, I wouldn't expect cope cages to work either. But even drones could potentially get through. A wave to bust through the cope cages, then another to hit the exposed equipment/buildings. It's also not clear to me that this particular facility even had cope cages. But there was a hot spot the size of the entire facility.
As a retired elevator technician and then a state elevator inspector, I found the elevator story very interesting. People don't think about elevators until they quit working then they go to the top of the list. They can also be quite dangerous if not maintained.
I think of elevators and their technicians, thank you for your service sir! I have a deep respect to all professionals regardless what job they do.
Thanks for your summary of the news -- I hear about these events nowhere else, Konstantin

Thank you Mr Konstantin... for the update on the current situation in Russia... please take care too. ... Glory to Ukraine
When you introduced “positive news” I was like: “Something positive in Putin’s Russia?! Let’s hear it!”
And did a spit take when you told us that the government announced fake McDonald’s as healthy food proudly.
More of these sarcastic positive news please!
Tasty Period, doesn't sound that appetizing at all!
It is another realm. McDonalds obsession with unhealthy food. They do have a Kale salat, and apples and organic coffee, but that's about it. I once surgested to McD they'd introduce McNuts, some bags with Hazel and pistacie nuts. People want otherwize. Something recognizable cheap, with taste enhancing ingrediences. A comfort window, a small escape from hard digestable fiberous foods.. nevermind the sugar , low q fats . It's still a cheap comfortable escape. If it cuts a year of your life expectancy, they still want it.
Due to the stupidity of Putin, the economy in Russia is going down the drain,
going to war invading Ukraine was crazy.
And he thought it would make him more popular 😅
Tell Pootin, not us.
He has taken his country back 100 years, and it will be several generations before there is a chance that Russia will be invited back in some places.
Putin is responsible for single handedly ruining Russia, along with all the sheep who turn a blind eye to works orchestrated by their government, claiming to be apolitical, its a downright shame that 141 million Russians are afraid of tsar Vladolph Putler, hopefully some day before its too late the sheep will wake up before the slaughter and take back control from the maniacal regime that is Putler and his cronies
I thought the Vietnam war and Iraq 2003 was a horrible mistake for the US, but the US doesn't have anything in Russia right now on Ukraine 😂😂😂😂
No problem at all!🤷♂️ That elevator is fine and will be relabeled as an “ express elevator” to the ground floor. 🙄😉

Well, soon, there will be no need of more "defective windows" to people to "kill themselves"...
A Ukrainian farmer was driving his pickup truck on a road around Zaporizhia...
When some Russian soldiers hijacked his truck and forced him to drive them to the front.
On the way, an ATCAMS missile blew up a bridge out from underneath the truck he was driving and the truck went into the water. Thankfully, the Ukrainian was able to swim to shore and survived, but the Russian soldiers all drown.
Apparently, they were unable to figure out how to open the tailgate.
Thankfully, bad karma is really a cruel bitch! 😅

My favorite russian bedstory is the explaining of how patients on life support get up walk away from an induced coma and leap five stories through a window while atrophied and having literally zero lean muscle mass, and official cause of death: "Natural Causes". Yes, gravity is natural.

Thanks for sharing that firefighting story again - I found your original telling of that story and, specifically, of the difference between your experiences with the fire fighters in Russia and in the USA a couple of years later to be incredibly moving and insightful. I just wanted to mention a couple of things. As someone from the UK who is around about your age (just a couple of years older), I just want to say it's incredibly heartbreaking for me to see what's happened. I remember well being 17yo in 1991 and as a politically engaged and optimistic young person hoping that Russia would become a genuine friend to the West - and it looked very possible at the time. And as I got older and worked in a company in London which employed many staff from many countries, I did get to know some lovely Russians who did great work and everything seemed really normal.
Then, alas, one man's neo-imperialist dream took over. ☹
I also want to say that I did join your Patreon a short while ago and would recommend others do too. Basically, you get three emails a day each with three really interesting stories relevant to how everything is developing. I always find the stories very educational and it's a nice thing to get in my email inbox on a regular basis.
I remember in the nineties when Russia was being referred to as an "ally", and NATO membership was even being discussed.
@@PaulMDavidsonrussia took not being invited into nato very personally.
@@moshunit96 I remember George Robertson saying that when Vlad P asked him about the membership process at the time, he got the impression the Russian leader was slightly annoyed when he explained that Russia would have to apply and then be approved by all the existing member states. Apparently P felt that Russia should be able to just skip the usual process. Interesting insight into his worldview there, I think.
@@PaulMDavidson VP was definitely pushing for it in the early 2000s. And really, given all that's transpired since, we can surely say that NATO dodged a bullet there. Can you imagine how much more difficult the current situation would be if Russia were a NATO member? Zero chance of Finland and Sweden joining for a start, and all sorts of other complications too.
I really appreciate your reports. They help me understand Russia better.
My father and I have seen 12 dictatorships, and he signed up when Russia, Germany, Italy, and Japan dictatorships were doing their thing.
And friends of the dictatorships like Vichy France were helping as well.
I am lucky to be alive.

I really like these light-hearted Crazy Friday episodes, alongside your normal analysis of important events.
The things you talk about are important, crazy but important. I can't say I like it, watching a country commit suicide is not entertainment. The people that will suffer only know how to beg, they will do nothing to help themselves and their voices fall on deaf ears. I keep in mind the story of the dragon and I don't see it ever getting any better. It's tragic, for them and for the rest of the world. That makes me sad.
Tasty Period?! Yikes! In English, "period" has monthly connotations that you would not want associated with a food chain. 😬

I really appreciate these Crazy Friday news updates you do, it gives us a small window into what is actually happening in Russia, and it's great you provide some context for us with the news. You are really good at that!
I'm sure the wildfires will be bad, as will the buildings that Russia has no manpower or equipment to fix, where the original problem is usually corruption when they were built, so cheaper materials, missing sprinkler systems, etc. Thank you so much Konstantin for doing these news updates - especially the Friday ones! I'm buying you a cup of coffee for sure!
That Smersh-lady and all these "people" advocating for the revival of Smersh are out of their minds. Maybe it's the only way they expect they can quell their population, but I'm sure it would just be envious neighbors avenging something by giving someone with nothing to do with anything up. Horrifying scenario.

How do Russians feel about about being excluded from world events ?
Do they even know about them ? I am thinking sports , Eurovision and recently the D day landings.
Have Russians forgotten about the help given by the USA and UK arctic convoys.

Konstantin,
Thanks for your great work.
I do have a couple of questions that I would like to see you talk about.
1. How has the economy moving to a war production model (40%?? of GDP) been affecting Russia and the lives of ordinary citizens
2. Criminality: How has this increased, and what happened to all those heinous convicts recruited by Prigozhin now free on the streets of Russia.
3. How is it possible that Russia can support such incredible losses of human life and mutilated casualties without more opposition from the populace?
Thanks
You are not alone in wondering on all these questions. Yep I would love to hear Konstantin’s take on these as well.
1, The only problem with war economy is that it has to be financed somehow, because it does not produce value. Russia accumulated substantial savings over the years from their hydrocarbon sales. Furthermore, those sales continue, albeit in smaller quantities and at a lower price point.
3, Russia has substantial pool of draftable male population, around 27 million. Even with estimated casualties of 0.5 million (KIA, MIA, WIA), the reserves are still much higher.
1. Russian citizens make more money because of rapid economic development and strong competition for competent workers
2. The crime in Russia has never been as low as it is now
3. Russian losses aren't "incredible" as the western and UKR media is constantly lying, in fact Russians are now losing less and less people due to incredible firepower superiority
@@Rachotilko The reserves were meant to improve the life of ordinary people, yep I can see how that is going.
You think it is acceptable to send your population in to the meat grinder for the glory and ego of a decrepit second rare KGB thug turned dictator?
@@tesha199 So what are the numbers?!

If there's any one person in Russian history that personifies the concept of karma, it's Nikolai Yezhov. During the thirties he was the head of the NKVD, he had his predecessor (Yagoda) tortured and killed. His successor (Beria) had him tortured and killed.

First, I wanna thank you, Konstantin, for highlighting the things inside Russia, which I would otherwise have almost no access to; at best, 1 out 10 of the information I get from you appears in the Western Press and this usually weeks after you informed me of that topic. I had so many conversations and discussions with different people about the state of Russia (with ordinary people, not that brainwashed ones that are buying the crap straight out of the Kremlin), and so many times, your footage helped me prove my stand on this topic; it lacks general recognition on the actual state of Russia, even among professionals like eastern European Experts (at least they are honest and state that at this times it is tough to get accurate information on Russia and their sources or Russian counterparts and former colleagues are afraid to communicate). You're a true enrichment to my knowledge, a knowledge that has become crucial for the outlook of a potential future escalation between Russia and the EU. Fewer people here would fall for the Kremlin lies if more people here were better informed. Thank you very much, dear friend (I am constantly thinking about how to spread your message to others) Stay as you are, if asked I would describe you as pure honesty, empathy, authenticity and loyalty and I watched almost every stream from you since Feb. 2022.
Best regards, Sven
Well said Svengraf
Hi there, Constantine. I truly appreciate what you're doing. You have my unreserved respect and admiration
I unfortunately can't afford to buy you a coffee. I am subscribed to your channel and like your videos. Thank you for your hard work.
Konstantin, as a red blooded American I really enjoy your show. I've always been fascinated with Russia due to growing up during the cold War and all. I'm really curious to get your thoughts on the various CZcams channels of Americans and other westerners moving to Russia recently and singing it's praises. Are they missing something or getting paid by the government? Cheers
I would say both, missing a brain for sure.
Yes and yes. The only Americans who move to russia go because they got in trouble here, they fell for the propaganda (aka stupid), or they're racist and don't like that America frowns on that. They can have our scum. It's a win/win.
Konstantinos, you are funny, insightful , and necessary and show us all the normality of the average citizen reacting to today’s Russia. We all let our leaders run amok. Why? Hoping for a normal Russia to emerge but I fear the money hungry , power hungry leaders do not go down easy . Have a good weekend.
Thanks for the news. Very informative and at the same time scary to see where Russia is heading. The bunker dictator needs to go ASAP if there's any hope for Russia.
Medvedev doesn't seem much better!!.. Very keen on nuclear concepts & telling people that the U.S. is going into a Civil War... looks like he has some long-term, ambitious goals, no doubt!!- :/

May we all watch the slow-motion train wreck in relative safety, gods willing...or find ourselves able to somehow nudge the global story toward progress instead of a slow descent. Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom before the progress can begin, and that seems to be where Russia is heading...but still plenty of clutching and dragging through the mud to go before it becomes apparent, or before the emperor is shown to be naked to those who are in a position to actually do something about it. We're already almost half way through 2024!...History will remember, and thanks again for all that you do.
Thank you Konstantine!
Will it falll to the 1950's level in USSR?
At this stage the question is "why are things worse than the 1950's?"
1850s?
It'll probably be worse.
@@robinkelly1770 I was born in 1950. Trust me...the 50s were crap. (Life b4 Beatles lol)❤
Crustev, I think it sounds out that way, was under Stalin and later the leader. The levels of public control are well on the way to that time period's level.
I think only religious people count on karma . Elevators - In China 2 people are required to fix elevators and provide a picture of the 2 workmen at the location. Well, the companies sent one repairman and a cardboard cut-out of a second repairman. The 'live' repairman took an unfocused pic of the 'two repairmen' as required. Finally, someone noticed the cardboard man always had a heavy coat on even when the weather was hot...... Panzina looks like a psychotic killer. Russia & China both failing at the same time but I wouldn't doubt that China will be taking a BIG bite out of Russia before this ends - Either thru an attack or a giveaway by Putin for his continued existence.
Thanks for being the only comment that I've seen that acknowledges chynah is failing in 4 dimensions. The chynah Belt Road Initiative is failing under the weight of its own unique corruption grift scam too.
It's really easy to accept your words as the plain truth.
I find that no part of your reports requires criticism.
I feel as though we have met. I sincerely wish the very
best for your family and you, and everyone in your breakfast club
Thank you for your honesty, your jokes, and of course the great work you do!
Thank you, Friend!
You words inspire me
Great new logo. Scary elevator story! Video is important as evidence. Story with video about refinery is important to war information, not covered in other media. Love those
stories about bureaucrats’ actions and advocacy that show how deep the dictator’s tentacles reach and the method for changing the whole country to suit the vertical of power. Fire in the new highrise shows impact of corruption. Very scary! Video is convincing.
What’s in it for Russia, regarding the talibans?
Pushing their drugs in other directions?
No need. Heroin has been replaced by fentanyl, so much cheaper and stronger. But to your point, yes the FSB would be delighted to push heroin into Europe and the U.S.
They're just a decade late on that. China has already done that with fentanyl, probably assisted by the Chinese government, pretending to not notice.
But that Taliban heroin does seem to find its way into Russia, which has a serious problem with addiction.

Thank you, Konstantin for this report on Russia. I trust your choices in news stories to tell. Keep up with what you're doing.
Is there another way to donate besides Patreon? I don't like the options that require me to join with pre-existing accounts.
Can't I simply send you some money through PayPal as I'm fine with your CZcams videos even with ads?
You do know Russia was supplying arms to Talaban right for the 10 years Americans were in Afghanistan.
You do know that the Americans helped the Tal.iban when they were fighting the Soviets. They started first. The Americans created a powerful O. Bin. Lad... and they financed him and gave him weapons. The Tal.iban do not need Russian weapons, the Americans left them over a billion worth of weapons when they fled after 20 years

@@5arnavi9 Yes I know was just explaining why the Talaban was in St Petersburg most likely Putin promised them Nukes now.

Everything you said is fairly accurate. The billon dollar comment is not. Check out multiple credible sources, you'll see. ✌️🫴🍁
Thank you, Konstantin. 👍
Thanks for the upload, great perspective as always
Tnx for updates👍 Have been following you for a year-ish. Widenes my horizont greatly
Are there fuel shortages at gas stations in russia yet?
I'll be moniitoring
I think that the government will do everything possible to prevent that, including trucking fuel wherever needed. I am making that guess because in every country any fuel shortage or price spike is seen as a government breakdown, or a policy failure. So today that would mean that the war is coming home to Russia and people wouldn't be able to keep pretending that all is normal.
If we do start to hear of fuel shortages, especially if it becomes a regular occurrance, that could mean that the end of the regime is getting closer. No fuel would be hard to explain in a country like Russia. That could only mean that a very deep systemic breakdown is happening.
Always fascinating news , how can a country operate like this. !
Did you see the expensive watches they are wearing those criminal Talibans
Ohh Konstantin the fire story was so depressing.
Love every part of your news selection Konstantin.
I get my dose of bang-bang education from this channel.
Welcome back..again....Your Russia news compilations are awesome. .Your insight into previous USSR is also appreciated. Made a few submarine patrols ...north of Scotland.. back in the 70s... Governments all over the world are struggling to meet the needs of its people.. A comment about $$ contributions from here...our credit cards are often compromised even at local business. Can't trust anybody anymore. Maybe u r collecting CC numbers for Rus and for China. HA. Can't imagine sending my personal info and CC numbers across the world, on purpose...Very inconvenient to have to shut down a card and wait for a new one. Here in central Florida, our family never uses a CC at fast food windows and one specific BBQ restaurant. And , one of our local Chinese food joints. Only took them less than an hour to get some bogus charges on our card. We still buy food there and they hate CASH> Cash is best! Over and out.
Thank you K for your info.
I enjoy hearing about how the war is affecting the life of the average Russian civilian. I can't believe that some people in Moscow still have no feeling of the war. Food still in supermarkets and access to internet and transport.
Love seeing you back in your videos.
Wishing you good health and happiness.
Erika ❤
Thanks, Konstantin !
Many thanks for your insights!!!
Now putin will spare window panes from the 4th floor and use elevators!
WARNING: DONT PRESS THE DOWN BUTTON!🎉🎉🎉
It's truly a shame that things have worked out like this. I was around when the ussr collapsed. We were hopeful in the USA that maybe Russia would have partnered to be a peaceful and prosperous member of the community of nations. Keep up the good fight.
Love your news updates, Konstantine.
Great show. I look forward to your podcasts.

You do good work Konstantin, keep going!
30:08 You're right... it ain't funny. At all. For the little it's worth, I feel for peeps like you, homie
