I sometimes listen to Russian radio and run it through Google translate. It’s endless pseudo-philosophy that just goes on for hours and hours. Feels like it’s a trope in the Russian world.
Can you share your process for doing that? I’ve been trying to figure out how to live (or close to live) translate TV and radio, but a lot of the tools I’ve come across seem to be geared towards cross-language conversations.
Google translate app (at least in Android) has a Transcribe button after you click the microphone. It works in some languages but not all.
TV
For your own sanity don’t watch anything other than science and tech channels and cartoons channels.
Not all of them. https://youtu.be/N9eW-QRiamA
On blackboard you can see “#no war”/“#against war”.
Yeah I’m referring to medium wave radio I can receive here in Helsinki. I don’t expect licenses are granted for dissenting voices even if they exist.
It had license until 2022. But its editor is known for pushing and protecting Moscow’s ДЭГ where protocols are made up by Sobyanin.
Don’t know what you can receive in Helsinki. Probably something from SPb.

Was it actually that crazy? My fragile mind can’t handle direct exposure right now, but if you’ve seen it I’m eager to hear about it
Yes. Putin is famous for dodging questions by rambling about random shit, but this time he really outdid himself by starting rambling not even a minute into the “interview” and going on for 2 hours straight.
So basically it was an evil version of Harmontown
I saw a clip and it just looks and feels like Russian propaganda
As long as you get that feeling, then no need to evaluate the content of things. We have teams of people to do that. Then they tell you what context cues to look for instead of evaluating it yourself.
What else would it be? Why the fuck would Putin sit down with anyone in an interview if not to propagandise?
To feel like an important political figure?
This whole set up looked like a vanity show, tbh
Don’t listen to them. First thing putin asked was “do you want a talk show or a serious conversation?” You don’t need to agree with him but the whole interview was a reasonable and civilized attempt to show the russian perspective to western audiences.
And you’re just going to believe Putin at face value?
I believe that he believes in what he’s saying. He’s been talking and writing articles about this for years. He’s that out of touch with reality. Remember, he doesn’t even use internet.
I’m gonna listen to what he has to say and make up my mind.
What he has to say is that Ukraine should be destroyed and ethnically cleansed. Why on earth would you want to hear more of what he has to say?

You accuse someone of all sorts of things, and never give them a fair chance to defend themselves through dialog. Tell me again how this is a fair aproach. Sounds like you just want to shut down someone for fear of them being right and you wrong.
Putin is the invader if he leaves the war ends. What more do you need to hear from the guy
Except for the fact that he’s making a lot of shit up, I’m from eastern europe and none of his stories about Poland, Lithuania and Kievan Rus were accurate at all.
Even if they were true, his point is that “we used to own Ukraine so we’re going to kill people until we do again”
You know, like fascists do.

Also Wonder if he lost a word about the Kievan Rus’ which would give Ukraine a stronger claim on russian territory than what Russia claims for Ukraine belonging to it. Not that you should go there but that whole line of arguing doesn’t even work for itself
Of course he did not. That’s why they removed the word Kievan from that term in History textbooks, it’s now just Rus, no Kiev

But did they ask him how to patch KDE2 under FreeBSD? https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/how-does-one-patch-kde2-under-freebsd
Is it anime chat?
Love how the Russian is white and blonde while the American looks like orange man with Hispanic hair 😂
Hispanic hair

Very different use of busting from my perspective.
You can easily make this about NK.
