Are we to conclude that these pre-payments ($30-50K) for very dangerous military service will have to continue to continue the war? If Russia's energy export income were to be cut off, would there still be $25B per year the Kremlin and Oblasts have for buying up more men? Also, why don't Ukrainians incent these poor schlubs, the 1st day on the front line, to surrender in exchange for a one-time-only $25K reward? The West can afford to "outbid" Russia, save these men's lives, and effectively stop the war. Where is the strategic counter-thinking in the West to buy victory in this way for Ukraine? This stream has raised this question for me.

Im so g;ladto see you again!

Perhaps in the best of all worlds Russia would have a leadership that will combine, Nelson Mandela and his Truth and reconciliation commission. And once that was over to an authoritarian like Lee Kuan yew did in Singapore, where he raised wages to be the equivalent of even better the Private industry and was willing to punish the few transgressors as an example of what not to do, the final outcome was Singapore has one of the best economies it's honest it's fair and it worked, it was one of the rare cases of a benevolent dictator and eventually it's open honest and Democratic. Dad said no system is perfect however this may be the closest they got so far. It's a dream, but we had an old saying in Canada we may be lying in the gutter but our eyes are all the stars. Scientia Non Domus Habet, (Knowledge Has No Home) antiguajohn PS, I have enjoyed your very informative program and I was considering emailing your Pina colada from here on the beach watching the sun going down.,., Unfortunately for some odd reason that has been disabled in this planet 🥴 Work perfectly well on Star Trek 😁 Keep joking and laughing it lowers stress it's a matter of fact during its long history Russia persist an incredible sense of humor. Best wishes

Shortage of potatoes because Russia is now no. 1 exporter of wheat in the world now. Putin getting money by selling wheat, potatoes do not generate billions of dollars like wheat.

Why do they waste money on piping hot water everywhere? Surely more efficient to just heat the houses using electricity to each well insulated house. Why waste money and energy heating the ground with pipes? Are Russians unable to handle cold ground??

@Insiderussia thanks for the videos, but something is wrong with the microphone. Weird high pitches

Thanks Konstantin, outstanding work, stay well, I wish you and yours all the best.

You are so good at educating me. The best. 👍👏🙏

Sadly i think Putin also see's his country going to shit, and secretly his grip on it, but according to this self justified terrorist it is inconceivable to him that his special opperation to denatzify Ukraine just didn't know when to call it a day and turn around and go home. This guy is indeed crazy, and a sore loser. He will drop the bomb because if he can't have it his way and as he said, whats the purpose of a world if there is no Russia. Sadly he can not see a Russia without him in it. All this is completly his fault, and we are letting him get away with it?.

I hope you have left Russia already.

Why don’t the Russian diaspora protest the actions of Putin? Where in the world was there some displays of discontent and anger against this war ? Can you find anything?

Thank you Konstantin, i look forward to your news. Keep up the good work, we do appreciate it.

A lawyer in the US here brought a lawsuit against Costco because their ingredients on the butter didnt list milk, because milk is an allergy for some, all several thousand pounds or tons of Kirkland butter were "recalled". But I believe it was redirected to another location.

One sane voice.

Holodomor - 10 million Holocaust - 6 million Holland grain quotas - priceless

Taking it to gift Kim Jong Un.

That money corrupts souls of the wives and mothers. I don't even want think of these abominations.

I love & appreciate your bravery & speaking out against Russian politics and Putin

People won't starve without potatoes but they will be malnourished on a staple of just bread with no beans or vegetables.

Constantin, why are you de-monetised, you don't show any war footage or violence. Or could anybody else tell me.

I specifically like your news topic of what is going on within the Russian Government

Elon musk be a great president

It’s really painful to watch, you are a good man. I just hope many more Russians will eventually think more like you. Don’t loose hope ❤

In the end there will be two exchange rates for ruble. As it was in USSR. I remember 1984, when visiting Russia. The official rate was something but in black market it was for time of that (if I remember fight)

I remember and often quote your phrase 'there is no absurdity that cannot be realised in Russia today' 😊

Thanks for today update.

Guys remember those ads about Europeans needing horses after they cut back on Russian oil purchases.

Man I'm terribly sorry this happened to your country (Edit - it happened to all of us, it pains even us in the West, it consumes everyone)that you were unfortunate enough to have putin as a leader apparently for life, only 2 things that might stop this war and thats if God himself decides to stop putin or no.2 which looks less likely is enough of the west and European countries get the balls to all band together and give putin a demand to immediately stop the war and pull completely out of Ukraine

I've driven a 20 year old car, i've not ridden a 20 year old horse.

Did every smart Russian already left Russia? Sutch a great, vast country decided to torn into pieces over what? No, not over Russian speaking minority, just one person idea of great Russia. Ukraine is not only a bread basket it holds LITHIUM and other resources that Putin claim is hers

Let's face it Rusdia has been a Cancer forever. It has always treated its people like Animals .

News about buying horses and stockpiling fire wood intrigued me. Thank you for your news articles.

I ❤ the news! Power struggle, sentiment of the people and economy.

I’m pretty sure that this digital distopia that you’re predicting for the Russian Federation is going to be copied by the next US regime. Dugin/Bannon/project 2025 they’re all part of the same projection/plan.

Don't overdo work Constantine. 🇬🇧👍

Mad circus indeed....

Russian men are like devils therefore nobody wants them back

CORRECTIONS: Worst week thus far!!!

I think the most interesting to me was your comment about the true cost of this war compared to what other uses this money could have been applied to - education, infrastructure, medical institutions, etc. That comparison really brings home the enormous cost of this war - the death of the future. That will lodge deeply in my mind. Slava Ukraini. 💛💙

Damn heating water direct from a central place is so out of date. They not heard of gas boilers in the home in russia? Meanwhile here in uk thry pushing the wef net zero bollox and heat pumps and windmills.

All items are great!!

Same shit than what happened in Nazi Germany

So sad. During the Afghan war the mothers of the dead soldiers took to the streets. Where are they today?
