Local media has confirmed that “the center [of Rostov] was occupied by unidentified military forces.” It appears these unidentified but heavily armed men (who have tanks, etc.) have surrounded Russia’s Southern Military District Headquarters. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/unidentified-military-forces-enter

A video circulating on Russian social media appears to show Wagner forces surrounding Russia's Southern Military District Headquarters in Rostov. Staged? Very real and very serious? Not even a real video (it's from Call of Duty 666)? We report, you decide!

👆🏻I cannot independently verify this report, although I have seen several videos that seems to corroborate (some) of these claims. What exactly is happening right now in Russia? I DON'T KNOW, FRIENDS. But something is up. In the hours/days ahead, it's going to become very difficult to separate fact from fiction. I will do my best to relay accurate info to you, but please remember I am also human. Stay safe everyone, and if you have juicy Russia-related scoops, you know how to reach me. 🤝

According to local media "Wagner" cordoned off the following buildings in Rostov: ▪️Headquarters of the Southern Military District; ▪️Police department on Budennovsky St; ▪️Ministry of Internal Affairs building; ▪️FSB; ▪️Administration of Rostov.

It would be great if the entire alt media ecosystem could work together—regardless of our different views, opinions, or worldviews—to try to get at the Truth, who is a very fickle mistress. She’s very elusive, and annoyingly cryptic, and it’s a lot easier to figure her out when we can engage in good-faith dialogue, as part of a never-ending process to decode her innumerous riddles. Wouldn’t this be a lot more helpful and beneficial for everyone, especially our readers, viewers, listeners, etc.—people who are trying to broaden their info-horizons and figure out what the heck is going on? I would say yes, definitely. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/its-time-for-an-alt-media-reset

The pro-military hardliners at Military Review, Russia’s business press, the “normie” publications—they’re all saying basically the same thing: This is a huge problem, the government is not doing enough to solve it, and if we don’t solve it soon, there will be catastrophic consequences. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/ignoring-russias-demographic-crisis

I am very excited to share with you a conversation I had with Blaž Kavčič, co-founder of Slovenia’s Institute for National Sovereignty. Kavčič’s assessment of the situation inside Slovenia serves as an important reminder that a worldwide campaign of terror is being waged by all of our governments, against all of us. See? We’re not so different after all. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/fighting-globalisms-four-dogmas-in

Herman Gref's Sberbank and Moscow's city government have signed an agreement to cooperate "in the field of sustainable development." [Lenta.ru]

Isn’t it time we had an open, sincere dialogue about outcomes? What would victory actually look like? Let's talk, friends. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/ukraine-what-would-victory-look-like

Holy heck, what does Herman want this time? Facial recognition cameras that work even on masked proles? An untested genetic slurry? Cattle tags for tots? His own “coin”? No, he already has all those nice things. He wants something new, “for the man who has everything”—something that would definitely destroy Russia’s economy should Gref get his way again. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/friendly-banker-wants-to-crash-russias
