You're doing a great job, Patrick. We need to hear from the people there. I feel so badly that Ukr. brought Kursk I to the region.

Great interview! Patrick's questions were simple and in simple English, which was easy to understand. The captions were a good idea.

I went to Fairleigh Dickinson College in New Jersey 50 years ago. How odd that this man from Kursk went there.

I think you need to eventually compile a book - it would be an important historical reference for future generations.

“Freedom consists, first of all, in not lying. Wherever lies proliferate, tyranny is announced or perpetuated.” - Albert Camus

The “technique” of cancellation serves to pave the way for lies. Have the leaders of our “democracies” found the way to perpetuate themselves in deception?

I know you are an optimist because if not, you would not be there, “alone.” I believe that the only solution is the same as the Zapatista one for the agrarian reforms in many countries during the early twentieth century: “The land for the one who works it.”

My ideology, if I have one, is anarcho-syndicalist. I am sure it would not be perfect, of course. But in the case of your union, I see it very clearly. The information cannot have any monetary or state bias, nor oligopolistic or monopolistic.

I wish you much encouragement, strength and good fortune, Patrick!!

So true what this gentleman says, that the common people of the US and Russia are not enemies. It's a tragedy that so many are dying for no purpose.

Patrick my brother , please let the soldiers you meet that there is people like me that want them to know I am ashamed of my government and country for the crimes they commit on a hourly fashion , tell them that if I could I would be there volunteering. America is a shitshow and we as Americans are paying a dear price and not even rewarded with a thanx .

I pray I can migrate to the motherland and get my Russian daughter there to be where she needs to be . With grandma . Stay safe brother and keep the good word .
