We invited Nikolay, a student and vlogger who runs the "Videos from Mariupol" YouTube channel, to discuss his experiences during the first months of the SMO, how things have changed since Mariupol became a part of Russia, and what it was like to grow up in the post-Maidan Ukraine. We discussed his personal story, his evacuation from the city and what the rebuilding process looks like... There were also a bunch of questions from our subscribers that we asked him.

A change of pace. We interviewed a French writer and translator of Russian poetry, Thierry Marignac, whose name i butchered hilariously at the start of the pod.

He translated one the greatest modern Russian poets, Boris Ryzhiy.
