Investigation: Unmasking the anonymous hosts of 'Russians With Attitude,' a pro-war podcast popular with US far right

Editor’s note: This story is a collaboration between the Kyiv Independent and TUA Research, an independent OSINT group. It's not uncommon for artillery soldiers to write messages on shells before firing them — for the sake of posting them online. They can be vengeful or mocking. But one signed shell that Russians fired around August 2024 stood out as unusual. It promoted a podcast. "Subscribe to 'Russians With Attitude'," read the message, scribbled across the shell. Launched in 2020, "Russi

📖 Charismatic Nations: A Cultural History of Nationalism in Europe from 1800 to the Present

"This pioneering cultural history shows how artists and intellectuals since the days of Napoleon have celebrated and taken inspiration from an idealized nationality, and how this in turn has informed and influenced social and political nationalism."

A quotation from Orwell

A nationalist is one who thinks solely, or mainly, in terms of competitive prestige. He may be a positive or a negative nationalist — that is, he may use his mental energy either in boosting or in denigrating — but at any rate his thoughts always turn on victories, defeats, triumphs and humiliations. He sees history, especially contemporary history, as the endless rise and decline of great power units, and every event that happens seems to him a demonstration that his own side is on the upgrade and some hated rival is on the downgrade.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

Jag inte tror svensk #nationalism historiskt alltid har varit så som jag beskriver - utan detta mynnar ur vår tids uppfostran och tolkning av den del av historien vi får lära oss om

The #FalklandsWar began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1982 with occupation of #SouthGeorgia. #Argentina's dictatorship, deeply unpopular, stoked #nationalism to stay in power. #Thatcher, also unpopular (16% approval in '81) did the same. 649 Argentine & 258 British lives were the cost.
