Alex and Jay both lost some of their equipment since we last spoke. Gear is very precious in a war zone, and we thought we'd support our friends by doing a little fundraiser for them so they can get some new mostly peaceful stuff. Please consider sending some of your crypto to the wallets below, dear whales and HODLers. 100% of the money will be sent to Alex and Jay and of course we'll show you the receipts.

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.

The Central Asian front of the Russian Civil War is seldom talked about — it was remote and chaotic, the wild Russian frontier, full of its own "Cowboys and Indians". Today's Radio Deza features a Bolshevik General switching sides, a prodigal Romanov prince, a suicidal battle in the mountains and tales of lost treasure... It's 1919, and we're going to the Fergana Valley. Join us!
