Interviewing Mikhail Svetov on the Russian Right & West — Timestamps
0:00 Intro / stream goes live
2:49 Why Svetov is exiled in Brazil — criminal investigation for singing a Ukrainian parody song
5:52 The real reason: organizing 40,000–60,000 person anti-censorship rallies in Putin's Russia

19:47 Marine Le Pen banned from elections, Tommy Robinson as a Russian-style dissident in the UK

they've never met one"

01:00:06 Milei and Trump are NOT transformational — they play by the old rules and changed nothing systemically
01:10:14 Ukraine war: even annexing territory is a "Pyrrhic victory" — Putin destroyed what he claimed to protect
01:31:27 Why the Russian right mixes Tsarist + Soviet identity: two civic identities collapsed, they're just picking
up pieces
01:40:40 Looksmaxxing is "pretty faggish" — what women actually find attractive in men (Clavicular debate starts)
01:43:38 Clavicular: "sweet-looking for a [expletive]" — charisma matters more than the nose job
