Don't Command Me, Do Something For Me (Dave and Dan 'cast 04)







Yerevan and Sault Ste. Marie connected again today. I wonder, was anyone else from here talking to someone from there today?
Today Dan and I talked about the Medvedev years, and I struggled to proberly pronounce his name. Dan promises to teach me a little Russian once he is allowed to come to Canada.
We seem to have nailed down when I would leave, and it's the Georgia war.
I plugged my twitter handle, while Dan said 'please be attentive to politics' which, really, is better than me plugging my twitter handle.
I swear we're going to get a website and our own feed.
In this episode we explore further the rise of Putin and how he was viewed by the average Russian.
We alsoo continue to figure out when I would leave a country like this.
We talk generally about the incremental removal of what civil liberties and society Russia had under Putin.
Please give to organizations that will help Ukrainian refugees, including the Red Cross and the UNHCR.
No this isn't really a DaveSoloThing. However, I needed a place to put this. Also, this was not recorded in a bar. It's not a bad title though right?
We'll probably eventually go with a variation on 'My Nuremberg' which is Dan's idea.
This is a new podcast project that I will be doing with a freind Dan, a fellow PhD in psychology from Russia. He and his family are no longer in Russia (thankfully) and we decided to speak a bit about the current situation.
We urge you to give to any charities that are supporting Ukrainian Refugees, such as the UNHCR,or the Red Cross.
This is a little goodbye note to my students for this year. I am proud of you, and more importantly, you should be proud of yourselves. See you in 2022.
