The hosts ask Garry Bardin: Why was Putin able to stay in power for 25 years, while Russia failed to create a civil society What does "total freezing" mean and what is the role of the intelligentsia in all this. At the end of the podcast, Garry Bardin congratulates the listeners of "NO Media" on the New Year: "I, like Santa Claus, am against scumbags. I want our country, where winter and frost are eight months a year, to have as few scumbags as possible. I want you to, as soon as you cannot express yourself in anything else, look for joy in your home, your children, your grandchildren. Start building a civil society with your grandchildren, instill in them what you value yourself... I wish everyone good health, so that we can live to see the day when we can go out to a sanctioned rally with posters saying "Peace, peace!" I can only imagine such stupidity so that we could walk the streets of our city…” At the end of the podcast is a new cartoon by Garry Bardin, “A Cry for All Seasons,” a thousand-year history of the Jewish people in five and a half minutes.
