Hello GenZedong, I’m a Russian that’s been a lurking on Reddit for some time, but never actually posted anything (I don’t really even have a Reddit account). So when r/Russia and then r/GenZedong were quarantined, all I could see on Reddit was a copious amount of (very unjustified, imo) vitriol aimed at my country. The reason I’m here is because the prospect of WW3 doesn’t sit well with me, but the things I keep seeing online give me this sinking feeling that the West of 2022 is oddly similar to the Germany of 1933. And I don’t know how to break this trend: I don’t have any social media or any kind of outreach to a person on “the other side of the iron curtain,” so to speak.

Anyway, to the point of the post: there’s a whole bunch of primary source info on various telegram channels out there that are largely unavailable to the Western audience due to the language barrier. And I’d like to help remove that barrier; I’m fluent in both Russian and English (and might be able to pick out some Ukrainian, mileage may vary), so if you have any videos, pictures, or anything else pertaining to the conflict that you need translated, contact me (I’ll try to figure out how this site works).

I also have a couple of sources that I use to check on this conflict, but I’m not sure if posting them here will count as advertisement, so I’ll hold off posting them until I know the rules better.

TLDR: Send me things that you want translated from Russian into English
