He's trained as an economist and was a business executive in a company that constructed power plants. His English is good because he lived in the US for 9 years. Putin's people made reporting on the economy illegal but Konstantin knows where to find the numbers and does.

His videos haven't been staying up all that long lately. He's in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and has alluded to having some problems lately, although not with the Uzbek government.

Other than that, I don't post him much because he's religious and very conservative and when he's not talking about Russia, he'd most likely offend a lot of DUers.

His channel is "Inside Russia." It's usually worth a view, he doesn't talk complete rubbish all that often.,

While I don’t buy into religion, I love to study it. Took Anthropology class in religion and loved it. Rather than calling myself an atheist, I’m more of a Secular Humanist.

The fact that Putin has been hands on from the beginning has been a big problem for the Russian forces. He has no idea how to run a war.

and have come to the conclusion that he wants 7 people in there who will rubber stamp using nukes on his own soil.

I also think that's going to be one of the toughest sells in history., so right now, it's not a major worry.
