Pseudo-history lecture

I sometimes listen to Russian radio and run it through Google translate. It's endless pseudo-philosophy that just goes on for hours and hours. Feels like it's a trope in the Russian world.

Can you share your process for doing that? I've been trying to figure out how to live (or close to live) translate TV and radio, but a lot of the tools I've come across seem to be geared towards cross-language conversations.

- Google translate app (at least in Android) has a Transcribe button after you click the microphone. It works in some languages but not all.
- TV
  For your own sanity don't watch anything other than science and tech channels and cartoons channels.
Not all of them. https://youtu.be/N9eW-QRiamA
On blackboard you can see "#no war"/"#against war".
- Yeah I'm referring to medium wave radio I can receive here in Helsinki. I don't expect licenses are granted for dissenting voices even if they exist.
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Was it actually that crazy? My fragile mind can't handle direct exposure right now, but if you've seen it I'm eager to hear about it

Yes. Putin is famous for dodging questions by rambling about random shit, but this time he really outdid himself by starting rambling not even a minute into the "interview" and going on for 2 hours straight.
- So basically it was an evil version of Harmontown
I saw a clip and it just looks and feels like Russian propaganda
- As long as you get that feeling, then no need to evaluate the content of things. We have teams of people to do that. Then they tell you what context cues to look for instead of evaluating it yourself.
Don't listen to them. First thing putin asked was "do you want a talk show or a serious conversation?" You don't need to agree with him but the whole interview was a reasonable and civilized attempt to show the russian perspective to western audiences.
- And you're just going to believe Putin at face value?
- Except for the fact that he's making a lot of shit up, I'm from eastern europe and none of his stories about Poland, Lithuania and Kievan Rus were accurate at all.
