After we talked to Denis Lavinksi about[growing up in the White Russian/Vlasovite-inspired Russian Orthodox community in California](https://yasha.substack.com/p/white-russians-in-california-immig…, I remembered a short series that I did almost two years ago about a guy named Leonid Pylaev, a Soviet Red Army soldier who got captured during World War II and got sucked into the collaborationist Vlasovite emigre world, eventually going to work at a propaganda radio station in Germany covertly run by the CIA. [Check it out if you haven’t already](https://yasha.substack.com/p/part-one-a-portrait-of-a-soviet-cia?s…. I look at how emigre groups from the former Soviet Union were central in getting stations like Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe up and running. —Yasha Levine PS: Apparently the series I wrote got read by a bunch of people who used to work at Radio Liberty. After it came out, the widow of Oleg Tumanov — a[Soviet spy](https://www.labirint.ru/books/562080/)who apparently was sent in to penetrate Radio Liberty in Munich — got in touch with me on Facebook and, after accusing me of “libeling” Leonid Pylaev did a bit of libeling herself: She accused Pylaev of being a KGB plant. According to her, it is very likely that he never served in the Vlasov movement and she implied that he made up the whole story to penetrate the Russian emigre/exile community on behalf of his Soviet masters, I guess like her former husband. Not sure if she’s right or wrong, but it gives you a glimpse into the paranoid, spook-infested world of anti-communists in exile. -Yasha Levine

Web3 is the broad category for the next generation of the internet, which proponents think will be undergirded by blockchain networks and facilitated by cryptocurrencies. The idea is that, whereas the first stage of the internet allowed people to access information and the second allowed them to interact with others, the third stage will decentralize the internet so that it is user-controlled. https://decrypt.co/95715/andreessen-horowitz-vet-katie-haun-raises-billion-… Welcome to the world-wide anarchist revolution!

Manafort has decades–long criminal financial ties to Russian oligarchs, and to the puppet regime that Vladimir Putin once set up in Ukraine. We’ve already seen the DOJ reactivate the Trump-era criminal probe against Rudy Giuliani So the walls are closing in at Camp Dumbfuck - better call Paul

Scientists are tantalizingly close to cracking any ancient texts wide open
by jim bell 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

https://www.inverse.com/science/ai-code-break "It is one of the seminal texts of world literature — and an exceedingly rare example of an ancient written story that made it to modern times. The reason why is not to do with production: Many ancient peoples were just as interested in documenting their histories as modern humans (although perhaps not to the extent of the Twitterati). Yet cracking the few, often fragmented pieces of writing we have left from the ancient world is difficult — especially in places devastated by colonialism." "In Odysseus’s time, many people wrote on papyrus, but some would also directly inscribe messages onto metal, stone, and pottery. These engraved texts are technically called inscriptions. As with much of ancient literature, we only have fragments of some inscriptions — many are lost to wear and tear." "But Odysseus’ Ithaca now lends its name a neural network — essentially a kind of algorithm — that has one purpose: To restore ancient, fragmented inscriptions, and then read them. In a new paper published last week in the journal Nature, the scientists behind the AI reveal how it works to crack archaic codes."

thanks prof rat I might have gotten targeted badly because I noticed and tried to act on crimea-related information warfare in 2014 just one piece of a big puzzle I get to cobble together until we have access to facebook's records, or public reconciliation I was being influenced already for donatring heavily to and trying to defend environmental activists targeted with spyware. my social networks seemed maybe to be trying to goad me to commit crimes, a common cointelpro thing. so now I imagine a military corp with russia and energy corps as clients. dunno.

The Kremlin now using Roger Stone in its official propaganda. If you’re not familiar with Stone, he’s Trump advisor who had dinner with Nigel Farage in July 2016 when he was trying to find go-between with Assange in London to coordinate release of Hillary’s Russian-hacked emails https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/1506424310080102411
