Show Notes:This week, Matt and Cameron finish Zakhar Prilepin’s Sankya (affectionately retitled Sankya: Reeeeee), reading chapters 8-13. They’ll also be going over the ties between the messaging of the story and some of Prilepin’s real-life political engagement.Major themes: fatherlessness, arson, murderous intent, National Bolshevism.8:00 - I meant to say 2014. Please don’t come for me in the comments.13:17 - “eet eez”17:39 - Right as according to his own moral philosophy, not according to...you know, my moral standards.35:25 - “For real,” as if them committing arson at the McDonald’s wasn’t real in comparison.35:33 - United Russia being Putin’s real-life political party.45:48 - If we consider this most broadly, there are about 72 regions in Russia.Our links: ⁠⁠⁠All links⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠PATREON⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Merch⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠Socials: ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠The music used in this episode was “soviet march,” by Toasted Tomatoes.
