It was all so disturbingly familiar. The sight of Islamists waving automatic weapons on a stage in the Russian capital as hundreds of Muscovites looked on, first in surprise, then shock, then abject horror. Even the words of the survivors were an eery echo of the past. “I thought it was all part of the show,” one concert-goer said.
Interested to hear that Putin may have had a wobble in 2004. Although openly trying to implicate Ukraine, I'd like to know how seriously they took the intel from the US.
Hi!! Am in UA. Weekends in Kyiv. Next week in Donetsk. Tag me on whatsapp!!
Julius,
Flak jackets and helmets aside, please stay safe. What you do in the wilds of Canada is just as important as what you do for the citizens of Kyiv.
God speed
An interesting piece as usual Julius, thank you.
I hope you and Kim keep safe and I hope your documentary premiere is well received by all parties.

Stay safe on your trip!
A good reminder as to patterns in history. Hope you can get back to the Canadian mountains to drink up peace after your Ukraine trip. Thank you.
