Join us for a special emergency session of the EHM BS debunking council as we break-down Alexey Kovalev's investigation into one of the most hilarious Russian media hoaxes in years: a New York cantina serving a 68 ounce burger called the Putinburger in honor of President Vladimir Putin's 65th birthday. Also the debut of our rocking new theme song Zaderzhite Poyezd (Hold the Train) by Soviet 80s metal band Korroziya Metalla

There’s a particular rhythm to life in Russia that often gets lost in the headlines, a daily reality shaped by politics, culture, and the tensions in between. Everyone Hates Moscow digs into that rhythm, offering a ground-level view that goes beyond the usual news cycle.

You’ll hear about the forces shaping Russian society, from cultural trends and historical echoes to the latest Kremlin decisions, all discussed with a clarity that comes from firsthand experience.
