2024-04-21 22:51:43 +0000 UTCThank you, Jim! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I haven't decided on another Patreon tier yet because I'm still not 100% sure about the style and format of the new channel. I'd like it to be more than just a slideshow of pictures, but that would require additional time, effort, and production expenses. For example, this Patreon support is greatly aiding Paper Skies production now. Perhaps I'll start another Patreon for the new channel or introduce a dedicated tier here. Haven’t decided yet. To be honest I didn’t expect that the new channel announcement will get so much attention :).

2024-01-09 07:30:50 +0000 UTCI can tell you how excited I am to hear you’re going to be making a video discussing general topics about the Soviet system. My favorite thing about your videos is when you tie in stories from your family and early life into the history that you’re presenting. Will you be making another tier on Patreon for people to support this effort as well?

2024-01-07 01:06:23 +0000 UTCCheers to a great video to begin 2024. :) As for Putin the gravity of the situation he finds himself in will only hit him once he exits a window, soon. The sooner the better. I would be very interested to see what you do on the second channel on Russia. Topics I'd find interesting would be: The Nomenklatura; including how power and generational wealth/influence in the Soviet Union era continued in Russia after the end of that era. The strong regional differences in such a vast nation. Anything you feel is unique to Russia. And surprise me, as I have enjoyed all your videos on topics I didn't even know about before I watched them.

2024-01-05 20:14:13 +0000 UTCTo be honest, the MiG-25 video was supposed to be the very first 'Soviet' video on the channel. While working on the MiG-25 script, particularly the section discussing the alcohol carried on board the MiG-25, I found it necessary to mention another aircraft that carried even more booze—the Tupolev Tu-22. This 'brief mention' of the Tu-22 eventually evolved into a whole new video. You know the rest of the story :).
