This channel is an island of brilliance in the vast ocean of YouTube misinformation and sensationalist bullshit. You even add so much info/context to videos like this one that were already solid. Thank you for being so incredible at what you do!

As someone who grew up in Siberia and whose father didn't get to work in Chernobyl only because he was not sufficiently connected (some of his classmates did instead) may I say - there are quite a few much worse outcomes than getting put on the first Siberia-bound train...

Being put on the fast train going east to Siberia was, in retrospect, the best course of action for T. Folse.

Comrade Folse is going to Siberia for caring about his safety and the safety of his fellow man.
