2017 Edinburgh Fringe

Is Putin's Russia in fact a closer-than-it-looks, post-fact global future? Can it be avoided? And are we really that different? Fringe's first Russian alternative comedian, Oleg, cuts to the cheese of information politics. Come get a thought-provoking and weirdly hilarious glimpse of the world outlook from the other side of the troll-constructed wall between Russia and the West. A philosophy graduate (and delusional Russian liberal) will steer narration through the rise of authoritarianism, Russian 1990s, information processing, animal sexuality, patriotism and more. Subtle yet provocative stand-up in a structured show with a twist.
