He has one of the most interesting life stories I've ever listened to. He's lived in Chile, germany, russia, mozambique, ukraine and now the United States. Christian also holds a master's degree in economics from Rudin in Moscow, russia. He speaks Russian, spanish, portuguese and, obviously, english. He grew up in Russia and, as I mentioned, lived in various countries, growing up in Russia and in other countries.

Christian has a very interesting perspective. Christian is situated very well to talk about a number of things, including cultural as well as economic Marxism, something that he knows quite a bit about. He also was, and continues to be, a recording artist. He was very popular in the Soviet blocs and his music was even used in Boris Yeltsin's campaigns. We mainly address cultural dynamics in the United States, the West, as well as a certain kind of prophylaxis that Christian believes the United States has against Marxism.
