Moving past regular news cycles, we sit down for a deep, philosophical, and deeply personal conversation about the global information shift and the decaying trust in our media institutions. Konstantin shares powerful personal insights into what it's like to grow up inside a state-controlled information system. He opens up about the exact moment he realized as a child, that the narrative he was being fed didn't match reality, and how events like the response to the Chernobyl disaster cemented that understanding. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-collators-7459521/episodes/propaganda-interview-with-konstantin-samoilov/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-collators-7459521/propaganda-interview-with-konstantin-samoilov.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
