And Russian long before that. Who is this idiot?
Lol...good question.
Brian-Michel LaRue is a French-Canadian/American journalist and political analyst, photographer, filmmaker, new media producer, visual artist, traveller, DJ, writer, and activist. I wasn't impressed until I saw he was a DJ, now I KNOW he's credible.
He also is a member of The League of Ukrainian Canadians, which is much like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, except cooler. (Here)
And he shaves his palm before taking photos of it.
