Ok Saturday I went to the K-41 nightclub in Kyiv. It's similar to Berghain, with a bouncer girl at the door who rejects you if you aren't the right "vibe". They're kinda woke, and insist you agree to their non-discrimination policy, no cameras, lots of trans people, etc. etc. If the music wasn't good I certainly wouldn't go.

The entrance fee is a minimum $10 donation to a military unit to buy drones. Turns out the left aren't stupid when evil men really are trying to murder them.

K-41 probably gets 1000 attendees on a Saturday night. That means ~$10,000 to the military unit, or ~10 casualties at $1000 marginal cost/casualty. Fatality rate is ~50%, so that's five more Russian soldiers killed in the course of us having a party.

Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if 10% of the men there had actual combat experience at this point. There was even one guy clearly recovering from combat injuries. No-one is complaining about where the money was going.

Interesting stuff, I follow the Ukraine war but actually talking the time to go there is the next level.

What would you recommend to visit if you only want to understand the practicalities of living in a country at war?
