How To Read Yuri's Top 10 Posts and Ask Me Anything
Celebrating 5,000 subscribers with a compilation of my most popular posts, removing paywalls from 2 fan favorites, and an invitation to syndicate or submit questions for a reader mailbag
Comrades: Thank you for helping this samizdat reach 5,000 subscribers! We are still growing 10x year over year.
Since many of you joined over the past month through notes, I have compiled the Top 10 most popular posts in this edition. As a bonus, I have removed paywalls from 2 fan favorites at the bottom - 94% of paid subscribers deemed last week’s fiction debut worthy of your eyes. There are also 2 playlists that pair well with the readings for your ears.
I am open to syndication opportunities, so I have changed the titles of a few posts away from the “How To” format. If you’d like to ask me a question and/or syndicate my writing, please submit it in the comments or e-mail yuribezmenov22 [at] protonmail. I will publish answers next week.
What is your favorite post and why? I will continue to post the spiciest unreported angles from deep inside the bowels of our rotten institutions. If you enjoy my work, I would be grateful for any upgrades from comrade to commissar:

How To Make Substack the Greatest Subscription Network of All Time
To the brilliant humans who built and run Substack: Hold the line. Protect free speech. Empower creators. Subvert subversion. What you have accomplished so far is a shining light in the demoralized darkness of modern discourse. What you can still achieve would be
Escape from New York: 2023 - How a Decade of Progressive Demoralization Destroyed NYC
Comrades: I am getting out of the city. Next month, I will be moving away from the Karenland FUPAZ (Federation of Urban Progressive Autonomous Zone) that I have called home for my entire adult life. Let me start with the positives before diving into the demoralization.
The Most Embarrassing Venture Capital Write-Down of All Time: How Sequoia lost $214M on FTX and Did Not Hold Anyone Accountable
Comrades: The collapse of FTX makes Theranos look like child’s play. I have seen many cringeworthy episodes in clown world, but it’s hard to top this one which is why burnt the midnight oil for this bonus post. Instead of wasting money on business rags who get conned, please consider a paid subscription here.
How To Get Into Harvard - The 2022 Demoralized DIEvy League Rankings
Comrades: Welcome to a special Sunday edition of How To with Yuri Bezmenov. This will be my longest and spiciest post yet, so buckle up boys and girls. Professor Bezmenov is taking our top schools to school. Are you looking to light $300,000 on fire? Do you want to crush your child's sense of joy and intellectual curiosity with crippling debt? Would you…
How To Execute a Color Revolution and Implement Regime Change
Comrades: The Swamp is simultaneously pushing a domestic cultural revolution and color revolutions abroad with our tax dollars. GAE CIA operatives have been interfering in foreign countries for decades on the Devil’s Chessboard, leading to endless wars
How To Homeschool your Kids - The Yuri Homeschool Curriculum
Comrades: Homeschooling is the future of education. As I detailed on Monday, public schools have devolved into babysitting by groomers. Non-parochial private schools are no better, charging upwards of $50K/year for the same indoctrination. Every day, a Democrat teachers union thug is arrested for grooming a student.
The Current Thing Company raises funding to help consoomers stay up to date on virtue signal gear
Comrades: I have launched a new startup - The Current Thing Company! My pitch to Shark Tank is below. All new paid subscriptions will go towards building this company and put you at the front of the waitlist; you can also send funds via Cash App to @yuribezmenov22.
How To Counter the Cultural Revolution: An essay about my family's full circle journey from madness in China to the US
Comrades: We are countering the American Cultural Revolution. Several of my posts have drawn parallels between the modern woke revolution and the Chinese Cultural Revolution. How To Live the Dream was an interview with my father, who grew up during the latter.
How To Celebrate Easter
Comrades: He is risen. Recent posts have been heavy and the Substack/Twitter chaos continues, so on Easter I’d like to give y’all a white pill. I shared the story below during Christmas and am reposting it, accompanied by new videos, art, and memes. Whether you celebrate Easter or not, I wish you and your families all the best on this holy day.
Remembering Pat Tillman: An American Patriot, NFL Player, and Army Ranger whose Friendly Fire Death was Turned into War Propaganda
Comrades: Pat Tillman’s life was as much a white pill and as his death was a black pill. Few people are true heroes and role models. Pat Tillman stands as one of the giants in post-9/11 America. In How To Be a Heroic Hotshot, I honored his fellow Arizonans - the Granite Mountain firefighters who perished saving lives in 2013. Today we honor his story. At…
How To Boost your ESG Score (QUIZ + CONTEST)
Comrade: ESG is a demoralized social credit system. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Each pillar has nothing to do with the other, but they are bundled together to advance The Great Reset: GAE/WEF/CCP “private public partnership” fascism
Three-letter disasters: How ESG and DEI destroyed SVB and capitalism as we know it
Comrades: How did SVB go bankrupt? Slowly through cringe, then all at once through memes. In Part 1 of How To Flex on LinkedIn, I provided tips on making your profile shine and spotting red flags. In How To Build a Killer Business (Part 3), I predicted several high profile startups would fail during this downturn. I could never have imagined that the cou…
How To Fire a Commissar (Part 2)
Comrades: Administrative bloat in education and healthcare is the real pandemic. In How To Hire/Fire a Commissar, I profiled identarian commissars at RISD and University Hospital. What happens when our institutions become filled with useless and oftentimes toxic administrators? Our country gets dumber and less healthy, Idiocracy style. We need to do to …

Start with WHY:
WHY I Write "How To Subvert Subversion with Yuri Bezmenov"
Comrades: All ~100 of my posts have started with “How To”. Today I start with “Why”. During a meetup, a reader asked me why I publish this samizdat. The short answer is because it’s a fun exercise of free speech. I hope Substack will continue to protect free speech and empower writers. The long answer contains many reasons, so I shall bare my soul below.
Honoring the real Yuri:
How To Reason with a Demoralized Person
Comrades: Yuri Bezmenov passed away 30 years ago on January 5, 1993 at the age of 53. If he were alive today, he would have marveled that everything he predicted came true. He tried to warn us. All honor to his name. Today is also my first anniversary on Substack. To mark this occasion, I am changing the title from “How To with Yuri Bezmenov” to
By popular request, I have removed paywalls from the following 2 posts:
Struggle Session: A podcast with my father about his experiences growing up during the Chinese Cultural Revolution
Listen now (51 min) | Comrades: My father Yuri Sr. escaped the tyranny of Communism and the Chinese Cultural Revolution. In Part 1 of How To Live the Dream, I published a written interview with him about his childhood during the cultural revolution and transition to freedom in the USA. Many of you requested more content with him - you ask, Yuri delivers. In today’s podcast, we go deeper into those stories accompanied by treasured family photos. We laughed, we cried, we ripped on Communists. Hope you can join the fun!
Sex Diary: A PMC (Professional Managerial Class) NPC (Non Player Character) scheduling sex with his partner while getting off on moral superiority
Comrades: I have written all 100+ of this Substack’s posts from my own perspective on nonfiction events. Today, I shall publish a the first-ever fiction from a satirical first-person perspective. During the short period I was single in my 20s and read normie magazines, I found New York Magazine’s sex diaries entertaining. They would publish an anonymous person’s anticipation of and participation in sexual activity over the course of a week.

How To Make a Golden Age Mixtape
Comrades: Thank you for a fantastic first month on Substack. I appreciate all your e-props, comments, and private feedback on this samizdat. Please do share with other comrades. If I maintain this rate of Dunbar’s number new subscribers per month, I will top CNN by the end of the year! We should also be grateful for Substack’s continuing
How To Stay Classy
Comrades: Truth and beauty are universal. My parents played classical music for me as a child. Now I am overjoyed to share it with my daughter. The pieces compiled below are, in my humble opinion, the best performances of the best classical music pieces. A YouTube commenter noted:
Congratulations on reaching a well-deserved milestone, my comrade-in-words! ✊
As these individuals have proven to be disruptive and dangerous, it is necessary for us as a society to find a way to remove their legal protections. According to French sociologist Alain Ehrenberg's recent works, neoliberalism has shifted many personal responsibilities to individuals, but the State still has a crucial duty to protect its citizens. Although Thatcher and Reagan partially reverted to pre-New Deal policies, any Western government that neglects its sovereign obligations risks inciting a significant revolt. - Luc
PS: I would suggest reading "The right of all to punish," of the late Robert Nozick's 1974 book, "Arnarchy, State, and Utopia."
