    in Russian "bandook" means racketeer, mugger, hooligan, etc. Basically a criminal prone to violent crimes.
    Would be written as "бандюк"

      You appear to be a user of psychedelic drugs, basing this off of the mocking clown avatar (which is a common DMT entity) and synth being in your name.
      If this is the case, I experienced something similar with a music video the first time I saw it. It was unmistakable that I had not seen it, yet because I was on LSD I had the most potent deja vu I have ever experienced while watching it, and I also because I felt had seen it before, I thought the video was designed to look like things look to someone on LSD. Then when I watched it the second time, it was not like I remembered.
      You may have triggered something similar by having used psychedelics recently, basically a feeling of deja vu.

      This happens not only to some drug users. You might have watched a different presentation on cybersecurity or ransomware attacks (could be TEDx or the same Darknet Diaries. It has similar vibe and memory is not reliable. Yeah, i do dope periodically..

    It is still fascinating to me how Americans laugh at Russia when they talk about freedom. I guess it's a remnant of the Cold War, but they don't seem to realize that the "land of the free" is just a brand, and that the USA today doesn't even rank in the top 10 among countries that can be considered free at all, in fact, it's right up there with Russia. Here are the first 10 (Switzerland, New Zealand, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Luxembourg ) ... Yes, there is at least one hacker who had to flee the USA and seek asylum in Russia.
