Osipovgrad Report- Slavic Union honors Nikifor Osipov

Osipovgrad- April 18 2021 marks the 68th anniversary of the death of Nikifor Osipov, the first Vozhd of the Slavic Union and a man who is universally regarded throughout the nation as a hero. Flags have been lowered to half mast throughout the nation and memorials have been dedicated to him.

The state department also released a transcript from a 1953 interview with Adrian Kollerov, host of the Slavic Unions first ever talk show, ‘The Adrian Kollerov Show’. The interview was taken mere hours before Osipovs death at the age of 75. The transcript can be found below.

The following is a transcript from a 1953 episode of ‘The Adrian Kollerov Show’, where Kollerov interviewed then Vozhd Nikifor Osipov
Date: 04/18/53

Kollerov: My next guess needs no introduction, but he sure deserves one, I’d like to welcome the savior of the Slavic Union, the Great Bear, Nikifor Osipov!

Osipov walks onstage while the audience claps, Osipov has a very noticeable limp and breaks into a coughing fit once he sits down

Osipov: My apologies Kollerov, I think I might’ve caught something recently

Kollerov: No need to apologize your excellency, you’re a Slavic Hero

Osipov: Maybe so, but past conduct is not an excuse for weakness. Let’s get on with the interview shall we?

Kollerov: Certainly, now for my first question I’d like to ask if you are worried that the civil conflicts in Gladysynthia could result in border skirmishes, especially as more and more soldiers return home following their recent withdrawal from the World War?

Osipov scoffs

Osipov: You have the audacity to think I fear some two-bit nation that we already beat back 1400 years ago?

Kollerov: No of course not, it’s just-

Osipov: No, no, I’m sorry, my temper has been short lately. It’s a good question. It’s certainly a possibility, but the Slavic military is prepared, as it always is, to deal with any foreign threat. If our borders are breached by any foreign nation there will be grave consequences.

Kollerov: Now I’d like to ask for your general thoughts on the World War

Osipov: It’s a silly conflict, one which the Union is better off being out of, we have made great profits from selling equipment to both sides though. So I guess their foolishness is to our benefit.

Kollerov: It certainly seems to be sir, now what do you say to those calling for a Slavic intervention in the Gladsynthian Civil War

Osipov: Slavic blood is not to be spilled in foreign conflicts, there is little benefit to interference. We will not send troops or aid to any side in the war, Gladsynthia has always been a weak nation that thought itself far too highly, this ought to knock them down a peg.

Kollerov: Now-

Osipov breaks down into a coughing fit[

Osipov: I’m sorry, I think we’ll have to cut this short, I need to get some work done tonight. I need a glass of water, or a cigar.

Osipov gets up and leaves before Kollerov can say anything else
