bl is a Letter: Dark Russian Folklore

In English-speaking media Russians are often portrayed as evil, menacing, or obscure. While this podcast doesn’t approve of violence or hate of any kind, it is a tool for those who aim to create evil, menacing, or obscure content.


You want to add Russian lore to your story? Go for it. Just make it legitimate.

We are here to help with that.
