Dasha Nekrasova

Dasha Nekrasova (@dash_eats) of the Red Scare podcast amplified Bitcoin Obama's videos and songs for her $dasha coin in September 2026, the start of his “Hebrew Obama” era. Her “Thank you for fw the vision Hebrew Bitcoin Obama” is one of the best-known posts about him.

Background

Dasha Nekrasova (born February 19, 1991) is a Belarusian-born American actress, filmmaker and podcaster.[1] She was born in Minsk, then in the Byelorussian SSR of the Soviet Union.[1] Her father was an acrobat and her mother a rhythmic gymnast; the family emigrated to Las Vegas in the 1990s, when she was four.[2][3] She went to a magnet school for visual art, the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, then studied sociology and 19th-century German philosophy at Mills College, a women's college in Oakland, graduating in 2012.[2][1] She later moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.[2]

Red Scare

Nekrasova co-hosts Red Scare, a cultural commentary podcast, with the writer and art critic Anna Khachiyan. The two met on Twitter and released the first episode on March 29, 2018, after Nekrasova moved from Los Angeles to New York City.[3] The show bills its hosts as “bohemian layabouts” and is recorded from their homes in Lower Manhattan. Episodes typically run 50 to 90 minutes and mix comedy with criticism of neoliberalism and feminism; the theme song is t.A.T.u.'s “All the Things She Said”.[3] The Cut called it “a critique of feminism, and capitalism, from deep inside the culture they've spawned”.[4]

Red Scare was first associated with the “dirtbag left” and Bernie Sanders supporters, and has since become associated with the new right; its guests have come from across the political spectrum.[3] Free episodes are released on podcast platforms, while Patreon subscribers paying at least $5 a month get premium bonus episodes.[3][5]

The hosts also perform live shows, including at Union Hall and The Bell House in Brooklyn and at The Greene Space at WNYC.[3] Nekrasova has said the live shows are “more of a talk show format than a ‘live podcast.’”[2]

Notable interviews and moments

In March 2018, while promoting Wobble Palace at South by Southwest in Austin, Nekrasova was approached by an InfoWars reporter. Wearing a sailor-style outfit likened to Sailor Moon, she defended Bernie Sanders with lines such as “I just want people to have free healthcare, honey” and “You people have, like, worms in your brains, honestly”. The clip went viral and earned her the nickname “Sailor Socialism”.[6][7] John Oliver used it on Last Week Tonight.[7] She later said, “I was so scared I was trembling. The nonchalance was really a defense mechanism.”[2]

Red Scare guests have included Steve Bannon (April 2020), Slavoj Žižek (October 2020), Alex Jones (November 2021) and Tucker Carlson (August 2024), as well as Tulsi Gabbard, Glenn Greenwald, Curtis Yarvin and Michel Houellebecq.[3] A 2019 live taping at The Bell House featured the influencer Caroline Calloway.[8][9]

In October 2025 the show interviewed the far-right commentator Nick Fuentes. After the backlash, the Gersh agency dropped Nekrasova in November 2025 and she lost a role in the film Iconoclast.[10][11]

Acting career and accolades

Nekrasova made her feature debut in Eugene Kotlyarenko's Wobble Palace (2018), which she co-wrote.[12][1] She played the lead in The Softness of Bodies (2018).[1] In 2021 she joined the third season of HBO's Succession as Comfrey Pellits, a crisis-PR representative advising Kendall Roy.[13][1] Other credits include Mr. Robot (2019), The Serpent (2021), The Beast (2023) and Celine Song's Materialists (2025), and she voiced Klaasje in the original release of the video game Disco Elysium (2019).[1]

She directed The Scary of Sixty-First, a horror film inspired by the Jeffrey Epstein case, which she co-wrote with Madeline Quinn and in which she plays “The Girl”.[12] It premiered in the Encounters section of the 71st Berlin International Film Festival in 2021 and won the festival's GWFF Best First Feature Award, worth €50,000.[12][14] She has also been named as the inspiration for “Mean Girls” on Charli XCX's 2024 album Brat.[1]
