i’ve found it difficult to find a good, varied and informative podcast on soviet history, until now. as a post-graduate student studying soviet history this podcast is a real gem to listen to while i’m pottering about in the flat or commuting. highly recommend to anyone wanting to know more about this period in history beyond what books will tell you.
