Worth it

You can blame my Conspiranormal listenership for catching this podcast. An excellent history show on a very specific, yet increasingly relevant, subject. History does not just repeat itself - it is a longer scale feedback loop. Understanding the history of Eastern Europe today requires learning about thousands of years of history. This bloke makes that task easier when it comes to the history of the Rus.
