Love it
It’s hard to believe that you’ve been able to do this for so long, so well. Thanks for all the content. You’re awesome.

This has been a good show that has delved into many varied aspects of historical Russia/USSR. I have used these episodes as a jumping off point for several books, very informative. The host obviously has a passion for Russian history yet maintains an objective outlook for time and place. I recommend this program.
