    Putin and the Apartment Bombs: 3. The TV Show

    What if the truth behind the bombs could be revealed - on a television show? Following the events at Ryazan, journalists at Russia’s major television channel NTV prepare for a primetime broadcast: a confrontation between the residents of the building where the sacks of powder were found and the FSB officials who insist it was nothing more than a training exercise. With the Russian presidential election just days away, the TV show becomes a gamble that could cost NTV far more than its ratings. In this episode, Helena speaks to Yevgeny Kiselyov, one of Russia’s most influential political journalists and the man who brought the show to the air. In Season 1 of The History Bureau, presenter Helena Merriman returns to one of the most contested - and consequential - stories in modern Russia. In September 1999, just weeks after Vladimir Putin became Prime Minister, four bombs blew up four apartment buildings across Russia. The bombs exploded in the middle of the night, killing hundreds of people while they slept. In this season, Merriman returns to the story with the reporters who were there on the ground. What did they get right first time around? And, in the chaos and confusion of unfolding events, what did they miss?

    Jeffrey Epstein est l'un de ceux que l'on appelle les "self-made men". Parti de rien, il s'est fait une place dans les milieu des affaires et a commencé à fréquenter le tout New York. En parallèle de cette réussite, le prédateur assouvissait un insatiable appétit sexuel en embauchant de très jeunes femmes comme masseuses. Une lubricité qui va se transformer en un véritable réseau de prostitution et qui va finir par attirer le regard de la presse ainsi que celui de la justice. À travers un récit long format, Vincent Parizot retrace, toutes les semaines, la vie et les crimes d'un salaud de l'Histoire. Une collection spéciale de notre émission phare "Entrez dans l'Histoire.

    Brancusi, sculpteur de l’épure : aux origines d'un artiste inspirant qui a bouleversé l'art moderne

    Attaché à sculpter « l’essence des choses », Constantin Brancusi aura bouleversé l’art moderne grâce à ses formes épurées dont s’inspireront les designers du monde entier. Né en 1876 dans un petit village roumain, Brancusi quitte très jeune son foyer pour explorer le pays, avant de prendre la route de Paris, la capitale des arts. 🚶‍♂️ Malgré de nombreuses épreuves, il parvient à intégrer l'École des Beaux-Arts et à s'imposer dans le bouillonnant milieu artistique parisien, côtoyant des figures comme Rodin, Modigliani ou Picasso. Progressivement, Brancusi développe un style unique, s'affranchissant du réalisme pour explorer l'essence même de la forme et du mouvement. De la photographie à la forge, il repousse les limites de la sculpture, captant la vibration de la vie dans la pierre et le métal. 🕰️ Des débuts modestes dans son village natal à sa consécration internationale, cet épisode retrace le parcours fascinant de ce sculpteur visionnaire, qui a profondément marqué l'art moderne. Laissez-vous emporter par cette histoire d'un artiste audacieux, guidé par sa quête incessante de la perfection formelle. Plongez dans l’histoire des grands personnages et des évènements marquants qui ont façonné notre monde ! Avec enthousiasme et talent, Franck Ferrand vous révèle les coulisses de l’histoire avec un grand H, entre mystères, secrets et épisodes méconnus : un cadeau pour les amoureux du passé, de la préhistoire à l’histoire contemporaine.

    Putin and the Apartment Bombs: 4. The Poisoning

    Two men challenging the FSB’s story flee to London seeking safety, only to end up dead. Years after the apartment bombings shook Russia a press conference is held in London, led by exiled oligarch Boris Berezovsky. Once a kingmaker who helped propel Putin to power, Berezovsky now claims the bombs were an inside job. And in the room sits another man, Alexander Litvinenko, whose own investigation into the bombings will set him on a perilous collision course with the Kremlin. As the danger moves across borders, one question lingers: how high is the price for speaking out? In this episode, Helena speaks to Jeremy Vine and Gordon Corera, two journalists who followed the story from the UK. In Season 1 of The History Bureau, presenter Helena Merriman returns to one of the most contested - and consequential - stories in modern Russia. In September 1999, just weeks after Vladimir Putin became Prime Minister, four bombs blew up four apartment buildings across Russia.

    The Great Comic Book Scare

    February 4, 1955. In a New York courtroom, the Comics Czar takes the stand. He’s in charge of enforcing a new code, meant to keep comic books from corrupting America’s youth, and he’s here to prove that his work has cleaned up the industry. But that afternoon, a noted psychologist named Fredric Wertham argues that his work has not nearly gone far enough. When the hearing comes to a close, the committee is left to decide: what is the future of the comic book? Why did one of the country’s leading psychologists see them as a major threat to American children? And what can the Great Comic Book Scare teach us about moral panics? Special thanks to our guests, David Hajdu, author of The Ten-Cent Plague; and Jeremy Dauber, author of American Comics: A History. ** This episode originally aired Jan 31, 2022.

Pick up your copy now at your local bookstore or visit ⁠⁠noiser.com/books⁠⁠ to learn more. At the dawn of the twentieth century, Russia was a nation on the brink. Strikes, protests, and brutal uprisings were shaking the empire. Public faith in the monarchy was hanging by a thread. It was into this fragile world that Grigori Rasputin stepped. Whether he was truly a holy man, blessed with healing powers, or a fraud and a drunkard, his closeness to the Tsarina gave him a hold over the Russian court which seemed both inexplicable and irresistible.   But what was it about Rasputin that allowed him to enchant a desperate empress? How did rumours of scandal and corruption turn one man into a symbol of national decay? And why, even after his violent death, does his shadow still hang over the fall of Imperial Russia?
