I've spent the past year or so listening back through your episodes and I'm so grateful for your effort. The way you've divided up each episode has been very helpful in learning more about Russian history. Highly recommended!

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.
