The host obviously has a passion for Russian history yet maintains an objective outlook for time and place. I...”Read full review »

“Mark does a very good job with this podcast. I have been thoroughly enjoying it...currently around 210. Everyone has biases. To assert otherwise is foolish. He very much tries to show many sides and provides his reasoning. The issue is Mark is honest with (displays) his bias and does not...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast. Listen to every episode.
May you recommend though to finish them with the words “Spasibo za vnimanie” rather than “Spasibo Bol’shoe”. It means “Thank you for listening” and is normally used at the end of speeches in Russian.
Спасибо за внимание.”

“This podcast is valuable to me, helping me learn about the history of Russia in a life with now little time for reading. But much more valuable to me is the personal insights, emotions and depth of thought given by its author, who himself has Russian roots. If I read everything he does, I would...”Read full review »

But those moments are rare and his storytelling is great - he quotes sources and tells you when he is uncertain of what...”Read full review »
