This week, on the Russian History Podcast, we get into the causes of the Great Famine, analysing how Boris made a desparate situation even worse, by issuing unsound economic policies and then not challenging the noblity and clergy who were exploiting the situation. Questions and queries can be emailed to [email protected] or by following @ruhipoca on Twitter.
