Miscellaneous
After some technical difficulties caused a brief hiatus, we're back, and today we're talking about Russia's greatest love machine, Rasputin. We talk about the history of the religious sect of which the mysterious monk supposedly belonged, and how that shapes his reputation even today. We also examine the history of populism in Russia, how that relates to today, where elite and institutional understandings of "the common citizen" are often wrong.
