The Russian empire never collapsed
Episode Summary The perception of the contemporary Russian state begins with the fundamental misconception that the Russian Empire has ceased to exist. In fact, it is fully thriving today, simply under a new name - the Russian Federation. The Soviet Union was considered a state of equality and fraternity. The Russian Federation is a democratic country. But it has always been an empire that steals the history and culture of its colonies. Why don't people in the West still identify this large, powerful country as a so-called superior nation that conquered and committed genocide on thousands of people, as other empires in Europe did? Moreover, the Russian Federation/Empire is still doing this today against Ukrainians. How and who created this myth of a great empire, and was Ukraine ever a colony? The guest of today's episode is Mykola Riabchuk, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. He will tell us how Russia has become the state it is today.

The Azov Assault Brigade: russia's New Boogeymen
Episode Summary You've probably heard of the one of the most elite brigades of the National Guard of Ukraine. Maybe you've heard of their bravery, or maybe you've seen the fear they inspire in the russian armed forces. Maybe you've heard the russian propaganda about them.
