This is Part One of the interview for the British audience I gave a few days ago, where I answer questions not so much on the contemporary politics but on Russian Soviet History. Why did the Soviet Union collapse? Why did Putin come to power? Why is he so popular in Russia and so much detested in some West European ruling circles?
Dr. Brovkin served as an Associate Professor of Soviet History at Harvard University, he is the author of numerous books on Russian History and politics. His latest book: From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin: Russia in Search of Its identity (Routledge, London 2024) is available from Amazon and Routledge.com. Yu can find: Russia under Yeltsin and Putin, Russia under the Communist Regime, War in Ukraine, European History and other playlists. THESE WERE CONVERTED TO PODCASTS on You Tube music.
