    Geography vs. Society: What Shapes History?
    2025/08/08
    This episode explores the debate between geographic determinism and societal influence in shaping history and civilizations. Using examples from Russia, South America, Angkor Wat, and others, the creator examines whether geography or societal choices play a more decisive role in development. The discussion includes critiques of popular theories, such as those by Jared Diamond, and highlights cases where geography alone fails to explain societal outcomes.

  • Putin's Russia: Ideological Roots and Influences

    Putin's Russia: Ideological Roots and Influences
    2025/08/01
    This analysis explores the ideological foundations of Putin's regime, focusing on the influence of three key thinkers: Ivan Ilyin, Lev Gumilev, and Carl Schmitt. Ilyin's Christian fascism shapes Russia's self-image and political structure; Gumilev's Eurasianism underpins foreign policy; Schmitt justifies lawlessness and authoritarian rule. The episode critiques Western misunderstandings and highlights the persistence of fascist and anti-democratic ideas in modern Russia.

    2025/07/25

  • The European Union’s Fight to Hold Nations Together

    The European Union’s Fight to Hold Nations Together
    2025/07/12

    In this episode, we talk about how the European Union fits into Europe’s long history of empire, collapse, and cooperation. We dig into the Union’s roots in post-World War history, the failed promises of nationalism in the nineteen twenties, the enduring influence of countries like France and Britain, the role of Russia’s gas strategy, and how old imperial habits still shape European energy and agriculture today. From Pilsudski’s vision of the Intermarium to modern debates over uranium, African resources, and Brexit, this story shows why the European Union is more than a trade bloc—it is Europe’s bet on a post-imperial future.

  • From the Tomb of Alexander

    From the Tomb of Alexander
    2025/07/06

    In this episode we travel from the bones of Alexander the Great to the shadows of Charlemagne, the echoes of Rome, the tombs of Suleiman and Cyrus, the myths of the Mughals, and the stories that refuse to die. We trace how empire never really ends but folds itself into new shapes, riding on the backs of conquerors, stories, pilgrimages, and half-true legends. This is the haunting truth about power — that the grave is never really the end when myth can raise the bones to walk again.
