What happens when civilizations abandon their moral foundations? Throughout history, totalitarian ideologies—whether religious or political—have followed a disturbing pattern. They initially advocate for "peaceful coexistence," but once they attain sufficient power, this stance proves temporary. The choice offered to dissenters becomes stark: submit or face persecution.Fox's Book of Martyrs details how the Spanish Inquisition, operating under papal authority, turned Spain into a land of torture chambers and public executions. In just 129 years, this institution deprived Spain of three million inhabitants. Similar patterns emerge across different eras and ideologies—from medieval religious persecution to 20th-century totalitarian regimes under Stalin, Hitler, and Mao. The lesson is clear: when organizations pursuing evil gain absolute power, peaceful coexistence vanishes.This historical perspective carries profound implications for modern America. The Medal of Honor story of Mitchell Page illustrates how our nation's strength once flowed directly from its moral and religious foundations. When asked what gave him courage to stand alone against overwhelming Japanese forces on Guadalcanal, Page credited his early education in "a little bitty country school room in Pennsylvania where they started each day with the Bible and the Pledge of Allegiance." In his darkest moment, wounded and surrounded by enemy bodies, his Bible providentially opened to Proverbs 3:5-6—his mother's favorite verse about trusting God.America's founders understood that liberty requires moral citizens with "skin in the game"—people with property and families worth defending. When individuals feel invested in their nation's future, they willingly sacrifice for its preservation. This explains why the Founders emphasized property rights and strong families as essential foundations of the republic.As we navigate today's cultural challenges, we face choices similar to Americans in 1774, who hoped for reconciliation while preparing to defend their freedoms. Our path forward requires both preparation and prayer—standing firm for liberty while praying for national renewal and the transformation of hearts.Subscribe to American Soul for more explorations of faith, history, and the principles that made America exceptional.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Mattias Spee is pianist en componist. Hij studeerde in 2021 af aan het Conservatorium van Amsterdam en ontwikkelde zich sindsdien tot componist, improvisator en interdisciplinair artiest. Spee wordt een van de grootste pianotalenten van Nederland genoemd en besteedt graag aandacht aan werken en componisten die vergeten dreigen te raken. Deze fascinatie resulteerde in een serie albums genaamd ‘Eclipse'. Voor het derde album in deze serie richt hij de schijnwerper op Sergei Protopopov. Deze componist maakte in de jaren '20 van de 20ste eeuw furore met zijn harmonische vindingrijkheid, maar het Stalin-regime keurde zijn composities af, stuurde hem naar een strafkamp in Siberië en legde een boycot op zijn werk. Spee nam niet alleen het uitgegeven werk van Protopopov onder handen, maar zette ook enkele onuitgegeven manuscripten als eerste pianist ooit op de plaat. Femke van der Laan gaat met Mattias Spee in gesprek.

In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by historian and author Giles Milton to explore the chaotic aftermath of WWII, focusing on the often overlooked post-war period and its critical role in shaping modern geopolitics.The Forgotten YearsGiles argues that the immediate post-war period is often overshadowed by the Second World War itself. He emphasizes how understanding this era is crucial for grasping modern conflicts, including the motivations behind Putin's actions today.Berlin: The Epicentre of ConflictDivided CityThe discussion delves into the division of Berlin after 1945, where the Allies' failure to fully capture the city allowed Stalin to solidify his control and loot its treasures.Propaganda and PowerGiles reveals the story behind the iconic photo of the Red Flag over the Reichstag, showcasing how it served as a potent propaganda tool for the Soviets.The Breakdown of AlliancesAs tensions rise, the personal relationships between the Big Three Allied leaders deteriorate. Giles shares insights into Operation Unthinkable, Churchill's secret plan to confront the Soviets, and the growing mistrust among the leaders.The Berlin AirliftThe episode wraps up with the Berlin Airlift of 1948, often mischaracterized as the Cold War's beginning. Giles explains the significance of the Airlift, a logistical marvel that kept 2.5 million Berliners alive amidst the Soviet blockade, and why the Cold War's roots stretch back to 1945.Guest InformationDiscover more about Giles Milton's work, including his books Checkmate in Berlin and The Stalin Affair.

Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America by Ann Coulter. French Revolution chapter 6 All of Ann Coulter's Books are a must have on every Conservatives' bookshelf. Buy them Today... All of them!   The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.   In her most provocative book to date, Ann Coulter argues that liberals exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob, for instance:   Liberal Groupthink: “The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything they haven't heard on NPR.” Liberal Schemes: “No matter how mad the plan is—Fraternité, the ‘New Soviet Man,' the Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society, ObamaCare—a mob will believe it.” Liberal Enemies: “Instead of ‘counterrevolutionaries,' liberals' opponents are called ‘haters,' ‘those who seek to divide us,' ‘tea baggers,' and ‘right-wing hate groups.' Meanwhile, conservatives call liberals ‘liberals'—and that makes them testy.” Liberal Justice: “In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no crimes, only criminals.” Liberal Violence: “If Charles Manson's followers hadn't killed Roman Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, Clinton would have pardoned him, too, and he'd probably be teaching at Northwestern University.”   Citing the father of mob psychology, Gustave Le Bon, Coulter catalogs the Left's mob behaviors: the creation of messiahs, the fear of scientific innovation, the mythmaking, the preference for images over words, the lack of morals, and the casual embrace of contradictory ideas. Coulter traces the history of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierre's revolutionaries (delineating a clear distinction from America's founding fathers), who simply proclaimed that they were exercising the “general will” before slaughtering their fellow citizens “for the good of mankind.” Similarly, as Coulter demonstrates, liberal mobs, from student radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fanatics today, have consistently used violence to implement their idea of the “general will.” This is not the American tradition; it is the tradition of Stalin, of Hitler, of the guillotine—and the tradition of the American Left. As the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs, time and again, while Republicans, heirs to the American Revolution, have regularly stood for peaceable order. Hoping to muddy this horrifying truth, liberals slanderously accuse conservatives of their own crimes—assassination plots, conspiracy theorizing, political violence, embrace of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter shows that the truth is the opposite: Political violence—mob violence—is always a Democratic affair. Surveying two centuries of mob movements, Coulter demonstrates that the mob is always destructive. And yet, she argues, beginning with the civil rights movement in the sixties, Americans have lost their natural, inherited aversion to mobs. Indeed, most Americans have no idea what they are even dealing with.             Only by recognizing the mobs and their demonic nature can America begin to defend itself.

In this episode—5,400 miles from home—I sit with my new friend, Anna Avstriyskaya. She's an anthropologist who is passionate about people, cultures, borders, and migration.Born in the Soviet Union, Anna was raised on the Estonia/Russian border and lived in Moscow for 13 years. We discuss what it was like growing up in a place caught between worlds—Estonian on paper, Russian in culture—and how that shaped the way she views identity, language, and belonging.I ask about the Stalin-created famine in Ukraine in 1930s aka Holodomor. You'll hear stories about life in Moscow, opposition leaders being assassinated, and what most concerns her about the Russia/Ukraine War.Anna also opens up about how hard (and rewarding) it is to be a single mom. She discusses the lack of support from the father of her 2-year old and how difficult it was to lose her own mother shortly after her baby was born.From anthropology studies to her dream destination, Anna's story is one of quiet resilience and determination.

  Mr. X (Donald Sutherland) in the movie JFK by Oliver Stone was based off of the military career of Col. L. Fletcher Prouty. Prouty's military career started before Pearl Harbour, where he was assigned as a Horse Cavalryman. After horses were replaced with tanks in 1941, Prouty joined the Tank Corps under General Creighton Abrams. Abrams went on to be the Senior Military officer in Vietnam during the Vietnam War from 1968-1972. Already a licensed pilot in the Tank Corp, the Air Force recruited Prouty; he transferred quickly to flight school in Africa. Prouty served in the Africa Middle East wing of the Air Transport Command. Prouty being sent to the Cairo Conference in 1943 was the start of Prouty's career with clandestine operations. The Cairo Conference was attended by Churchill, Roosevelt & Chiang Kai-Shek from China. From there, Prouty was sent directly to the Tehran Conference between Churchill, Roosevelt & Stalin met for the 1st time. Why haven't historians been told that Chiang Kai-Shek was ALSO at the Tehran Conference? Prouty knows Chiang Kai-Shek attended the Tehran Conference because he was the pilot that flew him there. A friend of Prouty's was the pilot who flew Elliot Roosevelt to the same Tehran Conference in 1943. After the conferences Prouty was sent to Pacific, flying heavy transport, mostly patients to the hospital, until the war ended. The unit Prouty was flying in was asked to fly immediately into Japan once the war was over in August 1945. The only air base that the US hadn't bombed in anticipation of invading was the major underground Japanese base at Atsugi. The CIA utilized the Atsugi base, where men like Lee Harvey Oswald were later stationed. When Prouty flew back to Okinawa he noticed a huge stockpile of military equipment being loaded onto US ships. The Harbour Master told Prouty the equipment was being sent to Vietnam and Korea. Who had given the orders for the relocation of the military equipment? How early were plans made to invade Vietnam? Prouty was ordered by the Army to report to Yale University to help start a new aviation program. Prouty taught at Yale for three years before being sent to NY to write a text book on Aeronautics for the US Army. After publishing the first text book, Prouty was asked to write another book on rockets and missiles. Given full authority by the government to go anywhere, and interview anyone, Prouty interviewed Werner Von Braun. Von Braun explained to Prouty in 1949 how he would land a rocket on the moon. After helping to set up the NORAD operation in Colorado Springs, after a year Prouty was sent to Tokyo. While the US was an occupation force in Japan, the US military ran the country while Japan was rebuilt. Tokyo had been completely devastated. Prouty was installed as the airport manager for the International Tokyo Airport. Prouty had never seen anywhere as destroyed as Tokyo was by the end of the war. In the Korean war period, after the airport was given back to the Japanese, Prouty helped fly supplies to Lansdale. In 1952-1953 CIA's Edward G. Lansdale built up a covert army in the Philippines under the leadership of Ramon Magsaysay. President Quirino had been the leader of the Philippine government before Magsaysay was installed in 1953. In 1955 Prouty was sent back to US to attend the Armed Forces Staff College run by the Joints Chiefs of Staff. Prouty was then brought into the Pentagon. In 1955 under Eisenhower, CIA would get assistance and funds from military conduits to support their covert operations. In order to enable this plan, an office and system had to be created to handle this global operation. As Chief of Special Operations for the Air Force, Prouty was given the task of heading and creating the office and system. Lansdale was also in the Pentagon at this time, developing programs which later turned into the Special Forces.

8/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by  Svetlana Lokhova (Author)   Format: Kindle Edition On a sunny September day in 1931, a Soviet spy walked down the gangplank of the luxury transatlantic liner SS Europa and into New York. Attracting no attention, Stanislav Shumovsky had completed his journey from Moscow to enrol at a top American university. He was concealed in a group of 65 Soviet students heading to prestigious academic institutions. But he was after far more than an excellent education. Recognising Russia was 100 years behind the encircling capitalist powers, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had sent Shumovsky on a mission to acquire America's vital secrets to help close the USSR's yawning technology gap. The road to victory began in the classrooms and laboratories of MIT – Shumovsky's destination soon became the unwitting finishing school for elite Russian spies. The USSR first transformed itself into a military powerhouse able to confront and defeat Nazi Germany. Then in an extraordinary feat that astonished the West, in 1947 American ingenuity and innovation exfiltrated by Shumovsky made it possible to build and unveil the most advanced strategic bomber in the world. Following his lead, other MIT-trained Soviet spies helped acquire the secrets of the Manhattan Project. By 1949, Stalin's fleet of TU-4s, now equipped with atomic bombs could devastate the US on his command. Appropriately codenamed BLÉRIOT, Shumovsky was an aviation spy. Shumovsky's espionage was so successful that the USSR acquired every US aviation secret from his network of agents in factories and at top secret military research institutes. In this thrilling history, Svetlana Lokhova takes the reader on a journey through Stalin's most audacious intelligence operation. She pieces together every aspect of Shumovsky's life and character using information derived from American and Russian archives, exposing how even Shirley Temple and Franklin D. Roosevelt unwittingly advanced his schemes. 1945

Today's broadcasts uncover a sweeping arc of political extremism, failed leadership, and rising global threats—painting a picture of how socialist ideology and authoritarian ambitions intersect. Tara begins with New York's Zohran Mamdani, who unapologetically proposes taxing neighborhoods by race, sparking fears of targeted persecution dressed up as “fairness.” She connects this to the Marxist strategy of seizing the means of production—an approach echoed in Mamdani's calls to empty prisons and defund the police, recalling the tactics used in Stalin's and Mao's revolutions to consolidate power through engineered scarcity and fear. On the international front, the show spotlights the fatwas issued by Iran's top clerics demanding the assassination of Trump, Netanyahu, and U.S. officials—an escalation that underscores the Islamic Republic's alliance with China in building a deeply entrenched nuclear program. Tara details how Iran's underground facilities, partly staffed by thousands of Chinese scientists, survived American strikes and are already resuming operations. Finally, Tara breaks down Canada's sudden reversal of its social media tax after Trump retaliated by ending tariff negotiations, demonstrating how effective American leverage can be when it's actually used. She contrasts Trump's forceful approach with past Republican administrations' toothless condemnations. Taken together, these segments reveal a dangerous synergy: radical domestic agendas emboldened by global adversaries and enabled by complacent elites. From the push for race-based taxation and centralized control over food and energy, to the foreign plots that threaten American leaders, today's coverage shows just how close the country is to tipping point—and how quickly that danger spreads when no one is willing to say no.

What would it feel like To Run the World? The Soviet rulers spent the Cold War trying desperately to find out. In To Run The World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power, Sergey Radchenko provides an unprecedented deep dive into the psychology of the Kremlin's decision-making. He reveals how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution. This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin's postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev's reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev's jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev's failed attempts to reinvent Moscow's claims to greatness. Perennial insecurities, delusions of grandeur, and desire for recognition propelled Moscow on a headlong quest for global power, with dire consequences and painful legacies that continue to shape our world. Sergey Radchenko is the Wilson E. Schmidt Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He has written extensively on the Cold War, nuclear history, and on Russian and Chinese foreign and security policies. He has served as a Global Fellow and a Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Centre and as the Zi Jiang Distinguished Professor at East China Normal University (Shanghai). Professor Radchenko's books include To Run the World: the Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power (Cambridge UP, forthcoming in 2024), Two Suns in the Heavens: the Sino-Soviet Struggle for Supremacy (Wilson Center Press & Stanford UP, 2009), and Unwanted Visionaries: the Soviet Failure in Asia (Oxford UP, 2014). Professor Radchenko is a native of Sakhalin Island, Russia, was educated in the US, Hong Kong, and the UK, where he received his PhD in 2005 (LSE). Before he joined SAIS, Professor Radchenko worked and lived in Mongolia, China, and Wales. Sidney Michelini is a post-doctoral researcher working on Ecology, Climate, and Violence at the Peace Research Institute of Frankfurt (PRIF).

Coming up on today's Local: A man arrested in Huntington Park seemed to be poised to go on some kind of criminal spree dressed as an ICE agent ... Republicans in Congress keep the pressure on the city of Los Angeles ... masked up ICE agents, already operating with the charm of Joseph Stalin's secret police, are now forcing the cancellation of summer events around Southern California ... and we'll explain a complicated but important Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship.

This week, Anthony talks with historian Tim Bouverie about his book 'Allies at War', which explores the complex dynamics between the Allied powers during World War II. He delves into the roles of key figures such as Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin, the strategic decisions made at pivotal conferences like Tehran and Yalta, and the implications of these decisions on the war's outcome.

Pendant une grande partie du XXe siècle, le jazz, cette musique libre, vibrante, imprévisible… était tout simplement interdit en Union soviétique.Pourquoi ? Revenons au début.Dans les années 1920, après la révolution bolchévique, l'URSS vit une courte période d'ouverture culturelle. Le jazz arrive alors à Moscou, porté par des musiciens curieux, et même soutenu un temps par le régime, qui y voit un art moderne, populaire, presque révolutionnaire.Mais très vite, les choses changent. Dans les années 1930, avec Staline au pouvoir, tout ce qui ne colle pas aux normes du "réalisme socialiste" devient suspect.Et le jazz, avec ses syncopes, son swing, son côté improvisé et indomptable, ne rentre pas dans les cases. Pire encore : il vient des États-Unis, la grande puissance capitaliste et ennemie idéologique.Staline déteste ce qu'il appelle la "musique dégénérée". Le jazz est accusé d'être "antirusse", "bourgeois", "décadent". On le surnomme même la "musique de la jungle". Les saxophones sont bannis, les orchestres de jazz dissous, les musiciens surveillés.Et cela empire après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En pleine guerre froide, écouter du jazz devient un acte de défiance politique. C'est être influencé par l'ennemi.Mais… la musique ne s'arrête pas.Malgré l'interdiction, le jazz continue de vivre en cachette. Dans les caves, les arrière-salles, les appartements privés, on joue du jazz clandestinement. On enregistre sur des radiographies médicales usagées — oui, sur des radios des poumons ! — qu'on appelle les "disques sur os", pour contourner la censure.Certains prennent tous les risques pour écouter des enregistrements de Duke Ellington ou Charlie Parker, captés illégalement sur les ondes occidentales.Et puis, dans les années 1960, le vent tourne un peu. Sous Khrouchtchev, une relative détente permet au jazz de ressortir timidement à la surface. Des festivals sont autorisés, des musiciens soviétiques comme Leonid Utyosov ou Igor Bril font revivre le genre, à leur manière.Mais le jazz ne sera jamais complètement libre en URSS. Il restera surveillé, encadré, soupçonné d'"américaniser" les esprits. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Dr. Antonio J. Muñoz's Hitler's War Against the Partisans During The Stalingrad Offensive: Spring 1942 to the Spring of 1943 (Frontline Books, 2025) explores the brutal and widespread partisan warfare on the Eastern Front during 1942-1943, detailing the Axis forces' anti-partisan efforts and the impact on the Soviet war effort. From the start of the war on the Eastern Front, Hitler's Ostheer, his Eastern Army, and its associated forces would wage a vernichtungskrieg, or war of annihilation, in the East. Never before had such a wide-reaching campaign been fought. The preparations for the war against the partisans began before the launch of Operation Barbarossa, during which the Axis forces immediately put their plans into effect. The effects upon the newly conquered territories were soon being felt. The end of the initial phase of the German invasion of the Soviet Union was met by a Red Army winter offensive which began on 5 December 1941. As the author shows, this had repercussions behind the German lines, where the nascent Soviet partisan movement was attempting to grow and gain a foothold. By the spring of 1942 those early Soviet partisan units were ready to expand. The Germans, aware of the military situation both on the frontlines and in the rear of their armies, also prepared to counter the growing partisan threat. The partisans undoubtedly made a significant contribution to Stalin's war effort by countering Axis plans to exploit occupied Soviet territories economically, as well as providing valuable assistance to the Red Army by conducting systematic attacks against Hitler's rear communication network. As the German military planned to continue the Russian campaign into the summer of 1942, new security forces were gathered together and sent to the Soviet Union, and a new headquarters specifically organized to fight the guerrilla menace, was established. In this follow-up study, author Antonio Muñoz picks up the partisan and anti-partisan struggle in the East, where Hitler's War Against the Partisans During Operation Barbarossa left off. The struggle behind the frontlines in Russia proved to be as grand and epic as the fight along the front lines. Dr. Muñoz describes this war of attrition along the entire breath of the USSR. In 1942 the Ostheer, acting on Adolf Hitler's orders, launched their 1942 summer offensive which was aimed at capturing the Caucasus Mountains and the Russian oil fields that lay there. Dr. Muñoz not only covers the war behind the lines in every region of the occupied USSR, but also describes the German anti-partisan effort behind the lines of Army Group South, as its forces drove into the Caucasus Mountains, the Volga River bend and Stalingrad. No other work has included the guerrilla and anti-partisan struggle specific to the Stalingrad campaign. Muñoz manages to accomplish this, but also to convey the story of the rest of the partisan and anti-guerrilla war in the rest of the USSR from the spring of 1942 to the spring of 1943.Dr. Antonio J. Muñoz lives in New York City. He is a professor of history at Farmingdale State College in Long Island, New York. He is married, has two daughters and two grandchildren. His last work, published in 2018, covered the history of the German Secret Field Police in Greece, 1941-1944.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.Please check out my earlier interview with Dr. Antonio J.

Dr. Muñoz not only covers the war behind the lines in every region of the occupied USSR, but also describes the German anti-partisan effort behind the lines of Army Group South, as its forces drove into the Caucasus Mountains, the Volga River bend and Stalingrad. No other work has included the guerrilla and anti-partisan struggle specific to the Stalingrad campaign. Muñoz manages to accomplish this, but also to convey the story of the rest of the partisan and anti-guerrilla war in the rest of the USSR from the spring of 1942 to the spring of 1943.Dr. Antonio J. Muñoz lives in New York City. He is a professor of history at Farmingdale State College in Long Island, New York. He is married, has two daughters and two grandchildren.

Dr. Antonio J. Muñoz's Hitler's War Against the Partisans During The Stalingrad Offensive: Spring 1942 to the Spring of 1943 (Frontline Books, 2025) explores the brutal and widespread partisan warfare on the Eastern Front during 1942-1943, detailing the Axis forces' anti-partisan efforts and the impact on the Soviet war effort. From the start of the war on the Eastern Front, Hitler's Ostheer, his Eastern Army, and its associated forces would wage a vernichtungskrieg, or war of annihilation, in the East. Never before had such a wide-reaching campaign been fought. The preparations for the war against the partisans began before the launch of Operation Barbarossa, during which the Axis forces immediately put their plans into effect. The effects upon the newly conquered territories were soon being felt. The end of the initial phase of the German invasion of the Soviet Union was met by a Red Army winter offensive which began on 5 December 1941. As the author shows, this had repercussions behind the German lines, where the nascent Soviet partisan movement was attempting to grow and gain a foothold. By the spring of 1942 those early Soviet partisan units were ready to expand. The Germans, aware of the military situation both on the frontlines and in the rear of their armies, also prepared to counter the growing partisan threat. The partisans undoubtedly made a significant contribution to Stalin's war effort by countering Axis plans to exploit occupied Soviet territories economically, as well as providing valuable assistance to the Red Army by conducting systematic attacks against Hitler's rear communication network. As the German military planned to continue the Russian campaign into the summer of 1942, new security forces were gathered together and sent to the Soviet Union, and a new headquarters specifically organized to fight the guerrilla menace, was established. In this follow-up study, author Antonio Muñoz picks up the partisan and anti-partisan struggle in the East, where Hitler's War Against the Partisans During Operation Barbarossa left off.

1/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by  Svetlana Lokhova (Author)   Format: Kindle EditioN 1928 On a sunny September day in 1931, a Soviet spy walked down the gangplank of the luxury transatlantic liner SS Europa and into New York. Attracting no attention, Stanislav Shumovsky had completed his journey from Moscow to enrol at a top American university. He was concealed in a group of 65 Soviet students heading to prestigious academic institutions. But he was after far more than an excellent education. Recognising Russia was 100 years behind the encircling capitalist powers, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had sent Shumovsky on a mission to acquire America's vital secrets to help close the USSR's yawning technology gap. The road to victory began in the classrooms and laboratories of MIT – Shumovsky's destination soon became the unwitting finishing school for elite Russian spies. The USSR first transformed itself into a military powerhouse able to confront and defeat Nazi Germany. Then in an extraordinary feat that astonished the West, in 1947 American ingenuity and innovation exfiltrated by Shumovsky made it possible to build and unveil the most advanced strategic bomber in the world. Following his lead, other MIT-trained Soviet spies helped acquire the secrets of the Manhattan Project. By 1949, Stalin's fleet of TU-4s, now equipped with atomic bombs could devastate the US on his command. Appropriately codenamed BLÉRIOT, Shumovsky was an aviation spy. Shumovsky's espionage was so successful that the USSR acquired every US aviation secret from his network of agents in factories and at top secret military research institutes. In this thrilling history, Svetlana Lokhova takes the reader on a journey through Stalin's most audacious intelligence operation. She pieces together every aspect of Shumovsky's life and character using information derived from American and Russian archives, exposing how even Shirley Temple and Franklin D. Roosevelt unwittingly advanced his schemes

Laurie Taylor talks to Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of International Affairs at The New School in New York City about her research into the propaganda formulas deployed by Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin over the last two decades. As the great granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev, the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union between 1958 and 1964, she offers personal, as well as political insights, into these developments, drawing on previous periods of oppression in Russian history. She argues that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has intensified 'hard' propaganda, leading to a pervasive presence of military images in every day life and the rehabilitation of Josef Stalin, the former dictator of the Soviet Union, as a symbol of Russian power. She suggests that lessons from past eras, described by such Soviet classics as Alexander Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, can offer small grounds for optimism and hope, as ordinary people absorb alternative narratives. How else to explain the fact that George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, has been a bestseller for many years and has seen a surge in popularity since the start of the war in Ukraine?Producer: Jayne Egerton

Historian Benjamin Nathans joins The Naked Pravda to discuss his new book, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement (Princeton University Press, August 2024). In the post-Stalin USSR, when the regime seemed eternal and there was little tradition of resistance to totalitarianism, citizens who came up against the arbitrary Soviet justice system had to invent their own strategies for effecting change. Nathans looks beyond the familiar stories of figures like Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn to explore how the dissident movement coalesced, and what that history can tell us today.Как поддержать нашу редакцию — даже если вы в России и вам очень страшно
