Have a question or comment for Pastor Plek or one of his guests. Send it here.A gospel booklet shows up in the mail behind the Iron Curtain and it changes a teenager's life forever. Sergei grew up in Belarus under the USSR, where the aftershock of World War II, state propaganda, and restricted Christianity shaped everything from what people believed to what they feared. We talk through what “freedom” looks like when the government can track believers, disrupt services, and fine families for worship. Then the story jumps forward to Israel. Sergei moved in 2021, started building life as a tour guide, and soon found himself living through October 7 and the long months of alarms that followed. He explains Iron Dome in everyday language, what safe rooms and community shelters are actually like, and why Israelis keep working, parenting, and praying even when sirens become part of the weekly routine. We also get into the human side of it: meeting neighbors in a shelter, watching kids serve in the IDF, and learning the difference between fear and caution. We zoom out on the headlines too, including Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and why phrases like “from the river to the sea” can hide a much deeper rejection of Israel's right to exist. Sergei shares history from the 1947 partition plan, describes how propaganda spreads, and offers a Bible-shaped way to pray for Israel and for hearts to recognize Yeshua as Messiah.

Fr. Sergei Sveshnikov grew up in the Soviet Union during the final years of state-sponsored atheism before immigrating to the United States on his own. After some life happenings and lots of revelations, he became an Orthodox priest. A fascinating aspect of his ministry has been in the prisons. We get into what that is and how it compares and contrasts with being a priest in a parish. In this conversation, we discuss life under Soviet atheism, prison ministry, freedom and repentance, the struggle against the passions, fasting, and the challenges facing Christians in the modern world. We also explore technology, artificial intelligence, and what it means to cultivate wisdom in an age overflowing with information.

Hey Comrade Bobs! We're diving into the Soviet side of the For All Mankind universe with Star City Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2 — “The Eyes” and “A Bear on a Chain.”This one's a slow-burn political thriller with a definite Andor vibe — gritty, paranoid, and full of tension. We follow Irina's origin story as she navigates the KGB machine, young Sergei catching the Chief Designer's eye, and Belikova's high-stakes moon landing that goes sideways in spectacular fashion (yes, there's a bear). The forced marriage plot, the constant surveillance, and that bleak-but-beautiful Soviet aesthetic all hit hard.We break down the stark contrast to the American space program, the paranoia baked into every scene, and why this feels like a fresh (and very different) chapter in the FAM universe.Drop your thoughts at happyvalleyfam@gmail.com — we read every one!See you next week, Bobs!

But how credible is this report, and is the president's paranoia justified?Our Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett joins Niall to discuss whether Shoigu is really plotting to oust Putin, and what it means if the leader's grip on power is slipping.Have you got a question for Niall?

Sergei Barracuda, vlastním jménem Erik Peter, patří k výrazným postavám české rapové scény posledních let. Pochází z Ostravy, začínal v uskupeních jako Fuerza Arma a AK a postupně se vyprofiloval jako sólový autor s jasně rozpoznatelným stylem a důrazem na osobní výpověď. Jeho tvorba stojí na kombinaci trapu, tvrdšího pouličního výrazu a postupně i otevřenějších témat, která rozvíjí napříč projekty jako série Pouliční ekonomická nebo alba Medusa, Produkt a Růst & Prosperita. Zároveň je u něj patrný posun v práci s produkcí i celkovou koncepcí desek. V rozhovoru došla řeč na jeho vývoj od ostravského undergroundu po současnost, na konkrétní projekty, spolupráce i to, jak dnes přemýšlí o rapu, zvuku a vlastní pozici na scéně. ON AIR je talk show hudebního publicisty Pavla Kučery s hudebníky a lidmi z hudební branže. Nový díl je uveřejněn každý týden na YouTube kanálu Kytary.cz.

Should the Penguins give Sergei Murashov a shot following Stuart Skinner's injury? Nick Belsky breaks down his potential and whether now is the right time for Pittsburgh to give him a chance. Check out our latest episodes

Steigy thinks Sergei Murashov could be the backup on Thursday but thinks that Arturs Silovs will start in New Jersey. Dan Muse should be the coach of the year. Muse has been able to find all this success without a true number one goalie. Steigy thinks Rickard Rakell is the third most important forward behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

We want to see Sergei Murashov play, but it seems he will be sent back to Wilkes-Barre. Stuart Skinner was back at practice. Triva for the Penguins all-time points list.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: This is the highest-scoring Penguins team of the Sidney Crosby era and Paul thinks it's because of Dan Muse. Muse has been able to find all this success without a true number one goalie. Steigy thinks Rickard Rakell is the third most important forward behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. What is going on with the reported Konnor Griffin extension?

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Marcell Ozuna is in-between at the plate and Michael said Ozuna is not catching up to the fastball. Michael thinks Konnor Griffin has a lot going on off the field with having 30 family members in the stands and big expectations. Stuart Skinner was back at practice.

Post-Gazette Penguins insider King Jemison takes a look at the team's current standing in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs hunt. This show is presented by FanDuel. What went wrong in the Penguins' 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night? Any cause for concern? Or just a blip at the tail end of a really challenging month? Should we be worried about Sidney Crosby's performance level since returning from injury? Should the Penguins call up goalie prospect Sergei Murashov amid inconsistencies from Stuart Skinner and Arturs Silovs? And where do they stand in the playoff picture? Are they safe with six games to go? King tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, Sergei Loznitsa, writer and director of TWO PROSECUTORS, discusses the film's exploration of “the impunity of power” and how the theme resonates with contemporary audiences. He reflects on navigating the delicate line between historical events and fictional storytelling, and how the process challenged his own views on justice. Sergei also shares insights into the moral and ethical questions that drive the narrative, highlighting why the story remains urgent and relevant today.TWO PROSECUTORS is available in theatres on March 27th, 2026.

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 63rd New York Film Festival with Two Prosecutors director Sergei Loznitsa, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. An NYFF63 Main Slate selection, Two Prosecutors is currently in select theaters, courtesy of Janus Films. The latest film from the great Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa is a scalpel-precise tale of the horrors of totalitarian bureaucracy. Adapting a novel by Soviet writer and political prisoner Georgy Demidov, set in the Soviet Union in 1937, Loznitsa follows the attempts of an idealistic government-appointed prosecutor to expose the mistreatment of a dissident Bolshevik writer who has been jailed and tortured without evidence of wrongdoing. As he gradually comes to realize, the lack of cause for the man's imprisonment is hardly unique under Stalin's regime, and the neophyte lawyer may be putting himself in danger by exposing his own moral righteousness. Loznitsa constructs his story with a patient yet unmistakable sense of mounting dread, focusing on the devastating minutiae that allows fascism to function in our world. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.

Vicki Dobbs Beck, the former head of ILMxLab and a 34-year veteran of Lucasfilm/Disney, joins Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a candid look back at her incredible career navigating the tech and cultural shifts inside one of Hollywood's most powerful empires. Though she announced her retirement, it was quickly delayed to take an interim lead position at the George Lucas Educational Foundation's Lucas Learning, focusing on project-based simulations for middle school—a return to a career passion she started in the early 90s.Vicki shares the core, "rebel alliance" strategy that made ILMxLab a success—sustained innovation, industry acknowledgment, and financial self-sufficiency—and tells the terrifying story of pushing the Quest 1 headset to its absolute limits for the launch of Vader Immortal. She discusses the crucial lessons learned from pivoting the development to center the player in the story, transforming the experience from a "spatial film" to a personal journey, and the importance of slowing the pacing down for a new art form like VR.Before the interview, the hosts dissect a week of massive raises in AI (World Labs' $1B, Recursive Intelligence's $335M), the strategic shifts of tech giants like Palantir to Miami, and the intensifying race in wearables with Apple, Meta, and OpenAI all developing new devices like pendants and glasses.Key Moments00:03:17 – World Labs & Unity AI: Discussing the $1B World Labs raise for 3D world generation and Unity's plans to build AI into its game engine to make it accessible to non-developers.00:06:11 – The Miami Tech Hub: Rony Abovitz on why founders like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Larry, and Sergei are moving to Miami—it's more than just taxes, it's about a new “America strategy.”00:12:30 – Apple Watch as Wearables Base: Ted Schilowitz argues Apple already has the micro-technology (from the Apple Watch) to dominate the wearables space, but the underperformance of Siri held them back.00:27:00 – LaserDisc Learning: Vicki's early career in Lucasfilm Learning using cutting-edge but bulky computer-driven laser disc players for educational multimedia.00:28:57 – VR is 'Outsized': Ted's thesis that immersive technology has historically been overfunded and over-expected to return a profit, contrasting with the "rebel alliance" approach.00:34:45 – The Quest 1 Launch Scare: The terrifying moment before the Vader Immortal launch when a tiny software update broke the app because ILMxLab had pushed the Quest hardware to its absolute maximum.00:42:11 – The Void & Full VR Power: Charlie, Ted, and Vicki discuss why location-based VR like Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire (The Void) represents the exotic, "Ferrari version" of VR that most commercial users never experience.This conversation is a masterclass in pioneering entertainment technology. Vicki Dobbs Beck's experience shows that the path to a sustainable, breakthrough product like Vader Immortal requires a clear, rebel-alliance-style strategy, a willingness to pivot on core design principles (spatial film vs. player-centric experience), and a deep understanding of the hardware's limits—or lack thereof. It highlights the essential tension between commercial scale and the pursuit of the 'ultimate' immersive experience.Catch the AI XR Podcast where you get podcasts and watch full video episodes on YouTube. https://youtu.be/vguuHDmaSbsThis episode of The AI XR Podcast is brought to you by Zappar, the folks behind Mattercraft.

Today marks exactly four years since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine in 2022. Throughout this conflict, the role of local institutions has shifted dramatically, with communities often looking to spiritual leaders for more than just guidance. In this interview, Crystal Gibbons speaks with two leaders within the Church of the Nazarene in Ukraine: Pastor Svetlana, the District Superintendent, and Pastor Sergei, who began his ministry at the onset of the war. They discuss the evolving nature of the church as it transforms into a "warm place"—a literal and spiritual shelter that offers food, warmth, and hope to believers and non-believers alike. From the logistical hurdles posed by power outages to the deeply personal struggle of maintaining faith amid tragedy, Svetlana and Sergei offer an unfiltered look at leadership during a prolonged crisis.

The Cold War Cinema team, Jason Christian, Anthony Ballas, and Paul T. Klein, return to discuss Mikhail Kalatozov's 1959 drama Letter Never Sent.  Synopsis of the film: Four geologists descend on the Siberian Taiga. Over the course of a backbreaking summer sifting minerals in the icy, rushing waters of boreal rivers, the group–the experienced guide, Konstantin, a young couple, Andrei and Tanya, and the brooding Sergei–search for diamond deposits to enrich themselves and their country. Throughout, Konstanin writes an extended letter home to his wife Vera. Sergei, too, writes a letter, though never meant to be read, expressing his jealousy and Andrei and love for Tanya. When a massive forest fire breaks out, however, the group must work together to survive, not only the blaze, but the ravages of the elements and the fast-approaching and deadly Siberian winter… On this episode we discuss: The unbelievable production of a film shot on location in the USSR taiga.  How the film reflects the tenents of socialist realism in complex and creative ways.  How the film shares many of the sensibilites of the western genre and pairs nicely with John Ford's The Searchers in this regard.  The basic theoretical aspects of scientific socialism and how the filmmaker uses them to shape the film's narrative and themes.  The allegorical use of a diamond in the Soviet context versus the same in the capitalist West.  _____________________ We love to give book or film recommendations on the podcast, so here are ours for this episode:  Paul: Two "Northwesterns": Bend of the River (Anthony Mann, 1952) and River of No Return (Otto Preminger, 1954) Tony: Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War by Vincent Brown Jason: Nail in the Boot (Mikhail Kalatozov, 1931) and Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Friedrich Engels Also, check out this fascinating interview on the Actually Existing Socialism podcast with the scholar Sardana Nikolaeva, who studies the Indigenous peoples of the northern regions of the Soviet Union (and present-day Russia) and their connection to the diamond mines that are imagined in the film.  _____________________ Like and subscribe to Cold War Cinema, and don't forget to leave us a review!

International correspondent Sergei Loiko reflects on his time inside the Donetsk airport during the height of the fighting — a rare vantage point that later shaped his novel Aeroport. This 2016 interview captures how the battle was understood before the English translation appeared and before the full‑scale invasion reshaped global awareness. A clear, unfiltered snapshot of the early phase of Russia's war against Ukraine.***In January 2016, international correspondent Sergei Loiko joined Nash Holos for a conversation shaped by his rare firsthand experience inside the Donetsk airport during the height of the fighting. Loiko was the only foreign journalist to spend several days embedded with the Ukrainian defenders known as the Cyborgs — access that later informed his novel Aeroport, published in Ukrainian and Russian in 2016.This interview was recorded the day after his Ottawa presentation marking the release of those original editions. At the time, no English version existed; the translation would not appear until 2018, under the title Airport.Re‑released now to provide historical context on the early phase of Russia's war against Ukraine, the discussion offers a clear, unfiltered snapshot of how the battle was understood at the time — before the full‑scale invasion and before Loiko's novel reached an international readership. His reflections on the soldiers, the siege, and the human cost of the conflict remain strikingly relevant.Coming soon on Knyzhka Corner:A review of the 2018 English translation of Airport.Full transcript at the Nash Holos website here.

When we look at old photographs, we tend to expect them to be in black and white. We expect the past to feel distant, muted, and quiet, as if history were always supposed to be sepia-toned and far away. Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky did not accept that. He wanted people to see the world as it actually looked. Not in our time, but in his. Not as a ghost of history, but as something alive with color...
