This month author and professional tarot reader Cassandra Snow joins me to discuss Rachel Pollack's classic Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom. While it's been called the tarot bible, it does have some detractors. Cassandra and I discuss the impact the book and Pollack has had on tarot reading and practice—both for Cassandra and in general, the breadth of knowledge Pollack brings to the text, and her brilliance as a writer. We also address a few of those criticisms.You can pick up a copy of Tarot in Other Words, a book of essays by queer tarot readers, authors and deck creators edited by Cassandra, wherever you buy books. You can learn more about Cassandra's other work, book a tarot reading, and get their social media details from their website.Next month I'll be joined by author and editor Judika Illes to discuss the Soviet Era samizdat classic The Master and the Margarita by Mikhail Bulgacov. Originally published as a complete book in Paris in 1967 after being passed around as an underground manuscript for nearly 30 years, the book has been translated into multiple languages. If you are reading along, it is available in English as a paperback and in digital and audiobook formats. My library had all three available.WitchLit listeners receive 15% off their purchases at La Panthére Studio with the code WITCHLIT.Please support Black, Indigenous, queer, trans, and women-owned, local, independent bookstores and occult shops.Transcripts of all episodes are available at witchlitpod.com.

Fluid Russia: Between the Global and the National in the Post-Soviet Era (Cornell UP, 2021) offers a new framework for understanding Russian national identity by focusing on the impact of globalization on its formation, something which has been largely overlooked. This approach sheds new light on the Russian case, revealing a dynamic Russian identity that is developing along the lines of other countries exposed to globalization. Vera Michlin-Shapir shows how along with the freedoms afforded when Russia joined the globalizing world in the 1990s came globalization's disruptions. Michlin-Shapir describes Putin's rise to power and his project to reaffirm a stronger identity not as a uniquely Russian diversion from liberal democracy, but as part of a broader phenomenon of challenges to globalization. She underlines the limits of Putin's regime to shape Russian politics and society, which is still very much impacted by global trends. As well, Michlin-Shapir questions a prevalent approach in Russia studies that views Russia's experience with national identity as abnormal or defective, either being too weak or too aggressive. What is offered is a novel explanation for the so-called Russian identity crisis. As the liberal postwar order faces growing challenges, Russia's experience can be an instructive example of how these processes unfold. This study ties Russia's authoritarian politics and nationalist rallying to the shortcomings of globalization and neoliberal economics, potentially making Russia "patient zero" of the anti-globalist populist wave and rise of neo-authoritarian regimes. In this way, Fluid Russia contributes to the broader understanding of national identity in the current age and the complexities of identity formation in the global world. Guest: Vera Michlin-Shapir (she/her), is a Visiting Research Fellow at King's Russia Institute, King's College London. Host: Jenna Pittman (she/her) is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Duke University. She studies modern European history, political economy, and Germany from 1945-1990.

This week on Planetary Radio, we explore the decades-long journey of Kosmos 482, a Soviet-era Venus probe that spent 53 years orbiting Earth before its dramatic return on May 10, 2025. Ben Fernando, a postdoctoral researcher in seismology and planetary science at Johns Hopkins University, joins us to explain the history of Kosmos 482 and how seismology and acoustic sensors are helping scientists detect and locate objects impacting Earth. Then Bruce Betts, our chief scientist, joins us for What's Up, where we look back at the largest human-made objects ever to crash back to Earth.

We unpack the latest following Donald Trump’s meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu and ask how seriously we can take the former’s bold claims on Gaza? Also in the programme: we get an update on Afghanistan as the Taliban suspends the country’s only women’s radio station. Then: we unpack why Putin is set to relaunch a Soviet-era song contest, ‘Intervideniye’.

Back in November, Moldova's President Maia Sandu was narrowly re-elected to a second term, despite alleged Russian interference. Sandu partly owes her victory to the vote of the largely pro-European diaspora, which represents almost a third of the Moldovan population and 20 percent of the electorate. But back home, part of the population remains firmly attached to its Soviet past and is denouncing the election result. The topic is divisive, even within families. Our correspondent reports.

In this fascinating episode Alexander Herbert joins to discuss his book “What About Tomorrow?: An Oral History of Russian Punk from the Soviet Era to Pussy Riot”. As always on this show, we're covering something new  by talking about both counterculture music and the late Soviet Era. I myself have virtually no understanding of the punk genre, so don't think you need to be a Punk Rock enthusiast to enjoy this episode as the topics we broach include: soviet regulation of media, how all of this ties into the end of the soviet union and more!  Alexander Herbert, who holds a Masters in Russian history from Indiana University, and a PHD in Modern Russia from Brendeis University, is an expert in the history of the Soviet Union and Global Environmental History. His research examines the interrelations of science, technology, and environmental change in the late USSR. Alexander is additionally interested in the intersection of popular culture and education and has published two books: the first on the history of punk rock in the Soviet Union and Russia, and another that uses horror films in the late USSR to examine the anxieties and fears of late Soviet society. He has also taught classes on the history of capitalism, radical politics in Europe, film history, and underground culture.  Support the podcast at patreon.com/aesthepodcast Alex's Substack "Nothing lasts forever: Russian Punks in Georgia" (Alex's documentary mentioned in the episode) Lenin in 45 Volumes Intro Music Outro Music

Ukraine is at a crossroads. It's been more than two years of brutal, deadly conflict. Despite some shifts to the front lines, neither side has a clear path to military victory, and support for the war effort is flagging amongst Ukrainians. Is it time for President Zelensky to think about negotiating an end to the war? On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer sits with Yaroslav Trofimov, Wall Street Journal Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent and author of "Our Enemies Will Vanish," about the challenges Ukraine faces, including waning morale and difficulties in military recruitment. Although recent polls indicate that Ukrainians are more receptive to peace talks, Trofimov warns that Russia's endgame remains unchanged—total erasure of Ukrainian national identity. With the painful history of Soviet-Era aggression still fresh in the national memory, most Ukrainians are resolute that they won't accept compromise unless it means the return of all internationally recognized land. Trofimov cautions that the absence of security guarantees by NATO and Western allies means Russia's assault on Ukraine is far from over.Though Bremmer and Trofimov spoke in July before Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region, the larger picture remains bleak: no clear path to ending the war, hundreds of thousands of lives lost, and nearly 20% of Ukraine still under occupation. And if Donald Trump wins a second term, continued US military support is uncertain. So, is it time for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia for a swift end to the war? If not, what will be the cost of all this suffering?Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Yaroslav Trofimov  Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

The Soviet era in Ukraine left an indelible mark on the nation, shaping its socio-political landscape over the course of seven decades. From the forced collectivisation of agriculture to the devastating Holodomor famine, Ukrainians endured significant hardships under Soviet rule. The era witnessed cultural suppression and attempts to foster a distinct Soviet Ukrainian identity. Despite the challenges, the Soviet period also saw moments of industrialisation and urbanisation, transforming Ukraine into an important economic hub within the Soviet Union.Find out how you can support Ukraine in its struggle for peace and freedom here.You can find bonus content such as videos and extended versions of episodes over at The History Buff Patreon (it's free - for now!).

I used to think that the production of dystopian movies like The Matrix would help people understand that they are being manipulated just like the characters in this movie. Somehow people can watch these movies and not realize that they are looking into a mirror and that the very movie they are watching is a metaphor for their own lives. This 1984 interview with ex-KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov really puts you in touch with the existence of a real process that the USSR used on its own citizens and foreign adversaries like the United States. You can see eerie parallels between what he describes and what we are living through in 2023.

In Episode 6 of The Kershner Files, Dave discusses some more preparedness adjacent topics. He starts the show with an “On the Road with Steve” segment that dovetails into a further discussion of the EPA standards that will wreck our trucking industry and the supply chain along with it. But that's not enough for the left as Dave ties together a number of current events to further prove his most recent salient point regarding the left and their agenda to destroy this nation from within. He closes the show by playing some preparedness videos regarding chem trails, sweet potatoes, water filtration using cat tails, and runner ducks.

Since fleeing Communist Poland and arriving in the USA in 1984, Drago Dzieren has daily pledged to become a better American in gratitude for his life here. He describes growing up in post-war Soviet-controlled Poland, where he and his family knew fear, hunger, and oppression. Jailed for being part of the Soviet-toppling Solidarity movement, he relates what it is like to speak out against censorship and totalitarian rule. He then jumped at the chance to emigrate to the U.S. and live in our free and open society, and in 1991 he both proudly became a citizen and joined the U.S. Navy. During his distinguished career as a SEAL on Teams 2 and 4, he was part of over 100 direct combat missions as a lead breacher in Iraq. This is his amazing story.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer: Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonOrchestra & Score provided by www.ExtremeMusic.com

In her new book “Countdown to Socialism”, Anthea Jeffery removes scales from the eyes of those who have ignored the ANC's pursuit of a blueprint for SA economic disaster - the National Democratic Revolution plan devised by Soviet Union bureaucrats in the 1950s. Jeffrey, head of policy research at the Institute of Race Relations, explains how the NDR originated from Soviet ideologies aimed at shifting newly independent African and Asian, primarily capitalist countries, to socialism. Despite the Soviet Union's dissolution three decades after the economic collapse, Jeffery asserts that the ANC and its supporters remain in an obsessive pursuit of the NDR, despite its now well-exposed pitfalls and record of economic destruction and creating misery. She also warns those in the private sector rallying to the government's call to support the failing SA economy that they are being misled and will be dispensed with as soon as it suits Pretoria's socialist agenda. She spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Drago Dzieran was born in Poland while under Communist rule and, after spending time in a Communist prison for his activism against the socialist oppression, immigrated to the United States in 1984. He became a US citizen in 1991 and enlisted in the Navy that same year.During his Navy career, he was a member of SEAL Team 2, SEAL Team 4, and a BUD/S instructor at Naval Special Warfare Center in Coronado, California. He performed over one hundred combat direct action missions as an NSW Lead Breacher while deployed to Iraq in 2003, 2004, and 2005, where he developed new breaching methods and a specialized breaching charge that minimized fragmentation and reduced potential injuries to non-combatants on target. This breaching charge allowed SEAL assault elements a smaller stand-off distance from the explosive breach and became widely used by SEALs throughout Iraq, saving many non-combatants' lives. Dzieran was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with “V” Device for Valor, the Navy Commendation Medal with “V” Device for Valor, and the Army Commendation Medal, along with other awards and decorations.   The Pledge to America Book linkSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vladimir Lenin is one name that is known across the world. Rising to power during the Russian Revolution and Civil War, he was the first Communist dictator in history and the architect of the Red Terror - a deadly campaign of political oppression and execution carried out in the earliest years of Soviet Russia. But contrary to his self-avowed image as champion of the proletariat, Lenin was actually raised in an upper-middle-class family of Russian monarchists, with little to mark him out as a future revolutionary.In this episode James is joined by Victor Sebestyen, a renowned historian of Communism and Russian History. Together they examine the life of Lenin, from his privileged upbringing to his exile in the UK & Europe, and finally to his triumphant return to the motherland during the October Revolution that heralded a the Soviet Era. Looking at the events that shaped Lenin's political mind, it raises the question - was Lenin always destined to usher in a new age of Russian history?Victor's book is available here.For more Warfare content, subscribe to our Warfare newsletter here.

During its time as a Soviet republic within the USSR, Kazakhstan was the site of massive nuclear tests, both above and below ground. The cost to the environment and health of the Kazakh people and livestock was likewise massive, though the full scale of the effects was under-studied and suppressed for decades. Through massive public protests in the 1980s, nuclear-weapons testing in the Semipalatinsk region of Kazakhstan was brought to a halt. But when the Soviet Union dissolved and Kazakhstan became a sovereign state, it now had a conundrum: Should the country—which had no military of its own—retain the nuclear weapons and become the world's fourth largest nuclear power, or relinquish them in return for international commitments? This is the story that Togzhan Kassenova was born to write. The nuclear policy and nonproliferation expert grew up in the capital city, Almaty, in a family with deep ties to the Semipalatinsk region. Her father, Oumirserik Kassenov, was the head of the country's first think tank, now known as the Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies, and he was charged with helping the fledgling Kazakh government make nuclear policy decisions in the 1990s. Kassenova—who now lives in a different capital city, Washington, D.C.—was also able to access and interpret archival documents from the United States, Kazakhstan and Russia. The result is Atomic Steppe: How Kazakhstan Gave Up the Bomb. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Kassenova and the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles discuss the challenges of writing about top-secret nuclear test programs; the brave Soviet-era medical professionals who sought to record the sicknesses and birth defects caused by nuclear radiation; and the connections between the communities in Kazakhstan and the United States impacted by nuclear testing. She also sheds light on the real international diplomacy that took place that led to Kazakhstan giving up its nuclear arsenal, which was not a foregone conclusion. Atomic Steppe was released only nine days before Russia invaded Ukraine. Kassenova also discusses the parallels between Ukrainian and Kazakh experiences, the Russian attitudes towards the former Soviet republics, and what the international community can do about the threat nuclear weapons still pose today.   Special thanks to our sponsor, Posh Virtual Receptionists.
