Podcasts about tsars

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans Les Fabuleux Destins, le podcast pour découvrir des histoires vraies et étonnantes. Cette semaine découvrez l'histoire fascinante de Sidney Reilly, un espion dont la vie semble tout droit sortie d'un roman d'aventures. Au début du 20e siècle, cet homme, connu sous le nom de « l'espion le plus mystérieux du monde », a mené des missions risquées au cœur des intrigues internationales. De l'Empire russe aux couloirs du pouvoir britannique, Reilly a navigué entre trahisons et secrets d'État, sa vie oscillant entre génie du renseignement et homme en fuite. Au service secret de sa majesté  En 1899, Sidney Reilly, espion britannique né Rozenblum, revient dans sa Russie natale, une ville figée par l'hiver, mais bouillonnante d'agents étrangers et de jeux de pouvoir. Missionné pour infiltrer l'élite militaire et politique, il se retrouve pris entre la Russie des Tsars, les ambitions japonaises et… ses propres intérêts. De Saint-Pétersbourg à Port Arthur en passant par les usines allemandes, Reilly joue double-jeu et accumule les risques.  Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Clément Prevaux Voix : Florian Bayoux Production : Bababam Learn more about your ad choices.

How did a small forest principality become the largest country on Earth?

The Origins of the Russian Imperial Project in UkraineIn 1888, a statue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky was raised in Kyiv, symbolizing his dual role as a Ukrainian founding father and a figure who united Ukraine with Russia through a 17th-century allegiance to the Tsar. While Khmelnytsky sought protection, the Tsars viewed the alliance as a means to dismantle Ukrainian culture and freedoms. By 1783, under Catherine the Great, this evolved into an Imperial Project, where "New Russia" was established through colonization and the forced integration of southern Ukraine and Crimea. This historical tension underpins the modern debate over Ukrainian sovereignty versus Russian dominance. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. (1/8)1840

Offerte par le roi de Prusse au tsar de Russie Pierre le Grand en 1716, cette chambre recouverte d'ambre, d'or et de pierres précieuses fut l'un des trésors de la Russie impériale. En 1945, les nazis démonteront les panneaux sculptés qui ornaient les murs du palais Catherine près de Saint Pétersbourg. Depuis, on recherche les morceaux disparus de la chambre d'ambre. Plongez dans les mystères d'une des plus grandes énigmes du XXe siècle. Crédits : Lorànt Deutsch, Éric Lange.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

A mini-episode that paying Patrons heard as part of their Twelve Days of Shadowy Christmas bonuses. Forget the cliché that Russians accept power without protest, I sit down with author and analyst Anna Arutunyan to unpack a more complicated truth from her book Rebel Russia: Russia's past is full of uprisings and dissent, yet weak social solidarity keeps those bursts of courage from becoming lasting institutions. When no stable forums exist for bargaining between citizens and the state, pressure builds, revolutions erupt, and the reset button gets slammed—often wiping out the very spaces needed for democracy to grow.The book, Rebel Russia: Dissent and Protest from the Tsars to Navalny, was published last year by Polity Press, in both hardback and e-book formats.The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

Geoffrey Roberts notes Stalin studied Bismarck as a modernizer but learned power politics from Lenin, not Machiavelli, viewing Tsars as strong state builders despite their capitalism.1942

THE BRUTALITY OF INVASION AND THE FAILURE OF INTELLIGENCE Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. Batchelor and Finkel discuss the historical roots of Russian cruelty in Ukraine, citing a 1932 letter from Stalinfearing the loss of Ukraine. Finkel argues that Russian leadership, from the Tsars to Putin, views human life as cheap and uses violence to maintain control over the land, regardless of casualties. Regarding the 2022 full-scale invasion, Finkel suggests Putin was isolated in an echo chamber of yes-men and myths, expecting a quick policing operation rather than a war. The invasion was driven by the refusal to accept Ukrainian statehood, not legitimate fears of NATO. NUMBER 71920 SOVIET UKRAINE

Virginie Girod vous emmène à bord du Transsibérien, le train mythique des tsars.Au milieu du XIXe siècle, le gouverneur général de la Sibérie Orientale imagine la création d'une ligne ferroviaire de 9000 kilomètres reliant Moscou à Vladivostok, afin, notamment, de créer un trait d'union entre les peuples de l'immense territoire russe. Mais le projet ne convainc pas le tsar. Quelques années plus tard, la publication d'un livre de Jules Verne va contribuer à changer la donne. En 1891, le chantier est inauguré. Un quart de siècle durant, 90 000 hommes participent à l'aventure titanesque du mythique Transsibérien. Au Cœur de l'Histoire est un podcast Europe 1. - Présentation : Virginie Girod- Production : Armelle Thiberge- Réalisation : Nicolas Gaspard- Composition du générique : Julien Tharaud- Visuel : Sidonie Mangin Hébergé par Audiomeans.

1. Khmelnytsky and the Russian Imperial Project The discussion begins with the 1888 statue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky in Kyiv, symbolizing the 200-year quest to dominate Ukraine. Khmelnytsky, a 17th-century Orthodox nobleman, led a rebellion against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to protect the Orthodox Church and create a proto-Ukrainian state. Unable to win against Poland, he swore allegiance to the Tsar of Moscow, leading Russians to celebrate him as the unifier of Ukraine and Russia. Khmelnytsky intended a military alliance, but the Tsars viewed it as Ukraine fully joining Russia, gradually dismantling Cossack freedoms. By 1783, coinciding with the US Peace of Paris, Catherine the Great formalized Russia's imperial project, expanding to the Black Sea and integrating Crimea. Russia treated Ukraine as a colonial project, calling it "New Russia" and inviting diverse European settlers, seeking to force these people to become Russian, which Ukrainians resisted, forming the core of ongoing conflict. 1859 ODESSA

Today we bring you a bonus episode on Vladimir Putin, digging deeper into who he really is and what makes him tick.Tony and his expert guests Mark Galeotti and Anna Arutunyan unpick the man from the myth. They discuss how Putin is a pragmatic, cautious leader, shaped more by circumstance than by ideology, as Anna says, “he is very much driven by the needs of the moment, and this is why you'll see very different iterations of Putin throughout his rule. He was not always this quasi-imperialist that we see today.” Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinson Producer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzg With Mark Galiotti | X @MarkGaleotti Honorary professor at UCL and director of the consultancy Mayak Intelligence, Mark has been studying Russia since 1988 and was banned indefinitely from it in 2022.‘Downfall: Putin, Prigozhin, and the fight for the future of Russia' (Ebury/Penguin, June 2024)'We Need to Talk About Putin: How the West gets him wrong' (Penguin, 2019) Anna Arutunyan | X @scrawnya Russian-American writer who spent two decades as a journalist in Moscow, where she wrote for The Moscow News and other publications around the world.

Vladimir Putin casts a shadow over our lives, but it wasn't always that way, there was a time when the West was in love with Putin, so what's happened? Today Tony and his guests Mark Galeotti and Anna Arutunyan unpick the man from the myth.They discuss how Putin was shaped by a tough childhood in Leningrad, his KGB years and formative time in East Germany, how he rose through the political ranks in the 1990s as a ‘everyone's favourite bag-man', until he was hand-picked to be Yeltsin's successor. At first President Putin restored order and wealth to a chaotic Russia, but he also built a system of fear and cronyism around him, similar to a Medieval court. They argue that once he could have been remembered as a stabiliser, instead he is now viewed as a paranoid strongman, whose need for control has dragged Russia into repression and conflict.Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinson Producer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzg With Mark Galiotti | X @MarkGaleotti Honorary professor at UCL and director of the consultancy Mayak Intelligence, Mark has been studying Russia since 1988 and was banned indefinitely from it in 2022.‘Downfall: Putin, Prigozhin, and the fight for the future of Russia' (Ebury/Penguin, June 2024)'We Need to Talk About Putin: How the West gets him wrong' (Penguin, 2019) Anna Arutunyan | X @scrawnya Russian-American writer who spent two decades as a journalist in Moscow, where she wrote for The Moscow News and other publications around the world.

There are many stereotypes about Russia. But perhaps one of the strangest is that Russians prefer a strong hand, are politically passive, even apolitical, and rebellion just isn't in their DNA. This belief requires a hefty dose of historical amnesia. Many of Russia's most memorable historical figures–Stenka Razin, Pugachev, the Decembrists, the People's Will, Lenin, Sakharov, Alexei Navalny, to name a few, were rebels. Not to mention, Russia has experienced three revolutions over the last century–1905, 1917, and 1991. Rebellion, in fact, is an integral part of Russia's history, and the rebel often leads the dance with the Tsar. What is rebellion? Who are these rebels? What makes them? And how do they shape the Russian political system? These are questions that resonate in Russia and beyond. So the Eurasian Knot invited Anna Arutunyan on the pod to discuss the figure of the rebel in her new book, Rebel Russia: Dissent and Protest from Tsars to Navalny published by Polity.Guest:Anna Arutunyan is a Russian-American journalist, analyst, and author. She served as senior Russia analyst for the International Crisis Group before leaving Russia in 2022 and is the author of five books about the country, its politics, society and wars. Her new book is Rebel Russia: Dissent and Protest from Tsars to Navalny published by Polity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you're a fan of the show, you know I love a good concept album. And when I found out there were local Indy prog musicians creating a concept album just down the road from me? I had to have them over to discuss it! This episode, I sat down with StarChaser, the medium-bending band led by the visionary Kara Tucker (vocals/guitar) and her husband Nick Tucker (bass/guitar). Dorian Phelps rounds out the trio on drums. More than just musicians, Nick and Kara bring together art, fashion, and storytelling to create a world around their music. Since Kara and Nick are locals, I actually got to have them over to the Michael's Mixdown studio for an in-person chat! In this conversation, they share how their artistic backgrounds shape StarChaser's identity, from the bold visual aesthetics and stage presence to the deeply personal stories woven into their lyrics, and the music they love that inspires them. Whether you're drawn in by the sound, the look, or the stories behind it all, this episode offers a closer look at the creative heartbeat of Indianapolis' own StarChaser.All the links!https://www.youtube.com/@JuJu_StarChaserhttps://starchaser1.bandcamp.com/album/tsars-of-the-universehttps://www.instagram.com/jujustarchaser/Find my other show, The Custodians, here: https://shows.acast.com/the-custodians Hosted on Acast.

Nous sommes le 31 octobre 1803. Alexandre 1er, empereur de Russie, grand-duc de Finlande et roi de Pologne, octroie à Nikolaï Karamzine, un titre inédit. Un titre que personne d'autre ne portera après lui, celui d'historiographe officiel de la Russie. Mais qui est l'homme qui mérite cet honneur ? Karamzine a trente-six ans à cette époque, il a voyagé dans l'Europe des Lumières et assisté, pratiquement en direct, à la Révolution française. A son retour, il se fixe à Moscou, crée un journal et publie des œuvres dans la veine que l'on dira du « sentimentalisme ». C'est un ambitieux qui s'est donné pour projet de réformer la langue littéraire de son pays natal. Une langue qu'il juge ampoulée, manquant de simplicité. Mais son grand œuvre, celui qui va supplanter tous les autres, sera de raconter l'histoire de la mère patrie. En exalter la grandeur mais aussi en dénoncer les failles. Mais, s'il croit profondément en la nécessité d'éduquer le peuple, il argumente aussi en faveur du maintien du servage. S'il dénonce la tyrannie des tsars, il reste opposé à l'avènement d'une République. La parution de sa colossale « Histoire de l'Etat russe » sera retentissante, et son auteur s'attirera foudre et admiration. Et pourtant, aujourd'hui, Karamzine est peu lu dans son pays et peu traduit ailleurs. Qu'a-t-il à nous dire qui nous éclaire encore ? Partons sur ses traces ? Avec nous : Julie Bouvard, diplômée de l'Université de la Sorbonne Paris IV en littérature russe. Traductrice du texte intitulé « Ma confession » de Nikolaï Karamzine, aux éditions Kniga-Lamiroy. Sujets traités : Nikolaï Karamzine, Russie, Europe, lumières, Révolution française, Moscou, tsars, oeuvre Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Virginie Girod vous emmène à bord du Transsibérien, le train mythique des tsars. Au milieu du XIXe siècle, le gouverneur général de la Sibérie Orientale imagine la création d'une ligne ferroviaire de 9000 kilomètres reliant Moscou à Vladivostok, afin, notamment, de créer un trait d'union entre les peuples de l'immense territoire russe. Mais le projet ne convainc pas le tsar. Quelques années plus tard, la publication d'un livre de Jules Verne va contribuer à changer la donne. En 1891, le chantier est inauguré. Un quart de siècle durant, 90 000 hommes participent à l'aventure titanesque du mythique Transsibérien.

From the introduction of North Korean troops into the war in Ukraine to a budding friendship with Elon Musk, Putin continues to make strange headlines. The real question is whether Putin actually knows what he's doing or if he, as a wannabe 21st century Russian Tsar, is subject to the same seemingly inevitable historical forces as the Tsars of yesteryear. As both a seasoned Putin watcher and the author of many books about Russia, Mark Galeotti is as well positioned as anyone to determined if Putin is a prisoner or a master of history. Churchill famously described Russia as "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." In his new book, Forged in War: A Military History of Russia from its Beginnings to Today, however, Galeotti unwraps this mystery by seeing Russia as an eternal prisoner of its geo-strategic vulnerabilities and thus, like Putin, always insecure, land-hungry and bellicose. Professor Mark Galeotti is one of the foremost Russia-watchers today, who used to travel there regularly to teach, lecture, talk to his contacts, and generally watch the unfolding story of the Putin era, until the Kremlin banned him indefinitely in 2022. Based in the UK, he is an Honorary Professor at UCL and heads the consultancy Mayak Intelligence. He is also a Senior Associate Fellow with both RUSI and the Council on Geostrategy, as well as a Senior Non-Resident Fellow at the Institute of International Relations Prague. Before then, he was Professor of Global Affairs at NYU and head of History at Keele University, and was educated at Robinson College, Cambridge, and the LSE. A prolific author on Russia and security affairs, he frequently acts as consultant to various government, commercial and law-enforcement agencies.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

The bellicose and authoritarian Russian state's propaganda exploitation of the anarcho-pacifist novelist Leo Tolstoy is an obvious and perverse irony. But a less obvious irony also presents itself. Like all fascist regimes, that of Vladimir Putin is stigmatizing and even criminalizing homosexuality and other sexual "deviance." Following alarming reports of "concentration camps" for gay men in the Russian republic of Chechnya, Moscow began to impose an anti-gay agenda nationwide. A 2020 constitutional reform officially enshrined "traditional marriage," while a "gay propaganda law" imposes penalties on any outward expression of gay identity, resulting in police raids on Moscow gay bars. The "LGBT movement" has been designated a "terrorist organization"; media depictions of same-sex love are banned as "deviant content." Yet the venerable littérateur now glorified as a symbol of Russian nationalism may have himself been gay. In Episode 249 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg interviews Javier Sethness Castro, author of Queer Tolstoy: A Psychobiography (Routledge 2023). In one sickening propaganda display, Tolstoy's photo was dramatically plastered by Putin's regime onto a barrier fence erected around the Mariupol Drama Theater—a civilian refuge that was bombed during the initial invasion of the Ukrainian port city in March 2022, leading to hundreds of deaths (including many children). By contrast, Marta Albertini, Tolstoy's great-grand daughter, hosts Ukrainian refugees in Switzerland. Sethness Castro notes that some contemporary Ukrainian ant-war writers are in the actual tradition of Tolstoy. Victoria Amelina, a Ukrainian poet and war-crimes investigator who was killed in a missile attack on a pizzeria in Kramatorsk in 2023, wrote the book Dom's Dream Kingdom, narrated from the perspective of a dog who watches his human family struggle over Ukrainian history. This is reminiscent of Tolstoy's short story "Strider," an early harbinger of the animal rights movement, which is written from the perspective of a horse. Another link to Tolstoy in the news is the British Columbia government's recent apology to the Doukhobors, a Russian dissident religious sect, for forcibly assimilating their children in the 1950's. Tolstoy supported the Doukhobors, who were persecuted by the Tsars for their pacifism, and even wrote Resurrection (1899) to finance their migration from the Russian Empire to Canada. His son Sergei Tolstoy and biographer Aylmer Maude led the resettlement, and Peter Kropotkin (another paradoxical anarchist aristocrat) also encouraged it. A reassessment of Tolstoy's sexuality is apropos at this moment in light of recent challenges raised against millennia of Christian homophobia. In any case, Tolstoy's anti-militarism provides important perspectives for our current moment, with multiple genocides ongoing, and humanity on the knife's edge due to the risk of escalating regional wars in both Europe and the Middle East.

Nous sommes le 17 février 1880 à Saint-Pétersbourg. Ce jour-là, une gigantesque explosion ravage un étage entier du palais des tsars. L'événement provoque la panique dans la capitale impériale. Elle est l'œuvre d'un nommé Khaltourine, membre du groupe « la Volonté du Peuple ». Cela fait déjà quelques années que ses camarades et lui clament, haut et fort, qu'ils ont l'intention d'assassiner Alexandre II et de mettre fin au régime autocratique. Cet attentat est un tournant dans le combat mené contre le mouvement révolutionnaire. Une commission de lutte contre les crimes d'Etat est instituée. Elle donnera naissance à l'Okhrana, une police secrète, qui va tisser des réseaux à travers l'Europe entière, formant des agents provocateurs, des espions engagés dans la traque des exilés politiques dont elle fait des terroristes. Une véritable machine répressive ne reculant devant aucun moyen : fausses conspirations, interception de correspondances, corruption de la presse et aussi collaboration avec les organes de sécurité d'autres pays. En quoi l'Ohkrana peut-elle être considérée comme la mère de toutes les polices politiques ? Pourquoi sera-t-elle incapable d'endiguer le tumulte révolutionnaire ? De quelle manière a-t-elle façonnée la Russie que l'on connaît aujourd'hui ? Invité : Alexandre Sumpf , maître de conférences à l'Université de Strasbourg.

Britain and Russia maintained a frosty civility for a few years after Napoleon's defeat in 1815. But, by the 1820s, their relations degenerated into constant acrimonious rivalry over Persia, the Ottoman Empire, Central Asia--the Great Game--and, towards the end of the century, East Asia. The First Cold War: Anglo-Russian Relations in the 19th Century (Hurst, 2024) presents for the first time the Russian perspective on this 'game', drawing on the archives of the Tsars' Imperial Ministry. Both world powers became convinced of the expansionist aims of the other, and considered these to be at their own expense. When one was successful, the other upped the ante, and so it went on. London and St Petersburg were at war only once, during the Crimean War. But Russophobia and Anglophobia became ingrained on each side, as these two great empires hovered on the brink of hostilities for nearly 100 years. Not until Britain and Russia recognized that they had more to fear from Wilhelmine Germany did they largely set aside their rivalries in the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, which also had major repercussions for the balance of power in Europe. Before that came a century of competition, diplomacy and tension, lucidly charted in this comprehensive new history. Learn more about your ad choices.

For a country that features so prominently in the news and so wildly in many conspiracy theories, Russia is a country that many Americans—especially many in the press—scarcely understand. Dan Mahoney's new review essay in CRB gives a clarifying survey of major trends, challenges, and attitudes in Russian politics since the days of the Tsars. Without emotional theatrics but with moral clarity, Mahoney equips readers with resources for a fuller understanding of Russia's past and its possible future.

Une seule personne détient le pouvoir absolu. Comment cette pratique personnelle du pouvoir a-t-elle traversé les siècles, jusqu'à Vladimir Poutine ? Pour en parler, Virginie Girod reçoit Pierre Gonneau, professeur à Sorbonne Université et directeur d'études à l'École pratique des hautes études, spécialiste du monde russophone et auteur de La Guerre Russe ou le prix de l'Empire. D'Ivan le Terrible à Poutine (Tallandier). En 1453, la chute de Constantinople marque la fin de l'empire Byzantin. La Russie moscovite reprend le flambeau impérial. “Le tsar russe est l'héritier de l'empereur byzantin. C'est un seul monarque universel qui a vocation à diriger tous les chrétiens, en particulier les chrétiens orthodoxes” explique Pierre Gonneau. La Russie n'est pas encore l'immense territoire que l'on connaît aujourd'hui. Coincé entre la Volga et son affluent l'Oka, Moscou doit d'abord procéder à un “rassemblement des terres russes” divisées en principautés, prélude à son expansion. Le règne d'Ivan le Terrible (1530-1584), le premier à se faire officiellement couronner tsar, est une rupture dans l'histoire russe : “ça devient le monarque absolu, l'autocrate. (...) Tout le pouvoir vient de lui et ne peut être que délégué. Il n'y a pas de contrepoids”. Les tsars et tsarines vont régner plus de 350 ans sur la Russie, installant progressivement l'idée d'une monarchie populaire dans laquelle le souverain affiche sa proximité avec le peuple. L'empire laisse une marque profonde dans l'histoire russe. Dans l'Union Soviétique qui lui succède, l'autocratie perdure. Même si en principe le pouvoir est collégial, “dans les faits, aussi bien Lénine que Staline vont gouverner en autocrate” souligne Pierre Gonneau. Selon l'historien, la Russie contemporaine s'est éloignée du régime présidentiel pour revenir à une forme d'autocratie. Vladimir Poutine, héritier de la puissance des tsars ? “Il y a la peur du déclin qui joue comme un réflexe, pour dire qu'il faut éviter tout ce qui est morcellement. (...) C'est l'un des arguments de Poutine pour rétablir la verticale du pouvoir”.

Who were the rulers of Russia prior to the 1917 Revolution? How accessible were they to the ordinary peoples of the Russian empire? How did a foreign-born princess manage to secure absolute power in St Petersburg, and what impact did the Napoleonic Wars have on tsarist influence? Speaking to Danny Bird, Simon Sebag Montefiore answers listener questions about the Russian tsars, from the ancient origins of their regal title to the monarchy's dramatic collapse.
