Durante décadas, la Unión Soviética perfeccionó un arma que no necesitaba pólvora, uranio ni satélites: la seducción. Desde las bailarinas del Bolshoi hasta escuelas secretas a orillas del Volga, el KGB diseñó un sistema meticuloso para reclutar, entrenar y desplegar a hombres y mujeres cuya misión era seducir a diplomáticos, militares y políticos occidentales, grabar sus encuentros más íntimos y convertir el placer en chantaje. Las llamaban golondrinas; a ellos, cuervos. Sus nidos eran hoteles de lujo con micrófonos hasta en los lugares más insospechados. En este episodio de Días Extraños recorremos la historia completa del sexpionaje: desde los orígenes bajo Stalin hasta los casos reales que hicieron caer embajadores y destruyeron carreras, pasando por la Stasi y sus Romeos en el Berlín dividido. Y descubriremos por qué esta vieja táctica no solo sigue viva en la era digital, sino que quizá sea más peligrosa que nunca. Porque hay guerras que no se libran en campos de batalla, sino entre sábanas.

La Banque centrale russe se réunit ce vendredi 13 février. Au menu : une baisse de son taux directeur. Officiellement, l'inflation est en recul, mais les Russes disent être contraints de toujours regarder davantage les étiquettes. La Banque centrale va-t-elle continuer sa politique des petits pas sur son taux directeur ? Après avoir atteint un plus haut de 21 % en octobre 2024, pour contrer une économie en surchauffe en raison de l'explosion des dépenses, celui-ci a été abaissé graduellement en 2025 pour atteindre 16 % le 19 décembre dernier. Sur le papier, l'inflation est enfin redescendue en dessous des 10 % en rythme mensuel et la croissance, elle, a très fortement décéléré : elle est prévue à 0,8 % en 2026, selon la dernière analyse du FMI publiée le 19 janvier dernier. Les Russes, eux, au quotidien, disent pourtant faire de plus en plus attention à leurs dépenses en raison de prix élevés. En raison notamment de l'augmentation de la TVA de 20 à 22 % le 1ᵉʳ janvier dernier, mais pas que. Rencontré dans une rue piétonne et commerçante du centre d'Irkoutsk, un jeune homme explique : « La chose la plus remarquable pour moi, personnellement, c'est le tarif du ticket de transport en mini-bus ; il a doublé depuis 4 ans que je vis ici. C'est beaucoup, c'est vraiment beaucoup. À un moment, je me suis même dit : "Mais, tout mon argent liquide a disparu ?!" Je me suis même dit qu'on m'avait volé. En fait, c'est juste que les tickets sont passés de 25 à 50 roubles chacun ».  Que faire ? Pas grand-chose à ses yeux : « C'est l'hiver, il fait -20°C, je ne vais pas aller à l'université à pied. »  À lire aussiComment le conflit en Ukraine change la société et l'économie de la région d'Irkoutsk Faire des choix dans son budget D'autres, dans cette rue dotée de petites boutiques et d'un grand centre commercial au bout, ont en tête que chacun doit désormais faire des choix dans son budget. Comme cette mère de famille venue de la ville de Tchita, à près d'un millier de kilomètres d'Irkoutsk, avec son fils adolescent : « Quand je fais des cadeaux, explique-t-elle, j'essaie que ce soit quelque chose de pratique, par exemple pour la maison. En général, j'offre du textile, des serviettes, des torchons, quelque chose de pratique pour la cuisine. Que ça soit utile, pas juste pour le fun. » Quelques mètres plus loin, on croise une jeune fille pour qui les cadeaux, c'est sacré, et tant pis si elle doit se serrer la ceinture ailleurs. « Quand il s'agit de cadeaux, personnellement, je suis absolument sans limites, parce que je veux vraiment faire plaisir à ceux que j'aime, avec ce que je peux trouver de mieux, dit-elle dans un sourire. En revanche, je suis beaucoup plus prudente quand je fais mes courses au jour le jour. Surtout pour la nourriture. Après tout, on mange tous les jours, autant faire attention à ça. Sinon, il n'y a pas d'issue. » Le petit parti d'opposition Rasvët notait lui, hier, sur son réseau social : « En réalité, les prix peuvent fluctuer considérablement en fonction de la région, du réseau commercial ou de la catégorie de produits. » Ainsi, le coût des concombres dans la région de la Volga peut dépasser 400 roubles, à Omsk, c'est 500 roubles par kilogramme, et à Moscou, certaines variétés de tomates sont à 1 500 roubles. Pour la jeune fille en tout cas : « Cette hausse des prix, c'est vraiment inquiétant. On se demande quand ça va s'arrêter. Et si d'ailleurs ça va s'arrêter un jour. Ce sentiment d'instabilité, ça me préoccupe vraiment. » « On ne voit pas ce que l'avenir nous réserve »   Dans la ville d'Angasrk, à deux heures de route, certains s'inquiètent particulièrement pour les plus fragiles. Dimitri [il a demandé à n'être cité que par son prénom, NDLR] note : « Le prix pour un morceau de pain d'environ 400 grammes était de 44 roubles en décembre et il est passé à 49 en janvier. C'est +22 %, et encore, on parle d'un produit dont le prix est régulé. Et c'est pareil avec le lait, alors que ce sont des produits essentiels. Les prix ont déjà tellement bondi que c'est difficile pour les retraités, avec leur pension de 17 000 roubles. Et que va-t-il encore se passer ensuite ? On ne voit pas ce que l'avenir nous réserve. » Et quand ce n'est pas, encore une fois, l'incertitude sur l'avenir qui est soulevée, c'est une question plus précise qui pointe, comme chez Oleg [lui aussi a demandé à n'être cité que par son prénom, NDLR] : « Je m'inquiète que la population s'appauvrisse. Je pense qu'il va y avoir de moins en moins d'argent en Russie, que les budgets publics vont devoir être revus à la baisse plus d'une fois. Et plus la pression sera élevée, moins il y aura d'argent et plus la nourriture sera chère. » Il y a 10 jours, Vladimir Poutine annonçait que la croissance 2025 avait bien été de 1 %, très en dessous des performances des deux années précédentes. Et demandait à son gouvernement de tout mettre en œuvre pour la faire repartir. À lire aussiNouvelles coupes à venir dans les forêts du lac Baïkal

La ofensiva alemana para capturar Stalingrado comenzó a finales del verano de 1942, en el marco de la Operación Azul o Fall Blau, un intento por parte de Alemania de tomar los pozos petrolíferos del Cáucaso. Un masivo bombardeo de la Luftwaffe redujo buena parte de la ciudad a escombros, mientras las tropas terrestres del Eje debían tomar la ciudad edificio por edificio, en lo que ellos denominaron «Rattenkrieg» ('guerra de ratas'). A pesar de lograr controlar la mayor parte de la ciudad, la Wehrmacht nunca fue capaz de derrotar a los últimos defensores soviéticos que se aferraban tenazmente a la orilla oeste del río Volga, que dividía la ciudad en dos.

¿Te imaginas un Lada, ese coche anticuado, cuadradote y humilde que todos asociamos con la austeridad soviética, adelantando a un BMW o un Mercedes a casi 200 kilómetros por hora en las calles de Moscú? No es el inicio de una novela de ciencia ficción, ni una exageración. Existió de verdad. Hoy vamos a viajar en el tiempo y en el espacio. Cruzamos el llamado “Telón de Acero” para aterrizar en esa época terrible, pero fascinante, de la Guerra Fría, donde nada era lo que parecía. Vamos a destapar uno de los secretos mejor guardados de la antigua URSS: los "Ladas rotativos" de la KGB. Auténticos lobos con piel de cordero diseñados con un único propósito: cazar espías. El contexto: Un vacío en el parque móvil soviético Cuando pensamos en los coches de la Unión Soviética, la imagen se divide en dos extremos. Por un lado, las inmensas limusinas blindadas de los líderes del Partido, los ZIL y los Chaika, dinosaurios de acero reservados para la élite política. Por otro lado, los coches del pueblo: el Zhiguli (nuestro querido Lada), el Moskvitch o el Trabant; vehículos duros, sencillos y fáciles de reparar, pero desesperadamente lentos. Pero existía un problema operativo grave. ¿Qué coche podía usar el KGB para perseguir a un diplomático estadounidense que huía en un potente coche occidental? ¿Cómo podía la Militsiya interceptar a criminales en vehículos de contrabando mucho más rápidos? No podían usar limusinas oficiales porque llamaban la atención, ni los Lada estándar porque no les alcanzaban. La respuesta a este dilema fue clasificada como secreto de estado y tenía nombre de ingeniería alemana: el motor rotativo Wankel. El nacimiento del Proyecto "Arkan" y el SKB RPD Corría el año 1974. Mientras en Occidente marcas como NSU o Citroën abandonaban el motor rotativo por sus problemas de fiabilidad y alto consumo, en la ciudad de Tolyatti, a orillas del Volga, la URSS decidió ir a contracorriente. Se creó una división ultra secreta dentro de la fábrica de AvtoVAZ llamada SKB RPD ("Oficina Especial de Diseño de Motores de Pistón Rotativo"). Al frente pusieron a Boris Pospelov con una misión clara: crear un motor que cupiera en el vano de un Lada estándar, pero que triplicara su potencia. No buscaban eficiencia, suavidad ni ecología. Buscaban potencia bruta para crear lo que en inteligencia se llama un "Q Car" o "Sleeper": un coche invisible por fuera, pero una bestia por dentro. Sin licencias oficiales, recurrieron a la "ingeniería inversa", desmontando motores Mazda y NSU para copiar y adaptar la tecnología. La evolución de los Lada de la KGB. La historia de estos vehículos pasó por varias fases de ensayo y error hasta convertirse en leyenda: VAZ-21018 (1978): El falso comienzo. El primer intento se basó en el legendario "Kopeyka" (el Fiat 124 ruso). Instalaron un motor de un solo rotor (VAZ-311) de 70 CV. Se fabricaron 50 unidades y fue un desastre absoluto. Los sellos de los vértices (apex seals) se desgastaban en días. De esas 50 unidades, 49 rompieron el motor en menos de un mes y tuvieron que ser reequipadas con motores convencionales. VAZ-21019 "Arkan" (1982): El coche de los espías. Aprendiendo del fracaso, dieron el salto al doble rotor con el motor VAZ-411. Este es el verdadero mito. Por fuera era idéntico a cualquier Lada beige o azul pálido, con sus llantas de acero y parachoques cromados. Pero bajo el capó escondía entre 120 y 130 CV. Estamos hablando de la potencia de un Porsche 924 o un Golf GTI de la época, pero en un chasis de los años 60 con frenos de tambor y dirección de piedra. Alcanzaba los 180 km/h y hacía el 0-100 en 9 segundos. Para mantener el secreto, los ingenieros incluso diseñaron escapes restrictivos que "ahogaban" el sonido de turbina típico del rotativo para que, al ralentí, sonara como un viejo motor de pistones. VAZ-21059 y 21079: La era cuadrada. Con la llegada de los Lada "Riva" o "Nova" a mediados de los 80, el KGB actualizó la flota. El motor evolucionó al VAZ-413, rozando los 140 CV. Estos coches, usados también por la policía de tráfico (GAI), tenían una peculiaridad: llevaban dos depósitos de combustible. El consumo era tan disparatado (20-25 litros a los 100 km en persecución) que necesitaban esa reserva extra. Además, eran motores "Kleenex": su vida útil era de apenas 40.000 km. No se reparaban; se tiraban y se ponía uno nuevo. VAZ-2108-91 Samara: El misil final. Ya a finales de la era soviética y con la ayuda de Porsche en el diseño del chasis, nació el Samara rotativo. Con el motor VAZ-415 (más refinado y ligero), este tracción delantera aceleraba de 0 a 100 en 8 segundos y superaba los 200 km/h, humillando a la mayoría de deportivos europeos de su clase. Curiosidades técnicas de una ingeniería extrema: -Arranque ártico. -Lubricación suicida. -Experimentos locos.

Cuando el Domingo llega que mejor que iniciarlo sintonizando Rpa y escuchar un nuevo programa de Un buen día para viajar con grandes sabios que nos llevan por todo el mundo a través de viajes, historia, arte o arqueología…así tenemos por ejemplo a Alberto Campa que una vez más nos hace viajar pero en esta ocasión siguiendo los cauces de los grandes ríos del mundo, el Eufrates, el Nilo, el Ganges, el Danubio, el Volga, el Amarillo, el Congo, o el inabarcable Amazonas serán los auténticos protagonistas de este viaje tan caudaloso…llegan nuestras salidas por España siguiendo la estela de los Paradores y hoy no solo estará Ignacio Bosch director del Parador de Cangas de Onís que es nuestro guía habitual sino que vendrá acompañado de María Gimeno la jefa del departamento de arte y patrimonio artístico de Paradores, y ambos con su sabiduría nos llevan al impresionante Parador de San Marcos en León, con más de 1000 años de historia que nunca dejan indiferente y cuya fachada ya es de por si una auténtica joya arquitectónica...en la segunda hora el listón sigue alto y en la sección de Grandes Personajes de la Historia nos vamos al Siglo de Oro y a una de sus figuras más insignes, el Monstruo de la Naturaleza, el Fénix de Los Ingenios, el gran Lope de Vega, con una obra gigante pero con una vida absolutamente de película, y nos la contará quién seguramente sepa más de él en España, Ignacio Arellano el catedrático de literatura en la universidad de Navarra y director de GRISO el grupo de investigación del Siglo de Oro…y cierre de lujo también con la historiadora y profesora Amalia Trancho que tratará un tema apasionante y poco conocido, el acercamiento a la magia y los magos, partiendo de sus orígenes en el Mundo Antiguo, Grecia y Roma, y su desarrollo en el ámbito judeo-cristiano, para pasar luego a comprender las relaciones entre magia y cristianismo, monjes y obispos magos, es decir la integración de la magia en el seno de determinadas prácticas del cristianismo, sin duda apasionante…dos horas de radio e historia en Rpa!!!

Microcosmos Records presents Gati, a new album by Six Dead Bulgarians — a deep, ritualistic journey where ambient electronics, ethnic instrumentation, and archaic memory dissolve into one continuous flow. The word Gati comes from Sanskrit and can be translated as movement, path, passage, destiny, the migration of the soul. It reflects a worldview where life unfolds as an endless current of transitions and rebirths. This idea resonates with the geography of the Russian North, where countless rivers carry names ending in "-ga" — Volga, Onega, Pinega, Vaga — as if echoing an ancient linguistic and cultural source. Musically, Gati is dense yet meditative. Analog synthesizer drones pulse like slow breathing, while flutes, didgeridoo, trumpet, guitar, ethnic percussion, and deeply rooted folk vocals form a living, organic texture. Field recordings from the archives of Kenozero National Park add a documentary layer, grounding the album in real landscapes, voices, and time. The album's concept revolves around the life and fate of a Russian woman during times of hardship — not as a narrative, but as a state of being. Each track feels like a fragment of memory: intimate, restrained, and quietly powerful. Despite its depth, Gati remains surprisingly accessible — music that can accompany daily life while subtly shifting perception.

The word Gati comes from Sanskrit and can be translated as movement, path, passage, destiny, the migration of the soul. It reflects a worldview where life unfolds as an endless current of transitions and rebirths. This idea resonates with the geography of the Russian North, where countless rivers carry names ending in "-ga" — Volga, Onega, Pinega, Vaga — as if echoing an ancient linguistic and cultural source. Musically, Gati is dense yet meditative. Analog synthesizer drones pulse like slow breathing, while flutes, didgeridoo, trumpet, guitar, ethnic percussion, and deeply rooted folk vocals form a living, organic texture. Field recordings from the archives of Kenozero National Park add a documentary layer, grounding the album in real landscapes, voices, and time. The album's concept revolves around the life and fate of a Russian woman during times of hardship — not as a narrative, but as a state of being. Each track feels like a fragment of memory: intimate, restrained, and quietly powerful. Despite its depth, Gati remains surprisingly accessible — music that can accompany daily life while subtly shifting perception.

La de hoy es de esas historias que me encanta contar. Es sorpréndete, diría que incluso divertida y casi desconocida. La realidad, supera a la ficción. Todo comenzó cuando, tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la fábrica de BMW en Eisenach quedó del lado ruso. Estamos en 1945. Alemania está dividida. El azar ha querido que la fábrica original de automóviles de BMW, en Eisenach, caiga en la zona de ocupación soviética. Múnich, la sede central, está en el lado americano, pero devastada por los bombardeos y con la producción prohibida. La planta de Eisenach está dañada en un 60%, pero conserva lo crucial: maquinaria, planos y personal cualificado para fabricar los modelos de preguerra. El plan soviético inicial era desmantelar todo como reparación de guerra. Pero entonces, el Mariscal Gueorgui Zhúkov, héroe de la URSS, visita la planta. Le mostraron un BMW 321 de preguerra y quedó tan impresionado por su calidad que ordenó reanudar la producción de inmediato. Así nacieron los "BMW Rojos". En noviembre de 1945, sale el primer BMW 321 de posguerra. Le seguirán los míticos BMW 326 y motocicletas como la R35. Se estaban produciendo BMW "oficiales" en una fábrica controlada por los soviéticos (bajo el conglomerado Awtowelo), mientras la "auténtica" BMW en Múnich no tenía permiso para fabricar coches. Mientras tanto, en Múnich, BMW por fin obtiene permiso para reanudar la producción de motocicletas en 1948. Como era de esperar, no les hizo ninguna gracia que una entidad soviética vendiese coches con su marca. Comenzó una batalla legal que terminó en 1952. Los tribunales dieron la razón a la empresa bávara. La fábrica de Eisenach, ya transferida a la RDA (Alemania Oriental), se vio obligada a cambiar de nombre. Así nació EMW: Eisenacher Motorenwerk (Fábrica de Motores de Eisenach). El cambio fue sutil: se mantuvo la forma del logotipo, pero el azul de Baviera fue reemplazado por el rojo del socialismo. La pasión por la competición no se había extinguido. Antes de la guerra, el BMW 328 era una máquina ganadora. Los ingenieros de la RDA, primero como BMW y luego como EMW, revivieron su leyenda, creando los EMW 328 "Rennsport" y compitiendo en Fórmula 2. Pero la ambición llegó más lejos: la Fórmula 1. En 1953, el equipo EMW se presentó en el Gran Premio de Alemania, en Nürburgring. Edgar Barth logró clasificar el coche, pero tuvo que retirarse por problemas mecánicos. Fue la primera y última vez. En la producción de calle, EMW se centró en el EMW 340 (derivado del BMW 326) y el descapotable EMW 327. Sin embargo, estos coches eran complejos y caros. La RDA necesitaba un vehículo popular. En 1955, la producción de EMW cesó y la fábrica de Eisenach se reconvirtió para fabricar los Wartburg, con motores de dos tiempos. Esta historia de la Guerra Fría es un eco de lo que ocurre hoy. En 2022, tras la invasión de Ucrania, empresas occidentales (Mercedes-Benz, Renault) abandonaron Rusia, dejando sus fábricas. Al igual que en 1945, estas plantas quedaron bajo control ruso. La antigua planta de Renault en Moscú, por ejemplo, fue transferida al gobierno. ¿Qué hicieron? Revivir la marca soviética Moskvich. Pero el nuevo "Moskvich 3" no tiene nada de Renault; es un coche chino, un JAC JS4, al que se le cambian los logotipos. La mítica marca Volga también ha resucitado usando como base modelos del fabricante chino Changan. Ambas historias nacen de un conflicto geopolítico. Pero hay una diferencia clave. Los "BMW Rojos" de EMW fueron una continuación: usaron los planos y la ingeniería original de BMW. Los nuevos Moskvich son un reemplazo: coches chinos con emblema ruso. Un reflejo de cómo ha cambiado el mundo.

How does mythology change when we look at them through women's lives?In this episode, Tara chats with P. Lalita Kumari, also known as Volga, one of the most influential feminist voices in Indian literature, and Purnima Rao, the translator of On the Banks of the Pampa, Volga's retelling of Shabari's story from the Ramayana.Volga shares how the idea for Shabari's story first took shape, reflecting on the many women in mythology whose voices have been silenced. She talks about nature, womanhood, and the connection she sees between the two. Purnima speaks about the process of translating Volga's lyrical Telugu prose into English while preserving its essence.Volga also explores her journey as a reader and poet, the challenges of writing as a feminist in the 80s, and how storytelling became her weapon. Purnima discusses her shift from tech to writing, the hurdles of setting up an independent Telugu publishing house, and the need to fill gaps in the literary ecosystem.Together, they look ahead to their upcoming projects, and to Volga's return to contemporary narratives.Tune in to dive into their creative process and literary brilliance.Books mentioned in the episode:Yashodhara: A Novel by VolgaSwetcha by VolgaLiberation Of Sita by VolgaNa Maate Tupaki Toota (in Telugu) by Mallu SwarajyamPainting mentioned in the episode:The Great Departure (Mahabhinishkramana) ‘Books and Beyond with Bound' is the podcast where Tara Khandelwal and Michelle D'costa uncover how their books reflect the realities of our lives and society today.

In 1991, as the USSR broke apart and its population became open to the reforming discourse of Mikhail Gorbachev's reform program of perestroika, Soviet dissident historian Roy Medvedev set the tone for subsequent writing on Leonid Ilich Brezhnev, concluding that he was “a personality so mediocre and a politician so ordinary” that he “quickly disappeared from the political scene and also in the literal and metaphorical sense.” But not for long. When it became clear by the end of the decade that market capitalism and democracy had not improved people's lives, nostalgia for the Brezhnev era rightly raised the question of whether he had been given his just due and unfairly blamed for the shortcomings of the Soviet system. This reversal of fortune also makes clear that no Soviet leader has been as neglected or as misunderstood as Brezhnev and therefore no Soviet party boss is in such need of a fresh historical reassessment. Divided into two parts, my presentation will first make a case for Brezhnev, emphasizing his vision of guaranteeing stability, assuring peace, and letting people live well. Earlier I coined the term “Soviet man of peace,” to characterize Brezhnev. I emphasize this point here, arguing that his dream of wanting to be remembered as an asset for world peace made him a leader who changed the world. In part 2 of my presentation, I zoom in on the Leonid Brezhnev that, as his biographer, I might never know and propose what these unresolved questions might mean. Donald J. Raleigh is the Jay Richard Judson Distinguished Professor of Russian History Emeritus at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He has authored, translated, and edited numerous books on modern Russian history including Revolution on the Volga (1986), Experiencing Russia's Civil War (2002), Russia's Sputnik Generation (2006) and Soviet Baby Boomers (2012). He currently is writing a biography of Soviet leader Leonid Ilich Brezhnev, research for which has taken him to archives in Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the UK, and the US.

There have been enigmatic aerial phenomena reported across the ages, shadowy forms gliding through the heavens that challenge our understanding of the possible, often manifesting as elongated vessels resembling colossal cigars or cylinders, silent and deliberate in their passage. From biblical accounts of fiery chariots descending upon ancient lands to the phantom airships that haunted the American West in the late 19th century, these sightings have sparked debates about secret human inventions, natural illusions, or intelligences from distant stars. Yet, in the frozen isolation of Soviet Siberia, where vast taiga forests conceal secrets and the weight of authoritarian silence stifles inquiry, a cluster of such encounters near the scarred site of history's most mysterious explosion invites profound speculation about what may lurk in the remote heavens.This tale ventures into the remote wilderness surrounding the Tunguska River, a landscape forever marked by the cataclysmic blast of 1908 and later whispered to be a focal point for otherworldly visitations amid the Cold War's veil of secrecy. It encompasses thunderous detonations without craters, massive rotating cylinders birthing fleets of discs, and a witness whose path wove through the gulag's brutality and encounters with forgotten prisoners. At its essence is the 1953 observations of Benjamin Dodin, a gulag inmate whose detailed accounts of these craft not only defied Soviet orthodoxy but also suggested technologies transcending earthly bounds, prompting questions about whether these were clandestine prototypes, extraterrestrial scouts, or autonomous emissaries from multiple cosmic origins surveying our world.Soviet citizens chronicled cigar-esque forms exhibiting physics-defying maneuvers. A 1965 submarine crew beheld a 200-meter entity submerging silently, sonar hissing briefly. 1915 Volga apparitions aligned with wartime Zeppelins, but 1896 San Francisco's ovate craft with voices and searchlights predated known airships.www.mydarkpath.com/76-cigar-shaped-craftRead MF Thomas' novels Like Clockwork https://amzn.to/417lOzyArcade https://amzn.to/4aTpisxA Sickness in Time https://amzn.to/41apSPKSeeing by Moonlight ...

Seeds of Exchange: Soviets, Americans, and Cooperation in Agriculture, 1921–1935 (Northern Illinois UP, 2025) examines the US and Soviet exchange of agricultural knowledge and technology during the interwar period. Maria Fedorova challenges the perception of the Soviet Union as a passive recipient of American technology and expertise. She reveals the circular nature of this exchange through official government bureaus, amid anxious farmers in crowded auditoriums, in cramped cars across North Dakota and Montana, and by train over the once fertile steppes of the Volga. Amid the post–World War I food insecurity, Soviet and American agricultural experts relied on transnational networks, bridging ideological differences. As Soviets traveled across the US agricultural regions and Americans plowed steppes in the southern Urals and the lower Volga, both groups believed that innovative solutions could be found beyond their own national borders. Soviets were avidly interested in American technology and American agricultural experts perceived the Soviet Union to be an ideal setting for experimenting with and refining modern farm systems and organizational practices. As Seeds of Exchange shows, agricultural modernization was not the exclusive domain of Western countries. Guest: Maria Fedorova (she/her) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Russian Studies at Macalester College. She received her PhD in history at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her research focuses on the history of agriculture, food insecurity, US-Russia/Soviet relations, and transnational history.

 This segment focuses on Vikings as conquerors, noting successful raids like the one on Paris, which yielded 7,000 pounds of gold. Around 865 AD, the Great Heathen Army arrived in England, conquering East Anglia, Northumbria, and Mercia. The resulting stalemate with King Alfred led to the establishment of the Danelaw around 878–880 AD, giving Norse people political and legal control over a vast area of England. Norse settlement is evidenced by Old Norse influences in place names within the Danelaw. Barraclough also discusses the eastern expansion of the Vikings—the Rus (rowers), originating from modern Sweden, who moved down the Volga and Dnieper rivers, establishing settlements like Novgorod in 862 AD.

Pendant des siècles, rien n'a autant semé la panique en Europe que l'arrivée des Huns. Ces cavaliers venus des steppes d'Asie centrale ont marqué les esprits par leur brutalité, leur rapidité… et leur mystère. Mais qu'est-ce qui rendait les Huns si redoutés au point de devenir un symbole de terreur dans l'imaginaire collectif européen ?Apparus en Europe vers la fin du IVe siècle, les Huns franchissent le fleuve Volga aux alentours de l'an 370. En quelques années, leur avancée provoque un effet domino : des peuples germaniques fuient devant eux et se réfugient à l'intérieur des frontières de l'Empire romain. Ce mouvement massif de populations déstabilise tout l'équilibre politique de l'époque et contribue au début de la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident.Mais ce qui rendait les Huns vraiment terrifiants, c'était leur manière de combattre. Ce peuple de nomades des steppes maîtrisait l'art de la guerre à cheval comme aucun autre. Le Hun était littéralement élevé sur une selle, capable de tirer à l'arc en galopant à pleine vitesse, avec une précision redoutable. Leur armement — arcs composites, sabres recourbés, masses — était léger mais efficace, parfaitement adapté à des raids éclairs. Ils apparaissaient sans prévenir, pillaient, tuaient, et disparaissaient dans la steppe avant qu'une armée ennemie ait pu réagir.Les chroniqueurs de l'époque — souvent romains ou chrétiens — ont largement noirci leur image. Ils les décrivent comme des barbares inhumains, sales, cruels, défigurés dès l'enfance pour paraître plus effrayants. Bien sûr, ces portraits sont biaisés, mais ils témoignent de l'effet psychologique provoqué par les Huns : ils étaient l'ennemi inconnu, insaisissable, presque surnaturel.Leur chef le plus célèbre, Attila, surnommé le « fléau de Dieu », incarna cette peur à son paroxysme. Sous son commandement, les Huns mettent Rome à genoux sans même avoir besoin de la prendre. Entre 440 et 453, Attila fait trembler l'Empire romain d'Orient et d'Occident, exigeant tribut, pillant villes après villes, et imposant sa loi jusqu'aux portes de Paris.Mais après la mort d'Attila en 453, l'empire hunnique s'effondre rapidement. Leur puissance reposait en grande partie sur le charisme de leur chef et leur cohésion militaire. Une fois celui-ci disparu, les peuples qu'ils dominaient se soulèvent.Les Huns ont disparu de la carte, mais pas de la mémoire. Leur nom reste synonyme de brutalité et de chaos, symbole des forces extérieures capables de faire vaciller un monde pourtant jugé invincible. Voilà pourquoi, des siècles plus tard, le simple mot "Hun" suffit encore à faire frissonner l'Europe. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

El Sexto Ejército espera una batalla fácil, pero la oposición de las fuerzas soviéticas es dura. Pese al domino del aire y la sistemática destrucción de la ciudad, la resistencia no deja tocar el Volga a los alemanes. Lo que había parecido un paseo semanas antes, se está convirtiendo en una pesadilla. La batalla urbana no deja un segundo de respiro a ninguno de los bandos. Y el invierno se acerca... para los dos bandos. Considerada la reina de todas las batallas, marcó el punto de inflexión en el Frente del Este, y probablemente de toda la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El cerco y destrucción del 6º Ejército puso también en retirada a los alemanes del Cáucaso y golpeó fuertemente a la moral alemana, que no pudo recuperarla nunca. Te lo cuentan Pablo González, Antonio Muñoz Lorente, Antonio Gómez y Dani CarAn. ⭐️ ¿Qué es la Edición Especial de Verano?

Today Josh Neal returns to interview J. Otto Pohl on his landmark - but woefully under appreciated - work of historical scholarship The Years of Great Silence. Buy Ottos book here. Follow him on twitter.Buy Josh's book here. Follow him on twitter.Follow me on Substack!From the back of the book: “This monograph provides a detailed yet concise narrative of the history of the ethnic Germans in the Russian Empire and USSR. It starts with the settlement in the Russian Empire by German colonists in the Volga, Black Sea, and other regions in 1764, tracing their development and Tsarist state policies towards them up until 1917. After the Bolshevik Revolution, Soviet policy towards its ethnic Germans varied. It shifted from a generally favorable policy in the 1920s to a much more oppressive one in the 1930s, i.e. already before the Soviet-German war.J. Otto Pohl traces the development of Soviet repression of ethnic Germans. In particular, he focuses on the years 1941 to 1955 during which this oppression reached its peak. These years became known as “the Years of Great Silence” (“die Jahre des grossen Schweigens”). In fact, until the era of glasnost (transparency) and perestroika (rebuilding) in the late 1980s, the events that defined these years for the Soviet Germans could not be legally researched, written about, or even publicly spoken about, within the USSR.”

We're onto our second episode of the year - looking at the story of Islam in Russia! Flying us through the history is Dr Danielle Ross, a specialist of Islamic and Russian-Soviet history at the State University of Utah.  Russia is home to one of the world's largest Muslim populations, with a rich and complex history that stretches back over a thousand years. We start with its early introduction in the Volga region, and travel through the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Crimea. We explore the role of Tatar Muslims, and the shifting policies of Tsars, Soviets, and modern Russia towards their Muslim citizens. Despite periods of repression and revival, Islam remains a vital force in Russia's diverse society today, shaping everything from local traditions to geopolitical dynamics. Join us as we uncover the resilience and contributions of Russia's Muslim communities in this captivating episode.

Los vikingos, esos guerreros nórdicos de aspecto desaliñado y formas rudas recorriendo las costas europeas de saqueo en saqueo, han cautivado la imaginación popular durante siglos. Pero la imagen estereotipada del vikingo con casco con cuernos y hacha en mano, sediento de sangre y botín, es una simplificación contemporánea. Los vikingos, originarios de Escandinavia, fueron algo más que saqueadores: se dedicaron a la exploración y al comercio, colonizaron las islas del Atlantico norte y muchos de ellos se terminaron fundiendo con las poblaciones de otras zonas de Europa construyendo señoríos propios como el de Normandía o el de Sicilia. Su sociedad original estaba organizada en torno a una estructura jerárquica de caudillos, nobles, hombres libres y esclavos que profesaban un religión politeísta, con deidades que muy conocidas en nuestra época como Odín o Thor. Impulsados por una combinación de factores, como la superpoblación en Escandinavia, la búsqueda de nuevas tierras y riquezas, y las luchas de poder internas, los vikingos se lanzaron a la mar en sus versátiles embarcaciones, los drakkars, capaces de navegar tanto por ríos como por mar abierto. Esa expansión empezó en el año 793 cuando un grupo de guerreros del norte saqueó el monasterio de Lindisfarne en la costa norte de Inglaterra. Ese fue el comienzo de lo que se conoce como época de los vikingos, un periodo que duró unos tres siglos y que llevaría a este pueblo del extremo norte hasta el imperio bizantino por el este y Norteamérica por el oeste. Los vikingos se apoderaron de las islas Británicas, desde allí, se aventuraron por el gélido océano ártico y recalaron en Islandia, Groenlandia e incluso llegaron a las costas de América del Norte 500 años antes que Cristóbal Colón. Llegaron incluso a fundar un efímero asentamiento en L’Anse aux Meadows, en la isla de Terranova, a la que llamaron Vinlandia. Hacia el este, los vikingos recorrieron los ríos de las actuales Rusia y Ucrania como el Volga, el Dniéper o el Don trazando rutas comerciales que les condujeron hasta el Mar Negro. Entraron en contacto con Bizancio y el mundo árabe. Su presencia en estas regiones dio origen a la denominación "varegos" dejando de paso las primeras huellas en la formación de los primeros estados eslavos. Hacia el sur, los vikingos asolaron las costas de Francia, Portugal y España, luego se internaron en el Mediterráneo. En el norte de Francia llegaron a asentarse dando lugar al ducado de Normandía, cuyos señores terminarían conquistando Inglaterra a mediados del siglo XI. Los vikingos eran un pueblo tan versátil como sus barcos. Combinaban el saqueo, la conquista y el comercio. Como saqueadores eran implacables y se ganaron merecida fama de bárbaros entre los pueblos del sur del continente, pero como comerciantes demostraron ser muy habilidosos. Eran tratantes de esclavos y llevaban productos del norte muy demandados como la madera, el ámbar o las pieles para intercambiarlos por otros llegados del Mediterráneo y la ruta de la seda. Para ello se valían de sus barcos, extraordinariamente rápidos y maniobrables. El impulso vikingo se fue apagando con el tiempo. A finales del siglo XI el cristianismo ya había llegado a Escandinavia, lo que permitió que aquella tierra se integrase dentro de la cristiandad europea adoptando con ello su cultura y estilo de vida. Durante siglos no se volvió a hablar de ellos hasta que durante el romanticismo fueron recuperados y comenzó su estudio en serio por parte de los historiadores.
