Tales from Imperial Russia
History Podcasts
Tales from Imperial Russia is a fortnightly podcast narrating ordinary and extraordinary lives from the Russian Empire. In episodes about 10-30 minutes long, we will avoid the oft-retold stories of emperors and battles to focus on the mostly forgotten lives of individuals from an amazing array of locales, peoples, and circumstances. This podcast is written and performed by Dr James White, a professional historian. For my academic articles, please see: https://ut-ee.academia.edu/JamesWhite
