Stephen Kotkin,s knowledge is amazing👏! 🙏🌷🔥

I can hear the bias in his voice and bias always makes you stupid. You may know more then this guy knows. One year ago he put this out and I would say he is eating shit right now.

It is quite curious the fact that He couldnt define siloviki's main role after affirming several internal structures of power.

Superb talk! Not just for people invested in this historical topic but also as a methodological lesson / tutorial. Personally I feel that the whole "question" is actually two separate, yet combined, issues: Why did the empire of the one party system collapse? Why did the Soviet Union, and the whole "Eastern Block" system disintegrate so rapidly? At least with the 2nd question answer is rather obvious: Both the Eastern block as well as the Soviet Union functioned as a cluster of sovereign states / republics. The Moscow center had to/wanted to (both options are valid for different cases) preserve and work with those political units. Once the central Moscow capital became weak the local forces immediately usurped powers. And this happened even if these powers weren't ethnically homogenous and non Russian. Its a natural tendency of systems. The local branch manager would be happy to become a "boss" and not just an appointed manager, if he feels he can.

Excellent lecture, adding to my knowledge from sources such as Tim Snyder. I was not bored to death at all! Studied 15th, 16th and 20th century European history at school so it's interesting to see those periods in a new light now. Professor Plokhy has authored a number of books, not all of which were mentioned by Dr McGlynn at the start (herself a widely praised author). Sound quality could have been better but as a native English speaker I had no trouble understanding anything

Мялхий, Аьккхий и Кистинцы все чеченцы

You rearranged the chairs on the TITANIC deck...🤣🤣🤣... it's so humorous and deep !!! You are my best Teacher 👍🙏😍

Whatever you agree with Prof Polokhii, he wins my respect by being analytical rather than emotional, as are most Ukrainian diaspora lobbyists

The irony of a guest speaker to a Catholic institution with books on Nietzsche and Marx in the background is not lost on me.

‘Orwell, Graham Greene, and another insignificant Brit.’ I’m tired about equating ‘the west’ with the English speaking world. A corner of the Roman world, the worthless province of Britain, think they are the only heirs of the west and morally superior to the rest. Not my west.

Very nice interviewer, calm and patient, nice voice and language

"IMF, Jeffery Sachs... Let's just leave it at that..." What's a matter Steve? Can't say _George Soros_ ? 😁

Mr. Kotkin. Ive spent 3 years trying to get from 7 year war to yesterday. Thanks for organizing our thought. I probably could not have

Speaking of empires, do you have to have a King n Queen or royal blood?😊

С каких пор сикимдырян стал кавказцем им далеко быть кавказцами они всю жизнь кочуют.

It is so unfortunate to find these videos without English subtitles. Please do something for this. So , researchers interested in Russian history and foreign policy can get benefit from it.

🇷🇺👍🇦🇲 Кавказский татари так называемый азербайджанцы тебе не пускают в азербайджан потому что они кочевники сами всего существует около сто лет , получили от большевиков квартиры зашли и закрылись в нутрии и боятся открыть двери , потому что пришла время что скажут всё хватит, жили больше сто лет, тепер освободите квартиру здесь будут жить другие люди , вот почему везде и повсюду на территории так называемый азербайджана крепко закрыт двери , но это временно, хозяева придут за квартиру, не смотря что улыбаясь обнимаются и целуются .

Блин так тяжело слушать. тем более что вместо исторических ссылок сноски на какие то фильмы ,шабашники,рынок.

If it was a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it would be over at least one year ago. The problem is - Russia's fighting against the US' assertive power that lately has become too assertive and now poses a real danger. Dominic should wake up a little from the Napoleonic wars, here it's totally different time and a different reality.

Disagree on many points. Some facts are wrong. But the lecture is interesting. Thanks!

По анекдоту, чех оказался чеченцем 😂. Александр Искандарян, здравствуйте, скажите пожалуйста, какого чеченского исполнителя вы слушали,заинтриговали. Спасибо. Не знаю как грузины к чеченцам, ну я всегда считал грузин кровно-братским народом, которых разделили религией и интересами.

Зангезур - это Азербайджан! Крым - это Украина! Абхазия и Южная Осетия - это Грузия!Транснистрия(именно Транснистрия, не "Приднестровье" - это Молдова!Кашмир - это Пакистан! Косово - это Сербия! Тайвань - это Китай! Каракалпакстан - Узбекистан!!! Палестина - это Израиль! Слава Украине!😊

This genius makes Obama & Clinton's "Reset Button" with Russia one of the great laughing stock moments in world history.

I listen whenever Doctor Kotkin speaks!

As someone who was there doing business I think you have collectively got it aobut right. That said, i think Putin's increasing control of the media had much to do with the antidemocratic swing post 2004. The soft coup in February 2004 which pushed out Kasyanov was a major turning point that is often ignored. Kasyanov was, to a moderate degree, scapegoated. Moderate because his tax and legal reforms were revolutionary and smalll private businesses thought them revolutionary.. It became possible to be legal and solvent.

Как аферисты гай боша перекочевали с индии и стали кавказцами. Лучше скажите правду и это будет честно.

Чтобы говорит о кочевниках надо Посмотреть на себе В зеркало.у кавказких Народов лицы очень Красивые . Ненадо сказки сочинять.

Искандарян очень Пахож на качевника.

This didn't age well. Ukraine now enlisting women

Lol… russia as a victim of western hostility - what a ridiculous narrative

This war was Putin's plan starting since the decision was made to start the first stage 2014. And yes, the second stage 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine could have Have Been Prevented if we would have reacted properly 2014. But as we did not, showing weakness, putin decided that they will get a way with the second stage 2022. He was wrong... that happens to most dictators...sooner or later.

Умнейший человек,низкий поклон ❤

Дорогого стоит оговорка: литовское кладбище вместо Литовского княжества.

“In Europe there is a people forgotten by historians - the people of Rusyns, Rutenes. They have their own history, different from the history of Poland and even more different from the history of Muscovy. They have their own traditions, their own language, separate from Moscow and Polish. They have a pronounced individuality, behind which is fighting. History must not forget that before Peter I, the people that we now call Ruthenians were called Russians, or Rusyns, and their land was called Rus and Ruthenia. And the people that we now call Russians were called Muscovites, and their land - Muscovy. At the end of the last century, everyone in France and Europe was well able to distinguish Russia from Muscovy "C. Delamard, French politician, 1869

Local Hero, filmed on the Aberdeenshire coast, Scotland shows, if I remember well , a Russian submarine crew member visiting his Scottish girlfriend ...

Уважаемый Александр Искандарян, как Вы говорите вам хорошо известен автор издания атласа этнополитической истории Кавказа - владикавказский историк и социолог Артур Цуциев. Возможно вам так же известен, хотя бы по его историческим трудам, кандидат филологических наук Сатцаев Эльбрус Батрбекович? В своей работе Нартовский эпос и иранская поэма «Шахнаме» он делает вывод о том, что Абу-л-Касим Фирдоуси (упоминаемый вами в этой передаче) в Шахнаме перечисляет все народы, проживающие на Кавказе в его период времени и до этого, в том числе алан, но нигде видит грузин или этого народа с другим этнонимом. Как вы можете прокомментировать мнение Сатцаева Э. Б. ???

33:50 why not? You sure do like to state what and when Russia violated or did wrong.
