The Empire Strikes Back
Episode 2 of 4
Misha Glenny on the extraordinary story of the Russian empire... and what it means today.
Russia's empire was not like that of Britain or France. It was built by expanding across the land, so much more like the United States of America. Presenter Misha Glenny speaks to James Hill of the New York Times about travelling to the edges, and also to Janet Hartley, author of Siberia: A History of the People. Plus further contributions from Ukrainian academic Olesya Khromeychuk; Anna Reid, author of Borderland; and the Tblisi-based journalist, Natalia Antelava, editor-in-chief at Coda Story.
The producer for 麻豆社 audio in Bristol is Miles Warde.
