The Empire's End kicks off a new season of podcast “History is Just Beginning”. In the new cycle, historians continue to argue about the viability of the Russian Empire at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Historians Vladimir Lapin and Amiran Urushadze speak about amazing St. Petersburg, its smells and sounds. 

Historians Amiran Urushadze and Vladimir Lapin discuss the cult and the myths that surround the names of the two admirals.

A new episode of the Podcast "History Is Just Beginning" is on the air. This time the theme is "The Caucasian War: History and Memory".  This war became the longest military confrontation in the history of the Russian Empire. Today it is well remembered in the North Caucasus and hardly remembered at all in the rest of Russia.  Historians Amiran Urushadze and Vladimir Lapin discuss why the Russian Empire fought for the Caucasus for so long and how the mountain people managed to remain undefeated.

Historians Amiran Urushadze and Yulia Safronova discuss how the tsar-liberator is remembered — from the moment of regicide to the present.

As part of EUSP’s history podcasts, a new cycle dedicated to Alexander II has begun. The previous cycle was devoted to the topic of fornication in Russia. Those podcasts can be found here.
