I am sure you will both like this lecture by Joachim Pissarro …

Russian History Museum has just done a part 2 with Joachim Pissarro (airing today their time) and I expect it to be uploaded to youtube in the next few days. It is titled “Rise and Fall of an Ideology: From Utopia to Dissent”.

They had announced a talk by Dr. Thomas P. Hodge titled “Ivan Turgenev: Russian Turmoil, Russian Nature” but it must have fallen through or been censored.

Eric would also be interested in the book “Return to Moscow” by Tony Kevin. I just grabbed this review at random …

As for the rest of the talk, I found much of it to be an inversion of historical reality and I was disappointed.
