Your second favorite show on the RWA network is BACK: Radio Deza, where Kirill talks about obscure history, political theory, conspiracy theories & assorted esoterica. This one is the first part of a new series - taking a look at the national mythology of various limitrophe states and how it distorts actual history.
In Part I, Kirill talks about the Battles of Konotop (1659) & Orsha (1514) and how they play into the new national myth of Ukraine and Belarus, especially regarding the role of Cossacks in Ukrainian nationalist historiography & the Eastern European idea of "European Poland vs Asiatic Muscovy".
