Show Notes

Tales from Imperial Russia is a fortnightly podcast narrating ordinary and extraordinary lives from the Russian Empire. In short episodes, we will avoid the oft-retold stories of emperors and battles to focus on the mostly forgotten lives of individuals from an amazing array of locales, peoples, and circumstances.

This podcast is written and performed by Dr James White. For my academic articles, please see: https://urfu.academia.edu/JamesWhite.
