The Sickle and the Hammer: A Socialist History of the Soviet Union - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The show does an excellent job of introducing concepts, historical figures, and significant events in ways that convey the most pertinent info while keeping the material digestible and breezy. The show carefully builds on the foundations it builds with a subtle artful storytelling that keeps you engaged and excited to learn more. Really a masterclass in educational podcasts. Only 6 eps in and already dreading when I’ll caught up.

I got introduced to this podcast through The Deprogram. Great source of information for the history of the USSR that’s supplementing other books I’m reading. Highly recommend.

Rare topic coverage with even rarer dual language understanding of Russian and English provides absolutely essential information and insight into the most impactful revolution in human history

This is an excellent podcast, easy to follow and that dismantles the propagandist narrative of the west for those who really have an open mind
One of the best I have heard, ever
