Power struggles have a constant presence in Martin Sixsmith’s story of Russia. Collected here in 50 episodes, he chronicles the Mongol hordes invading in the 13th century, through the iron autocratic fists of successive tsars, to the fall of the Soviet Union and Russia’s re-emergence as a superpower.
Ivan the Terrible, Catherine the Great, Peter the Great - all left their mark on a nation that pursued expansion to the East, West and South. Many tsars flirted with reform, but the gap between the rulers and the ruled widened until, in 1917, the doomed last tsar, Nicholas II, abdicated. After the whirlwind of the revolution, the Bolsheviks struggled to consolidate their victory. To rescue the economy and save the regime, Lenin made concessions to the people. But after his death, Stalin introduced forced collectivisation and industrialisation, condemning the Soviet people to conditions worse than those experienced under the tsars. Nikita Khrushchev reversed the worst excesses of Stalinism, and in 1985 Mikhail Gorbachev embarked on radical reforms of the communist system - unleashing unforeseen consequences that swept him from power and destroyed the USSR.
Martin Sixsmith brings his first-hand experience of reporting from Russia in the 1980s and 90s to his narrative, witnessing the critical moment when the Soviet Union lost its grip on power. He asks if the recurring patterns of Russian history can help us understand what has happened since 1991, when the promise of Western-style democracy aroused so many hopes for change. Eyewitness accounts, archive recordings and personal testimony enrich his narrative, as well as readings from Russian authors and historians such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Vasily Grossman, plus music by Stravinsky, Prokofiev and others.

Great stuff, Ants. The original rogue stateski, currently presided over by the tsar of brinkmanship. The regime seems oblivious at how insecure they appear.

Coming from the BBC, expect a lot of Russophobe stereotypes.

Yeah, I think “irrational fear of Russia” is starting to look slightly less irrational. They’re about to begin their puerile “war games” live-fire exercises a few miles from where I live. And I live in Ireland, ffs.
Putin’s main export is fear. The irony is that the regime itself stinks of fear.

Believe you me, guys: Russsia will be Russia, no matter what. When they’re weak, they’re as meek as a lamb. The moment they feel a bit stronger, the whole story starts anew, which I hope is not the case now…
And this is a Pole speaking, so I do know what I’m talking about.

You Get The Feeling That Putin Would Love to Recreate Soviet Union
January 27th, 2022
The plastic, former KGB man did say, in a 2005 speech, that the fall of the communist empire was “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe” of the twentieth century. Not the creation of that empire, of course. He also reckons (hopes) that liberal democracy is dead. You can take the man out of the KGB…
