Russia 101 with Peter Evgenev part 2: Russian empire.

Check out this 3-part jam with Russian-English interpreter in Moscow, Russia: Peter Evgenev on various topics of interest to English-speakers, about Russia.

Welcome to part II of the III-part special Rashkin Report miniseries: Russia 101 with Peter Evgenev. Peter, is an interpreter and translator in Moscow, Russia. Through stories and different experiences, Peter shares his thoughts on the current state of Russia, compares it to different empires, and shares the telltale signs of a failing empire.

If you are not from Russia, you should listen to these as an example of a conversation between two native Russian speakers, speaking in English, about Russia, frankly and honestly.

If you are from Russia, you should share this with non-Russian English-speakers you know, to decrease the amount of eye-rolling that inevitably occurs when we hear from non-Russians about this crazy enigma wrapped inside a mystery called "Russia".

Russia is a real place with real people who have a mindset that is based on history, geography, politics, race and religion, that is quite different from our experience in the United States. Yet, Russian influence politically has never been greater, and so I feel it makes a lot of sense to understand how Russians think and view the world. At its best, it is often sarcastic, cynical, smart, with a dry sense of humor.
