Red Star Falling: The Collapse of the Soviet Union
This engaging set of 4 lectures on Modern European History delves into the decline and eventual collapse of the Soviet Union. From the death of Stalin to the beginnings of Vladimir Putin's reign, we will explore key figures such as Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev, with a special focus on the unique premiership of Mikhail Gorbachev. Additionally, we will examine the lives and aspirations of average Russians during the Cold War, as they navigated revolutionary principles alongside their everyday needs and wants, all within a failing economic and political system. This series provides valuable insights that complement our understanding of Soviet Union lectures and the broader context of Third Reich history.

Red Star Falling: The Collapse of the Soviet Union
This set of lectures on Modern European History tracks the fall of Hitler's Germany from 1939 to 1945, focusing primarily on Hitler's domestic political and foreign policy decisions as well as military strategies. We will explore the development of the so-called "final solution to the Jewish question" and the establishment of the German empire as a series of differently organized vassal states, along with a diverse network of camps involving foreign workers, POWs, Jews, and many other individuals deemed "asocials." Additionally, these Soviet Union lectures will follow the course of World War II, with special emphasis on the war in Russia and Hitler's vision for the so-called "living space" in the east, which is a significant aspect of Third Reich history.
