Episode #16 What is Russia made of
Warning! This episode contains explicit language and my personal feelings and opinions Today I wanna talk about Russian geography, what parts is my country made of, what are they called and why.

Episode #14 Schools in Russia
This episode contains explicit language and a shitton of my personal feelings and opinions.

Episode #9 Top 5 Moscow parks – â„–â„–5-3
I decided to take an episode break from Moscow history because really there’s so much of it, it’s slightly… well, not really slightly overwhelming. So to relax a little I wanted to talk about my most favourite thing in Moscow and actually anywhere – the parks. But turns out one can’t just sit down and…
