BlomCastAuthor: Philipp Blom
The BlomCast looks at turning points in history, which have always fascinated me. My name is Philipp Blom, I am a historian and broadcaster and author of many books about the Enlightenment, the story of modernity and climate history. The climate catastrophe places us at the greatest historical turning point hin human history. What, if anything, can we learn from moments in the past in which a model of life seemed to change, or had to change, in which whole societies were transformed?If you want to support my work:https://buymeacoffee.com/blomcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2104173/supporthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOowcMCQ_oJtdJeZu3oK6og/joinhttps://www.patreon.com/user?u75561076&utm_mediumunknown&utm_sourcejoin_link&utm_campaigncreatorshare_creator&utm_contentcopyLink Language: en Genres: History, Society & Culture Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

[58] Mark Galeotti — On Russia, Historical Continuity, and the Business of Diplomacy
Episode 27
Sunday, 7 December, 2025
In this episode of the BlomCast, I engage with historian Mark Galeotti to explore the complexities of Russian history, military strategy, and the interplay of crime and society. They discuss the continuities in Russian military tactics, the cultural narratives that shape Russian identity, and the role of the Orthodox Church. The conversation also delves into the impact of globalization on organized crime and the challenges Russia will face post-war, and into the remarkable connections between crime, state-building, and societal norms.Support the show
