Hello and welcome to andallthat.co.uk’s new podcast series: Meet the Historians. Over the course of this first series I will be talking to a number of historians who have written about the Soviet Union and finding out a bit more about their historical methods and approaches. I will also be exploring their interpretations of key topics such as: Stalin’s wartime leadership; the effectiveness of Khrushchev’s de-Stalinisation programme; and the reasons for the breakup of the USSR. The series will be available to download as a podcast at PodOMatic, to subscribe to via iTunes, or as individual episodes here at www.andallthat.co.uk/meetthehistorians
In the first episode of the series, I will be joined by Professor Bill Taubman, author of 'Khrushchev, The Man and his Era.' We will be discussing his historical methods, as well as his views on Khrushchev's motives for reform. We will also have a look at the impact of Khrushchev's personality on his foreign policy and make some links with the current crisis in Ukraine.
