TONIGHT: Geography dealt Russia a bad hand, and that is a major reason it has always had a hard time keeping up with the cultural and economic advances in Western Europe. In this discussion we’ll explore the effect geography has had on Russian history, era by era, leading up to the climax of the 1917 Russian Revolution.
