A History of Eastern Europe by Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius
4.0
A lovely cursory overview of Eastern European history from the medieval ages up to a few years ago. This is good for people with any level of background in the subject.
These lectures are well done, giving plenty of historical detail while emphasizing human experience (with emotional stories, plenty of jokes, and an emphasis on the emotional impacts of events and emotional links between people) and a few key ideas that this historian feels define Eastern Europe as a region (uprisings of national groups in the face of adversity, the presence of the past, etc.)
