Listen as Paul, Marlo, and Tom delve into the evolution of Russian conservative thought spanning the early nineteenth century to the contemporary era.

By exploring cultural, political, and socio-economic conservatism in Russia, he asserts that these ideas provide valuable insights into both Russia's historical trajectory and its current state. Furthermore, it suggests that understanding Russian conservatism is crucial for anticipating the nation's future developments, indicating potential influences, whether positive or negative, in the years ahead.
