Hello and welcome to a slash fanfic podcast, a dual joint session between the minds of

Poddam America and the anti-Fada.

We have had a joint location, a cooperative headquarters for a few years now, but we are melding minds.

We're mind melding, yeah.

That's right.

On a topic that I find very interesting, let's just jump right into it, and that is

the Nikki Bookes, as I call him.

Nikki Bookes, the Book Man.

Yeah.

Nikolai Bukharan, who I asked Sean to do this episode like six months ago, something like that,

a long time ago, because I, during my, the end of my days at RT America, I got interested in Stephen Cohen to sort of figure out the whole Ukraine situation, you know, people have different views on him and his perspective on it.

And one of his early works that doesn't get as much attention, but is generally regarded as a very

good one, prolific, is Bucharine and the Bolshevik revolution, a political biography from 1888

to 1938 to 1938.

So I ordered that on Amazon, I've been reading it, and, you know, I like to let books, I kind of have a slow road to

book completion. It's not the royal road to science. It's the slow route to completion. You got to

let it matriculate. Right. Sure. Yeah know, go bit by bit, piece by piece.

Let it bubble around in your brain a little bit.

Yeah.

It's good.

So this was like a six-monther.

This was a six-month-a.
