Welcome to Russian history retold episode 212, The Enablers Part 3.

Today we wrap up this series that we did on Patreon.

When Joseph Stalin's Enablers, the men who allowed Stalin to terrorize his country

since he took over and then died in 1953.

I want to announce today something that's interesting and what we're going to do in the future of this podcast or next episode.

And it was presented to me by a listener, Ian G.

And it has to do with Peter III and something that I had never realized.

Ian has proposed that he believes that Peter III was actually autistic.

And when I began to look at his evidence and look at the work that's been written about him,

I had to agree. There was a very distinct possibility that he was.

So in our next episode, we're going to cover that and it's going to come out in a few weeks

because I found it a fascinating subject and I really want to thank him for bringing that to my attention

and also for sending me some really compelling evidence to that fact.

So enjoy today's episode and in a few weeks, if everything works out well,

we're going to have another episode on this subject of Peter III and Autism.

So until then, Bessvedania, Especiba Bolsroya.

By the age of 10, Klim, as he was often called, worked in the Donbass coal mines

and by 15, he began working in a local factory.
