/408/ Was It Raining When You Fled Paris? ft. Peter Gourevitch
On the earth-shaking events of the 20th century, through a personal lens.
Regular contributor Alex Gourevitch sits down with political scientist Peter Gourevitch to talk about their shared family history.
Why did their grandparents/great-grandparents become Mensheviks?
How did one half of the family leave the USSR and the other half remain?
What was life like in exile in Berlin before the Nazis took power? And how did the family know to flee?
What was distinctive about fascism and the terroristic assault on democracy?
How was the escape from Paris just like the film Casablanca?
What happened to those who remained in the Soviet Union and how did one member meet death via torture?
What is the legacy of Menshevism – and what is the relationship between socialism and democracy?
