In this episode for A2–B1 Russian learners, we talk about the history of potatoes in Russia — when they appeared, why people were afraid of them at first, and how they became a national food. You’ll hear useful past-tense verbs, everyday vocabulary, and cultural facts. A great way to improve your listening and learn something new!
