Russian Medievalisms with Eugene Smelyansky
This episode ranges over 19th-century history and why they thought of the Middle Ages as vibes, to the vast varieties of experiences of minority communities in medieval Europe, to how Putin uses the Middle Ages politically in contemporary Russia. Plus we righteously hate on Samuel Huntington’s “Clash of Civilizations.”
Guest
Eugene Smelyansky is an Assistant Professor of History at Washington State University, specializing in persecution and marginalization in late medieval Europe, and the uses and abuses of the medieval past during later periods. He is the author of Heresy and Citizenship: Persecution of Heresy in Late Medieval German Cities, The Intolerant Middle Ages: A Reader, and, most recently, Medievalisms and Russia: The Contest for Imaginary Pasts.

About Us
American Medieval is a podcast about the Middle Ages, but with an American twist. Each week, joined by expert guests, we’ll explore either some fascinating part of the medieval world, or some way Americans have used this period to help them understand themselves.
After all, if America has never been modern, it’s because we’ve always been slightly medieval.
