Are there any existing archives of Soviet radio broadcasts, whether accessible or not at present? Kristin Roth-Eye notes that radio was "not well preserved," but was it preserved at all? I am interested especially in live (I think?) sports broadcasts from the 1950s

Has anyone written about the effort to introduce new crops in the USSR during the Stalin Revolution? I'm thinking about kendyr (a fiber crop touted as a cotton alternative, very important in the 1FYP in northern Kyrgyzstan) in particular, but also just the topic in general

Here's my hot take: I think @niccpianc has totally recast the debate on Soviet empire in two articles about the Qazaq famine (2022, 2017), and based on citations, it seems like most scholars haven't realized it yet

#Twitterstorians: Have any of you done a material culture history assignment with students? I'm planning to have students in my Holocaust History course do one since we have an on-campus Holocaust museum with many material artifacts. If you can, please share what you've done! TY!

One thing the "For you" tab is really good at is showing how many people on here are just reposting other people's viral takes as their own

Really please that this volume is out! See my chapter to learn how Soviet malariologists contested and coopted international health projects, in the process helping to build a sphere of public health despite, and because of, Cold War divisions.
