"Listening to this one on Spotify. In the first chapter, Snyder spends most of his time talking about mod 20th century Russian exile and intellectual Ivan Ilyne, and influence and tool for the Russian oligarchs while Putin took control in the 2010s. It spends a lot of time discussing Ivan's ideas relating to fascism, Christianity, connections to Marx and Hegel, but not much talking about exactly how Putin used him." — Sep 18, 2025 07:35PM

“Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.”

“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”
