Eugene Smelyansky was a guest on the American Medieval podcast, hosted by historian Matthew Gabriele (Virginia Tech). Eugene got to discuss what sparked his interest in studying marginalized peoples in medieval Europe and the enduring appeal of all things medieval in our own time. He also discussed his most recent book, Medievalisms and Russia: The Contest for Imaginary Pasts (Arc Humanities Press, 2024). https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/russian-medievalisms-with-eugene-smelyansky/id1849547102?i=1000753024635 (link opens in new window).
