After many, many requests, Matthew Raphael Johnson has finally done a podcast on the Iron Guard, the political vehicle for the ideas of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (1899-1938) in interwar Romania. Primarily, it is about the ideology of the movement and its policies during the brief reign of the “Legionary Government” in 1940. https://ia601505.us.archive.org/29/items/TON100416/TON%20100416.mp3 Romania presents special…

Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson contrasts the nationalist philosophy of Martin Heidegger with the unnatural oppression that is Marxism. Socialism is not the domain of Marxism and it is not even a very good example of the school. Capital is a revolutionary force and always has been. https://ia801503.us.archive.org/8/items/TON082316/TON%20082316.mp3 Martin Heidegger is not accessible to the average…
“Hell is an Eternal Platitude” was a memorable line from the great poet Feodor Sologub.

In this broadcast, TBR’s own Matthew Raphael Johnson speaks with Andrew Carrington Hitchcock on just this question. http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-140803/TS-1097758.mp3 It is almost impossibly to find…
TBR Senior researcher Matthew Raphael Johnson again challenges conventional wisdom on the Russian empire. In Russia itself, it is rare to find textbooks or historians who believe that the Mongols occupied Russia in the high middle ages. In the US, that has not even begun to penetrate. http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-140803/TS-1102921.mp3 Initially skeptical, Dr. Johnson was slowly convinced by…
