Really enjoyed this, many thanks. Now watching the whole series whilst I should be working…
Ahhh…the internet…how did we ever do without it??
I’ve been to Issyk Kul. A lovely pristine place.
Went by bus actually
Scouse nation 
I’m reading ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ (slowly) at the moment and I stumbled upon this website in connection with that:
It’s a bit clunky, but there’s some good stuff in there.
Very sad read, but fascinating history of the first muslims in the USA in 1807. His autobiography is in Arabic.
Great series. Should be compulsory viewing
Will watch it tomorrow; no doubt there’ll be plenty of similarities to the way things have gone under rightwing regimes in the current world.
It’s informative COG
Got this on now whilst working on me Satdee night…
hahaha
It is definitely making the work less painful.
Well worth watching. Chilling, but fascinating.
I just started watching the first episode. What a fascinating story, but so sad and traumatic as well.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I hope you saw it all Maria. Not an easy watch, but essential viewing in my opinion.
This is where fascism leads.
