Arzamas (Russian: Арзама́с) is a Russian educational website with courses on history, literature, philosophy, arts, and humanities. The website mostly educates through video lectures but it also has podcasts, quizzes, and articles.[1][2] It also has uploaded some old original recordings.[1] It often has lectures from experts as well as primary material for the users to look over.[3] As of July the 1st there are 80 courses, which usually consist of five lectures and articles for the theme of the course, and a few special projects. It has a YouTube channel with over million subscribers, its most popular video "Ancient Rome in 20 minutes" has over 9 million views and is also available in English, narrated by Brian Cox. It also has an Android and iOS application "Radio Arzamas" that contains audio versions of every course.[4] The Calvert Journal characterizes it as depoliticizing history in Russia.[1]
