The Battle of Austerlitz is considered by all military academies as one of the greatest victories in the history of warfare, the purest demonstration of Napoleon's military talent – a confrontation between the brand-new empire born of the French Revolution and the time-honoured empires of Austria and Russia.
At stake: the future of Europe itself. This is the story of a battle that was won more by the soldiers' legs than by guns.

This is a biography of a borderland between Russia and Poland, a region where, in 1925, people identified as Poles, Germans, Jews, Ukrainians, and Russians lived side by side. Over the next three decades, this mosaic of cultures was modernized and homogenized out of existence by the ruling might of the Soviet Union, then Nazi Germany, and finally, Polish and Ukrainian nationalism. By the 1950s, this "no place" emerged as a Ukrainian heartland, and the fertile mix of peoples that defined the region was destroyed.Kate Brown’s study is grounded in the life of the village and shtetl, in the personalities and small histories of everyday life in this area. In impressive detail, she documents how these regimes, bureaucratically and then violently, separated, named, and regimented this intricate community into distinct ethnic groups.Drawing on recently opened archives, ethnography, and oral interviews that were unavailable a decade ago, A Biography of No Place reveals Stalinist and Nazi history from the perspective of the remote borderlands, thus bringing the periphery to the center of history. We are given, in short, an intimate portrait of the ethnic purification that has marked all of Europe, as well as a glimpse at the margins of twentieth-century “progress.”

When, in July 1969, Neil Armstrong made one giant leap for mankind, America went down in popular history as the winner of the space race. But In Cosmonauts Episode 2 we learn that the real space pioneers of the 20th century were the Soviets. Between 1961 and 1966, they realised a number of spectacular historical achievements, including the first man and woman in space. Up to that point, they seemed unstoppable.
Then a string of misfortunes struck. The deaths of two key figures, Sergei Korolev, the godfather of the programme, and hero and icon Yuri Gagarin, were followed by a series of mechanical setbacks. This allowed the Americans to streak ahead and ultimately claim victory. But it did not end there. The Russians recalibrated their space programme in the 1970s, achieving more success and coming in many ways to dominate modern space exploration. Covering all these events and more, Cosmonauts Episode 2 uses unseen archive and compelling interviews to reveal the story of the space race from the other side of the iron curtain.
Cosmonauts Episode 2 is part of the BBC history documentary series Cosmonauts which explores the race between Russia and America to dominate space exploration.
