About this listen

More series of Misha Glenny’s BBC Radio 4 show about the borders, the stories and the people of countries worldwide

Former BBC Central European correspondent Misha Glenny investigates the borders, the histories and the people that make different nations what they are today.

Aided by a wealth of expert contributors, he discovers the geographical quirks, Game of Thrones-style battles and history-changing personalities that have defined each nation - busting some persistent myths and stereotypes along the way.
