Soviet Spider-Man?

Описание: In this episode, we explore a fascinating counterfactual: What if Peter Parker had been born in Moscow instead of New York? What if the world's most beloved superhero had emerged from behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War?

Journey with us through an alternate 1962, where a young Pyotr Pavelovich Parker gains extraordinary powers in the Soviet Union. Witness how the same radioactive spider bite leads to a dramatically different destiny – one entangled with KGB operations, Cold War espionage, and the crushing weight of authoritarian power.

This immersive historical narrative draws on rigorous Cold War scholarship and counterfactual methodology to explore themes of power, responsibility, and the eternal tension between individual conscience and state control. From the streets of Moscow to the halls of the Kremlin, discover how one man's story reflects the broader tragedy of millions who lived under Soviet rule.

Based on principles from Richard J. Evans' Altered Pasts: Counterfactuals in History and grounded in detailed historical research, this episode demonstrates how even fictional characters can illuminate profound historical paths.
