Joe ManganielloGUEST
There's this whole, I wind up getting sent on a side quest to, uh, Russian Orthodox church with a Ukrainian Orthodox saint is interred, and I'm instructed to write a letter and put it under a sarcophagus by these Greek Orthodox nuns.
Joe ManganielloGUEST
So then this Orthodox circle that was the circle of my Armenian Orthodox great-grandmother, then that gets layered in, this Orthodox Christian side.
Joe ManganielloGUEST
Then there's A shaman from Australia who is kind of like, you know, late 20th century, early 21st century, non-animal sacrificing, neo-pagan, shamanistic angle that's sort of Buddhist.
Joe ManganielloGUEST
And that gets layered in.

Joe ManganielloGUEST
And I don't know why, cause I have no reason to feel that way, but why? And, um, and then I wound up getting sick and suffering.
Joe ManganielloGUEST
And there are so many parallels to my illness and my suffering as it turns out to, especially my grandmother.
Joe ManganielloGUEST
My grandmother was born in a relocation camp after the Armenian genocide in Constantinople.
Joe ManganielloGUEST
And she spent half of her life, as it turns out, fighting all the illnesses that I was fighting.
Steve CarranHOST
So now we're going to dive into your background a little bit more about what makes you tick.
Steve CarranHOST
So you're Armenian, but grew up in Ukraine and then came to the United States.
Steve CarranHOST
So how did growing up in Ukraine and then coming to the United States shape you into who you are today?
Oksana GyulnazaryanGUEST
I think, you know, the entire journey that I went through certainly made me who I am today.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
She was for decades the leader of the ARS Western Region, taking it from kind of a community relief organization to one with a global reach for all Armenian communities.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
If you recall the Syrian relief, that was an ARS thing a few years ago when our communities in northern Syria got hammered when the war was decimating them, essentially, like the Armenians in Aleppo, etc.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
All of that said, to me, Rita Vorperian was actually Rita Tontic.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
She knew me literally from the day that I was born.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
For both Rita and Oshin, we're going to put links in the show notes so you can read a little bit about them.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
Both Rita and Oshin were of that golden generation, the one that I call Zartonki Serunt, the post-genocide generation of reawakening that stood up, reclaimed and revived our Armenian identity.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
My generation and next generations would not be around if it weren't for these steadfast, brilliant Armenians to their core.
Asbed BedrossianHOST
My mom and dad among them, of course.
SamHOST
Armenia, yeah.
SamHOST
She's Armenian.
SamHOST
That's white.
SamHOST
It's on the periphery, but it's white, at least by American definitions.
TypoHOST
Yeah, isn't it kind of funny that she's actually from the Caucasus Mountains? Yeah, she's Caucasian.
TypoHOST
She's actually Caucasian, and we're like, eh, she's kind of white.
SamHOST
Yeah, Armenians are on the edge, but they're pretty much assimilated.
SamHOST
They can pass.
Inna KanevskyGUEST
This was post-Soviet Union.
Inna KanevskyGUEST
It was Armenian.
Inna KanevskyGUEST
But anyway, so we were in love.
Inna KanevskyGUEST
And because of my principles, et cetera, we basically were going to get married.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
There was no hatred of the, the Arabs in Russia.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
There was no hatred of, uh, Armenians.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
Um, you know, they were Christians, but heretical, uh, Christians, certainly.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
You know, uh, no other group, not even the Germans, who did very well.
29 MINS LATER
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
I've been reading stuff from this era for many, many years.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
There's all kinds of nationalist stuff and royalist stuff and, um, you know, uh, but, but still the Jewish question comes up in each and every one of these things.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
Not the Germans, not the Arabs, not the Armenians, not the Georgians, not the Ossetians, not the Turks, um, but the Jews.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
The only ones who have this particular feature.
Madeleine BrandHOST
Number 50, let's go over to Glendale.
Madeleine BrandHOST
And you're excited about an Armenian restaurant there, Yerort Mas.
Bill AddisonGUEST
Yerort Mas is a wonderful, also new, truly revolutionary Armenian restaurant in a city where most of the time you know Armenian restaurants first perhaps for kebabs.
Bill AddisonGUEST
The chef here is thinking of Armenian cuisine through its diaspora.
Bill AddisonGUEST
And there is quite a history of an Armenian diaspora throughout the world.
Bill AddisonGUEST
And so he'll be making really delicious Syrian dishes like goulash.
Bill AddisonGUEST
One of his grandmothers would make koftas, vegetarian ones, meaning like kind of soft, deeply spiced, like lentil patties, almost wrapped in leaves and fattoush.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Universities played an enormous role in the pre-preparation of the events of October.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
The Soviet coalition of the Odessa University included a Bolshevik, a Menshevik, an SR, a representative of the Bund, Zionist socialists, the Armenian communities, Georgian and Polish ones as well.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Student attachments were formed even before the pogrom.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
During immense meetings at the university, money was collected to buy weapons.
6 HRS 3 MINS LATER
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
A generation earlier, the Jews refused to work or pay taxes.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
You know, in the last days of the Kahale, they did the same thing.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
Um, it's amazing how these restrictions didn't apply to anyone else, not the, the hand- a handful of Arabs that were quite successful down south, um, the Tartars, not the Armenians, who were, of course, heretics, uh, the Germans.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
Uh, it, it didn't apply to anyone else but the Jews, and he will never ask himself why that's the case.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
The prominent Bolshevik, L. Kamenev, Ka- Kamenev, was among the members of the Presidium.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
It also included the Georgian Chekhashaia, the Armeni- the Armenian Sa- Sakzhan, one Krushinsky, most likely a Pole, and Niko- and Nikolsky, likely a Russian.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Quite an impudent ethnic composition for the governing organ of Russia in such a critical time.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
Well, the, the conclusion is obvious.
Steve RobinsonHOST
And she's also for a time was the only employee of the Office of New Americans.
Steve RobinsonHOST
And also on that trip was Tarlin Amadov, who was the first director of the Office of New Americans and would later get run out of that job by Edward Tomic, who found his anti-Armenian bigotry smeared all over his social media accounts.
Steve RobinsonHOST
So this is this weird group of all these politically connected migrant NGO hustlers and lawmakers all take this trip to Azerbaijan.
Steve RobinsonHOST
They're wined and dined, and it's very strange what they're doing.
