He actually does go off topic quite a bit. But it's 100% worth going down whatever rabbithole he goes on an adventure on.
10/10, if you get a chance to talk with him and pick his brain on random early soviet history topics, you should.
I had an Anatomy and Physiology teacher for a night class many years ago. He'd go off on tangents talking about demonic possesion, his homophobic tendencies, and adrenochrome, It made his lectures like reading through Pale Fire on drugs. He was one of the the best teachers I ever had, his shaky manic rants basically ensuring that I was transfixed and able to write down every single (relevant) word despite my severe unmedicated ADHD and chronic sleep deprivation.
He sounds certainly like a real character one would find interesting to listen to. Sadly Furr's a bit more on the pedantic side in his speaking since he's spent quite literally years putting up with anti-communist a-historical 'historian' bullshit, so if you're not exactly a stick-in-the-mud you may end up bored and tallying up how many times he says "Anti-Stalin paradigm" during one of his lectures.
