Arzamas

Arzamas , better known as Arzamas Academy, is a Russian educational website with courses on history, literature, philosophy, arts, and humanities. The website mostly educates through video lectures but it also has podcasts, quizzes, and articles. 
Their YouTube channel, which currently has over a million subscribers, uploads videos in both Russian and English, and both versions can get very popular. For example, one of them is Ancient Russia in 20 Minutes, the Russian version being the most viewed video on the channel with over 12 million views, and the English version being the third most viewed video on the channel, with over 6 million views. Their most popular series is undoubtedly the "Ancient Civilization in a certain number of minutes" series, and some of them have been reacted to by history buffs on YouTube, such as Mr. Terry History. 
The website has received two awards in the past; The course "All Russian literature of the XIX century in 230 cards" was awarded the Electronic Book of the Year award at the Book of the Year awards (Книга года), and The Russian Revolution course by Boris Kolonitskiy received the Enlightener Prize, both in 2017. Also, in 2019, Arzamas Academy became the most popular Russian educational website after Wikipedia. The current editors of the website includes Philipp Dzyadko, Alexander Borzenko, Kirill Golovastikov, and Irina Kaliteyevskaya, with Philipp Dzyadko being the editor-in-chief. 
The website is named after the historical Arzamas Society, which was a literature society based in Saint Petersburg.
