Hello, I am Adam Irving. My grandfather is historian David Irving, who dedicated his life to uncovering the truth about our past. He taught me one thing: The truth must be protected from distortion.
That’s one of the reasons why and FPP team is launching the Focal Point Podcast — a show built on original, unfiltered, and original sources: declassified KGB files, private archives, and voices often ignored from history.
And all new hot topics that are often ignored, or truths that are untold from the history.
To bring this to life, I need to finish building a studio — a space where the past speaks for itself.
That’s why we are inviting the first Founding Supporters to stand with us and make it happen.
After are previous successful project Irving Collection, where we have digitized and store 20+ years of historical documents
With this podcast, we would like to revive those documents and talk about more hot topics from history.
It’s the rebirth of Focal Point — a newspaper, a studio, and a community dedicated to a single idea:
Real History. Unfiltered. Unafraid.
If that matters to you, I’d be honoured to have your name on the Founders’ Wall before we release our first season in late 2025.
Become a Founder. Let’s bring Real History back.
We’re also pleased to welcome Dr Marcus Papadopoulos as Contributing Editor at FPP.
Dr Papadopoulos holds a PhD in Russian history from Royal Holloway, University of London, is the former editor of Politics First magazine, and a frequent analyst on Russia and Eastern Europe.
His first article for FPP — “We Do Not Recognise a Separate Ukrainian Nationality: The British Government’s Response to a Ukrainian National Identity (1908 – 1949)” — is now live and offers a glimpse of the depth of research and discussion to come.
Dr Marcus Papadopoulos is a historian and political analyst specialising in modern European history and international relations.
His research focuses on twentieth-century Britain, Russia, and the post-war order.He is the author of Whitehall in Stalin’s Russia: British Assessments of the Red Army (1934–1945) and Britain and the Soviet Union (1941–1945), exploring how policymakers, diplomats, and intelligence officers understood Soviet power during one of history’s most consequential decades.

With gratitude,
