University of Sydney Seminar – Putin, History, and the Ukraine War
1 March
Commentary on the Ukraine War is full of historical allusions and comparisons. In his own speeches on the war, Russian President Vladimir Putin often refers to earlier periods in Moscow’s relationship with neighboring regions such as Ukraine—from tsarist times, through the Russian Revolution, to WWII and its aftermath. What is Putin’s view of Russian history, and what can this tell us about his view of Russia’s role in the world today?
