Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen F Cohen

In 2019 historian and Russia expert Stephen F. Cohen sat down with journalist Aaron Maté to discuss Ukraine's newly elected President, Volodymyr Zelensky, and the threats he faced from neo-Nazi militants in his own country who were pressing to escalate the civil war in the east of Ukraine despite Zelensky running on a peace platform. Zelensky, of course, caved to the pressure from these ultranationalist elements, as well as NATO, both of whom wanted Ukraine to go to war with Russia, and now we face the end game which could mean the end for Zelensky's presidency, and worse. Plus segments on Putin's offer of Russian rare earth metals to the United States, a Zelensky supporter bawling over his treatment by Donald Trump and Joy Behar begging Elon Musk not to sue her after she claimed, falsely, that he supported apartheid in South Africa. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jake Tapper!

Cohen) of Voices of Glasnost: Interviews with Gorbachev's Reformers.   She wrote in the Nation the piece The Cuban Missile Crisis Was 60 Years Ago, but It's Urgently Relevant Today: That pivotal moment proves that de-escalation and diplomacy can prevail.

In Episode 138 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg is outraged that The Nation magazine marks the ninth anniversary of the Ghouta chemical massacre by engaging in glib "false flag" theorizing—the predictable response of the post-truth pseudo-left. This sinister spewing from writer David Bromwich is but the latest entry in a long and shameful litany of pro-Assad and pro-Putin propaganda to appear in The Nation. Similar chemical denialism has been dished out by James Cardenn, and loaned credence by Phyllis Bennis—despite the findings of bona fide human rights groups. The Nation's Bob Dreyfuss has expressed open support for the genocidal dictatorship of Bashar Assad. The Nation's late éminence grise Stephen F. Cohen has spread dishonest Russian propaganda both on Syria and on Ukraine, his spewings eagerly lapped up by Tucker Carlson. Weinberg asserts that The Nation has become a vehicle of Kremlin foreign policy aims, and calls for a complete boycott.

The recent conflict in Ukraine has sparked my interest in foreign policy once again and it was time to have another discussion about foreign affairs with a trusted expert.  I've been listening to and reading the work of Connor Freeman for a couple years now so it was a pleasure to have him on to talk about the current situation in Eastern Europe. Stick around for the wrap up where I talk about the deceased Russian scholar, Stephen F Cohen and read an interesting essay from him about the demonization of Vladimir Putin. Enjoy! follow us on twitter @undoctrinated1 instagram @undoctrinatedpodcast email undoctrinatedpodcast@gmail.com find Connor Freeman on twitter @Freemansmind96 and at The Libertarian Institute. libertarianinstitute.org  

Katrina vanden Heuvel is the editorial director and publisher of The Nation magazine, as well as a columnist for the Washington Post. She is also the president of the American Committee For U.S.-Russia Accord and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Katrina has been studying, working in, and writing about Russia for decades. In columns leading up to the invasion of Ukraine, Katrina was warning that failures of diplomacy were leading toward disaster. In this conversation, we discuss what she believes those failures were. Katrina is no defender of Putin's regime, but she does believe that opportunities were missed to de-escalate the crisis, and that Western policy choices stretching back to the 1990s have made Russia's present aggression more likely. We also discuss the terrifying threat of nuclear weapons and the prospects for getting rid of them, and why it's critical to avoid further militarizing the world. Katrina's writings on Russia are both deeply-informed and uncompromisingly progressive, and she shows how those of us on the left can combine solidarity with the victims of Putin's war with strong critiques of American foreign policy. Katrina's recent columns on Russia and Ukraine:What A Sensible Ukraine Policy Would Look Like (Jan. 4, Washington Post)Stop The Stumble Toward War With Russia (Jan. 18, Washington Post)The Exist From The Ukraine Crisis That's Hiding In Plain Sight (Feb. 1, Washington Post)A Path Out of the Ukraine Crisis (Feb. 15, Washington Post)Putin's Invasion (Feb. 24, The Nation)We Must End The War on Ukraine—and Put an End To Perpetual Wars (March 1, Washington Post)War and Peace in Ukraine (March 3, The Nation)Some of the people and writings referred to in the conversation:An excellent Behind the News interview with Anatol Lieven, whose work Katrina cites, can be read here.Stephen F.

The Current Affairs conversation with him is here.Nathan's article on prospects for World War III is here."There's a history to everything and the history right now is very hard to speak about, as blood flows, with images of bombardment and barbarism. But I think history will be important for what emerges, and what is possible to mediate and lead to a cease-fire."  — Katrina vanden Heuvel      

It's a long sordid history of corruption, evil and treason. Uranium One was the crux of many schemes. Remember, nukes are clean energy. The war lies, concocted stories, blatant treason, and deep state failure of everything. Visa, SWIFT, and the amazing flash ban on Russian everything. History has realists like Stephen F. Cohen. The view from 40k feet makes it all make sense. Is this the Dim's Hiroshima? Western blood gets spilled with senseless war mongering. Costs are too great for the EU or NATO. Nuland, the election planners and an atta boy attitude. This is Antifa like behavior. CHAZ in Kiev looks familiar. It's proud boys on steroids. Since 2010 this has been building. The brave Andrew Breitbart went around the gatekeepers. Be ready for anything, because they can't avoid the truth this time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stephen Cohen‘s classes on Soviet politics, Soviet foreign policy, and Russian history dominated course loads at Princeton for decades. Cohen‘s take on the Soviet Union and leaders such as Bukharin, Gorbachev, and Putin made him an outlier among America’s Russia scholars but it was thrilling to take his classes and engage him directly. This episode takes a look at what made Cohen a phenomenon; with Nils Muiznieks and Dave Powelstock (Cohen students who became Russia scholars).Discussed in this episode:Stephen F.
