When Vladimir Putin ordered Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, he and many others assumed that Russia's “special operation” would end in a quick victory. Eighteen months later, an independent Ukraine stands strong, while Russia's position has grown so weak that Putin has begun working to develop closer ties with North Korea's Kim Jong Un. Why has Ukraine been so resilient, and why has Putin remained committed to a war that has done so much damage to Russia? The answer has everything to do with the ways those on both sides of the conflict understand history.   In this episode, historian Serhy Yekelchyk joins Ben to discuss the history of Russia and Ukraine, and how understanding the war on the battlefield requires understanding the conflicting historical narratives embraced by those on both sides.   Dr. Serhy Yekelchyk is Professor of History and Slavic Studies at the University of Victoria. A native of Kiev, Serhy has published extensively on Ukranian history, including The Conflict in Ukraine: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press, 2nd ed., 2020) and Ukraine: Birth of a Modern Nation (Oxford University Press, 2007).   We'd like to give a special thanks to the Strickland family for establishing the Strickland Distinguished Lecture Series at Middle Tennessee State University, which brought Dr. Yekelchyk to MTSU's campus, and to Emily Baran and Lynn Nelson for their help in arranging this recording.   This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher.  

When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the world entered a new and dangerous phase. The fightback by the Ukrainians is now a pivotal struggle between right and wrong. Added to the recent terrorist attacks in southern Israel, now is an ideal time to hear from General David Petraeus and Lord Andrew Roberts about what the future of conflict looks like, and what the past can tell us.They are the joint authors of Conflict: A Military History of the Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to UkraineGeneral Petraeus & Lord Roberts LinksConflict: A Military History of the Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to UkraineChat at Cliveden between the twoOllie LinksOllie on X/TwitterEmail - history@aspectsofhistory.com

When Vladimir Putin proclaims to the West that he is fighting Nazis in Ukraine, he is not lying. However, what he is doing is using a minority of extremism as a scapegoat to justify a more extensive set of motives. The presence of neo-Nazis in Ukraine, a phenomenon that, while concerning, is not unusual for Eastern Europe or even the Russian states itself. This region has a long and troubled past with ultra-conservatism and anti-Semitism, dating back centuries gone by, and today's episode will aim to help you unpack and discover this past.

When Vladimir Putin announced the start of a so-called "Special Military Operation" in the early hours of February 24 2022, he was in fact announcing the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the beginning of the biggestland war in Europe since World War II.

When Vladimir Putin started his war in Ukraine, he said it was all about fighting 'Nazis'. But if you've been listening to his speeches or spent any time watching Russian state TV lately, you'll notice the scope has widened dramatically. Now, the war is apparently about protecting Russians from perversion, paedophilia, and even the British children's cartoon character, Peppa Pig.  Today, ABC TV Foreign Correspondent's Eric Campbell on Putin's bewildering propaganda, and the journalists who've escaped Russia and are now trying to counter his lies.  Featured:  Eric Campbell, reporter, ABC TV Foreign Correspondent

Welcome to the Big Thinking Podcast, where we talk to leading researchers about their work on some of the most important and interesting questions of our time.Gabriel Miller, President and CEO of the Federation, is our host.When Vladimir Putin launched a new military offensive last February, Canada condemned Russia's actions and support Ukraine. As the war spills into 2023, what should we know about this conflict? What are we to make of the competing narratives about the war's political, cultural, and historical context? How is our understanding affected by mythology and misinformation?  Today, Miller is joined by Natalia Khanenko-Friesen, Professor in the Modern Language and Cultural Studies Department and Director of the Canadian Institute for Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta.Her research areas are diaspora studies and migrant communities, oral history, folklore and Ukrainian studies, and she will use her expertise to help us answer the question "What don't we understand about the war in Ukraine?"

When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, many cyber security analysts expected Russia to rely far more heavily on cyber tactics.

When Vladimir Putin shattered the peace in Europe by unleashing war on a democracy of 44 million people, his justification was that modern, Western-leaning Ukraine was a constant threat and Russia could not feel "safe, develop and exist". Mark and Pete delve deep

When Vladimir Putin announced the start of this war, he said that one of his aims was to “demilitarise and denazify” Ukraine. What is he talking about, given that Ukraine is run by a popularly elected Jewish President whose grandfather's three brothers and parents were all shot dead by the Nazis. In today's episode of the Fourcast, we speak to Professor Jason Stanley, the author of How Fascism Works and How Propaganda Works. He explains the offensive, illogical and dangerous thinking of Vladimir Putin. Sources: Bloomberg

Things are seldom what they seem. In a way, that's one of the lessons of the story of Esther and Purim. Like Esther "hiding" her true identity or Ahasuerus leaving out the fact it was Mordechai, not Haman he wanted to honor, everything we see today seems to have a waiting surprise and plot twist. Or at least a hidden sub-text that we pretend surprises us when it is inevitably revealed. So much seems to follow the very plots we've seen before. So why are we surprised? When Vladimir Putin invades Ukraine, we point fingers, assign blame and try to out patriot the other other side. But we never dig deep enough in the text to ask the one question that we should have been asking from the very first day... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/plausibly-live/message

When Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine on February 24, he cited the Russian Federation's "obligations" as an ally of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk "People's Republics." As it turns out, no such alliance existed at that time. The agreements regarding mutual cooperation did not come into force until a day later, on February 25. In other words, according to both international and Russian law, Moscow couldn't possibly have had any legal basis for invading Ukraine.

This episode was originally going to be called something like not everything is the Holocaust. We were going to talk about how the Nazi attempt to kill all of Europe's Jews during World War II wasn't much like being told to get a vaccine or wear a mask.But events have overtaken us. Mask mandates are falling and the war in Ukraine is all I can think about nowadays - I don't know about you.When Vladimir Putin ordered his invasion, he claimed he was going to de-Nazify Ukraine's government.That was bullshit, but like a lot of bullshit, there's a germ of truth.Today we're going to talk about what it means to de-Nazify a government with a Jew at it's head and an ambivalent history.Joining me today is Edna Friedberg, a historian at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, who hosts, among other things their Facebook live show.You can listen to Angry Planet on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play or follow our RSS directly.

When Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping met before the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, it was the Chinese head of state's first in person meeting with another world leader in two years. Declaring that China and Russia's friendship had “no limits,” the two authoritarian leaders signaled they were more aligned than ever and determined to present a united front against the US. Then, Russia invaded Ukraine. Wall Street Journal chief China correspondent Lingling Wei joins Ray Suarez to discuss the diplomatic tightrope Beijing is walking as Moscow's global isolation grows.  Guest: Lingling Wei, chief China correspondent at the Wall Street Journal Host:  Ray Suarez, WorldAffairs co-host If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

When Vladimir Putin was appointed prime minister in August 1999, he was a political unknown. He quickly made his name by ordering Russian Federation forces to re-take control of the breakaway republic of Chechnya, which just years earlier had fought and won autonomy from Moscow. It would herald the start of a brutal conflict known as the Second Chechen war. We hear an eyewitness account of the war and its brutal aftermath.

The former evil empire standing up to the empire of lies. When Vladimir Putin announced his decision to demilitarize Ukraine, he wasn't just resurrecting the ghost of the Cold War, he made it clear that US-Russian animosity never really ended. How hot and bloody could it get? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Timofei Bordachev, programme director of the Valdai Discussion Club.

When Vladimir Putin declared war early Thursday morning, he did not set Ukraine as his ultimate target. The Russian leader focused instead on the U.S. and its allies, placing them at the center of a speech that set the night's invasion in motion. It was the West, he said, that created the “fundamental threats” to Russia that prompted him to attack Ukraine, and it is the West, he said, that Russia would seek to humble in the ensuing war.

When Vladimir Putin came to power in Russia, the mandatory retirement age for government officials was 65 years old. During Dmitry Medvedev's presidency in 2010, this age limit was lowered to 60. But just three years later, after Putin had returned to the presidency, it was raised to 70 years old. Since then, the Russian president has been gradually extending or abolishing the mandatory retirement age for senior civil servants, as Putin's entourage continues to age along with him. In a new investigation, iStories journalists calculated the average age of Russia's ruling elite. Here's what they found. Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2022/01/31/the-old-guard

When Vladimir Putin sits down with Joe Biden, both men will be well familiar with each other and Putin will have no illusions that he can toy with the new American president like he could with the last one. Joe Biden has been working at a high level in US foreign policy since 1973 (when Leonid Brezhnev was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.) As Biden's Europe trip has demonstrated this past week, he is a savvy foreign policy professional who knows how to pull the levers of diplomacy behind the scenes. If not every speech is a barn burner, the results so far outstrip those of all his recent predecessors in their first years in office. We discuss the Putin meeting with David Sanger of the New York Times, who is traveling with the president, and Evelyn Farkas, former senior Obama Administration official and Russia specialist.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

When Vladimir Putin first became Russian prime minister two decades ago in 1999, few people had even heard of him. But the stern-faced former KGB officer soon triggered a love affair with the Russian population. Two decades on, after re-imposing authoritarian rule and a new confrontation with the West, he shows no sign of leaving. Ekaterina Egorova joins Greg to discuss his character traits and those of other authoritarian-minded rulers currently having their day.  Ekaterina Egorova is a founder and the president of the Niccolo-M Strategic Communications Agency, the leading Russian political consulting and public relations firm. She is also head of the Political Profiler, a political and psychological consulting firm based in Washington.
