281. The Russian Perspective on Ukraine
from Preconceived
For most of the Western world, the main headline of the war in Ukraine has been something along the lines of ‘Russia invades Ukraine, Putin is a war criminal, and Ukraine has been the victim of a terrible, nonsensical war’. And this may very well be accurate. But if you spoke to someone in Russia, what would they say about the war? How would Putin justify this war against Ukraine, and how would the average Russian citizen explain the necessity of defeating Ukraine? Maria Popova joins the podcast. Maria Popova's latest book on Russia and Ukraine - https://www.amazon.ca/Russia-Ukraine-Entangled-Histories-Diverging/dp/1509557377 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
