Ukraine, Russia, and the West: A Critical Analysis

This podcast features Julia Latynina and Alexey Arestovich discussing the nature of revolutions, using the Trump presidency and the Ukrainian Maidan protests as case studies. They debate whether these events constituted true revolutions and analyse their successes and failures. The conversation expands to explore the role of misinformation, specifically regarding NATO membership promises to Ukraine, and the broader consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Finally, they consider the potential for future conflict and the need for a new strategic vision for both Russia and Ukraine, emphasising the importance of addressing underlying causes rather than merely managing symptoms.
