One aspect of Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been the use and
abuse of history by President Vladimir Putin, in an effort to
justify his actions. Historian and Russian lecturer Dr Jade McGlynn
is an expert on the ways history has been manipulated, both in this
conflict and the wider context. She joins Arthur Snell for our
latest war bulletin. We're putting out irregular war bulletins
covering different aspects of the Ukraine crisis. You can support
our work on the crowdfunding platform Patreon: doomsdaywatch.co.uk
Resources to help the Ukrainian people can be found here:
https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/ “In many ways Ukraine and Russia are
divided by a common history.” “Since the fall of the Soviet Union,
the Orthodox Church is quite an important indicator.” “World War 2
discourse is part of everyday life in Russia, it’s on a different
level that we see in Britain.” “Russia is good at finding painful
points in society and then exploiting them.” “It’s codified in
Russia’s constitution that you have to respect the memory of the
Great Patriotic War.” DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by
Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold.
