AWW23: Russia Now and Then - Alhierd Bacharevič, Sheila Fitzpatrick & Anatol Lieven

Chair: Monica Attard


As the war in Ukraine drags on, cities are destroyed and people’s
lives are devastated, how do we make sense of Russia and the
rationale behind its ’special military operation’? There has been
intense focus on the plight of Ukraine’s citizenry, but less
attention has been paid to the Russian mindset, the historical
context for this invasion and the likely consequences. Former ABC
foreign correspondent Monica Attard is joined by political
scientist Anatol Lieven, historian Sheila Fitzpatrick and
Belarusian writer Alhierd Bacharevič.
