AWW22 From Russia to the Soviet Union and Back Again - Sheila Fitzpatrick

Chaired by Anton Enus


Australia’s foremost researcher on modern Russia, Sheila
Fitzpatrick, joins us at the pivotal moment in Russian history to
discuss the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, and Russia’s
post-Soviet agenda under Vladimir Putin. Sheila’s recent book,
The Shortest History of the Soviet Union, is a lively,
authoritative distillation of seventy-five years of communist
rule and the collapse of an empire, and an examination of
Russia’s ongoing influence on global politics under its current
president.
