Online talk: Ukraine and the Uses of History

Wednesday 2 March 2-3 pm

In his address to the nation before the attack on Ukraine in the early hours of 24^th聽February, Vladimir Putin used history to frame his actions. Sending troops into Ukraine, he explained, was a defence of Russian people in the East of the country, who had been separated from their motherland by arbitrary political decisions, oppressed by an illegitimate regime, and who now demanded Russian protection. Needless to say, this vision of history does not accord with that put forward by the Ukrainian leadership, who themselves call on a long history of Ukrainian statehood to defend their right to resist Putin's forces. In this session, Christoph Mick and Claire Shaw will discuss the ways in which history has been used to frame both sides of the Ukrainian conflict, and how it might help us to understand what comes next.

To join the talk, which is on Microsoft Teams, please see your emails and Canvas for details.
