Beskrivning
In February 2022 Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a fellow East Slav state with much shared history. Mark Edele, a world authority on the history of the Soviet Union, explains why and how this conflict came about. He considers competing historical claims and arguments with authority and lucidity. His primary focus, however, is on the different paths taken by these two former members of the Soviet Union. Since the implosion of that state in 1991, Ukraine has developed a vibrant, if often troubled, democracy. For an increasingly dictatorial Russian political elite, including but not limited to Vladimir Putin, Ukraine has appeared more and more threatening. Humiliated by the degradation of Russia's international standing, feeling betrayed by an expanding NATO and anxious about democratic revolutions in the former Soviet space, Putin and his allies have increasingly retreated into a resentful ultra-nationalism. Dreams of past imperial glory stand in place of any attempt to solve the problems of the present.

Recensioner i media

"Dispassionate and sober, Edele successfully pilots the non-specialist reader through the complexities of how one man's obsession with his place in history unleashed a tragic and devastating war in 21st century Europe. With a historian's dispassion, Edele equips the general reader with a sober, factual understanding of the origins of Putin's brutal war in Ukraine." - Peter Tesch, former Ambassador to the Russian Federation, 2016-2019
