In this podcast Professor Timothy Snyder (Yale) considers the politicized history and historicised politics behind Russia's war in Ukraine, with special attention to the Kremlin's rehabilitation of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the enduring legacy of the Holocaust. His presentation, entitled 'The Fog of History: From the Great Fatherland War to Russia's Invasion of Ukraine', was delivered in King's College, Cambridge on 27 February 2015. Initiated in 2003, the Annual Stasiuk Lecture in Contemporary Ukrainian Studies at the University of Cambridge explores the internal dynamics and international implications of events in today's Ukraine and features the foremost experts in the fields of Ukrainian politics, history, and society. It is organised by Cambridge Ukrainian Studies, an academic centre in the Department of Slavonic Studies, University of Cambridge.
