In this episode of History and Politics with Dr. Brovkin I examine what is hidden behind the official posturing at the G7: Did Putin and Trump agree on a course of action? Did the Western Powers really spoke with one voice? How to explain Meloni's approach? Are the Ukrainians really "winning"? What exactly was destroyed by the yesterday's attack on Moscow? These are some of the questions we discuss today.
Dr. Brovkin served as an Associate Professor of Soviet History at Harvard University, he is the author of numerous books on Russian History and politics. His latest book: From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin: Russia in Search of Its identity (Routledge, London 2024) is available from Amazon and Routledge.com. In addition to Issues of Contemporary Politics playlist, you can find: Russia under Yeltsin and Putin, Russia under the Communist Regime, War in Ukraine, European History and others. THESE WERE CONVERTED TO PODCASTS AS WELL. FOLLOW me ON X TWITTER https://x.com/BrovkinVla97791. I converted my video playlists into podcasts, so you can listen to them if you prefer.
