History of Russia’s Imperial Ambitions
Head to Head: A Meeting of Inspired Minds
MO 17.04.23, 19:30 – 21:00 Uhr
Hospitalhof Stuttgart, Büchsenstr. 33, 70174 Stuttgart
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has raised important questions about the scope of Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions and about the imperial character of Russia’s conception of itself as a nation. These are essentially historical questions, informed by both the distant past and more recent developments. In this conversation, Karoline Gil and Paul Werth offer thoughts about this history and how it shapes the contours of Russian thinking about its relationship with Ukraine – and with Eastern Europe more broadly.
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
