CERISE lecture on 19 April by dr Gleb Bogush

For Russia, history is an ideological tool to justify political decisions, both internal and external.

Op dit moment staan vooral geopolitieke en militaire duidingen van de oorlog in Oekraïne op de voorgrond, maar tijdens deze middag ligt de focus op culturele, historische en taalkundige achtergronden van deze crisissituatie.

The current tensions between Russia and Ukraine pose the biggest challenge to peace in Europe in recent years. The main cause of the conflict is Russian unease with the existing political and security order of Europe and its demand that it be overhauled to accommodate Russia’s security interests.
