Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution talk on The Ukraine & Russia Crisis

A special online event being hosted on  Tuesday 15 March by the  Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution  sees two leading experts on the subject of Ukraine-Russian relations, Professor Paul D’Anieri, Vice-Chancellor, University of California, author of Ukraine and Russia,  and Rajan Menon author of Conflict in Ukraine share and discuss thoughts on the deepening crisis in the region and both speakers will take audience questions via zoom at the end of their talk.

Professor Paul D’Anieri and Rajan Menon will explore the current situation within the wider historical context of the region, asking: How are we to understand the current context and historical background to this crisis, and what lessons, if any, can be drawn as regards the future security of Europe? Can we imagine a different, less crisis-prone European order? If so, what might it look like, and how can we create it? 

Finally, now that Russia has invaded Ukraine, is there a way out of this war which meets the minimal demands of Russia, Ukraine and the West? These questions will be addressed by putting this crisis in a larger historical perspective, starting in 1991, with a quick, scene-setting survey.

As we search for our positions on the Ukraine Russia Crisis both as individuals and part of a wider global society, informing ourselves as fully as possible seems just about the most positive thing we can do.  Bath Royal look forward to hosting this very important event for them and hope audience participants will come with questions for our two leading experts.

The lecture is part of the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution’s wider programme of political talks and cultural events and for further lectures and events visit www.brlsi.org
