Episode 17: A Yankee in the Kremlin - US-Russia Relations
US-Russia relations have historically been murky, and that may be because Russia itself is difficult to decipher. Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said of the Soviet Union/Russia:
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.
Through the Cold War and the first part of the twenty-first century, America has struggled to understand this enigma, but has largely failed to account for Russian interests in the midst of that struggle. In this episode, Tim discusses the major themes and historical events that have been a part of US-Russia relations for decades.
