S2E8: Wars in Ukraine, A History of Russian Imperialism And Insecurity

Listen Later

Dr. David Stone, U.S. Naval War College, is an expert on Russian military history. He takes us back to a treaty in 1654, one that Russia cites as the basis of its claim to Ukraine. From there, he explains the history of wars in Ukraine, from Peter the Great to Catherine the Great, and then to Vladimir Lenin, WWI and Ukraine's declaration of statehood, and then to the catastrophe of famine in the 1930s and the calamity of WWII. 

Dr. Stone is the author of the following books: 

  1. Hammer and Rifle: The Militarization of the Soviet Union (2000) 
  2. A Military History of Russia (2006) 
  3. The Russian Army in the Great War: The Eastern Front, 1914-1917 (2015)

    4. He is also the editor of The Soviet Union at War, 1941-1945 (2010).

    I hope you enjoy this episode and gain some perspective about wars and battles in Ukraine and against Ukraine.
