The Other: Russian-American Relations Through the Centuries with Ivan Kurilla
On this episode, historian Dr. Ivan Kurilla from European University in St. Petersburg shares about his research on the rich and little-known history of US-Russia relations since the 18th century. Dr. Kurilla explains how the US and Russia are "constitutive others" that have developed historically within the same political language, were both projections of the Greater Europe, and at times shared similar social and political upheaval and transformation. Please visit European University's website at https://eusp.org/ for more on their program for international students (as described by Dr. Kurilla in the episode) held now in Yerevan, Armenia. https://eusp.org/en/news/eusp-revamped-international-programs-explore-what-is-happening-in-russia-and-eurasia-today
