- History
The beast of Imperialism is once again rearing its ugly head - and since February 24th, when Russia started its brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, it has come to the West’s attention as well. What is the historical background of this latest example of Russia’s aggressive expansionism?
Professor of the History of Russia and the Caucasus and Fellow at Clare College, Cambridge, Hubertus Jahn takes an in depth look at the imperial past of Tsarist Russia and the legacy of this imperialism that lived on in the Soviet Union and continues to inform Russian foreign policy to this day.
As an expert for Georgia and the Caucasus, Professor Jahn also gives a detailed analysis on the impact Russian rule had on Georgia, its society and culture - but also the influence of Georgia on Russia.
