Can Putin Mobilize Russia Again Without Destabilizing His Regime? — Professor Jeremy Morris on Russia’s Breaking Point

For years, Vladimir Putin has managed to insulate much of Russian society from the direct costs of the war in Ukraine. Now that this deal is breaking down, what happens if Russia conducts a major mobilization on top of it all? I spoke with Professor Jeremy Morris, an expert on Russian society and everyday politics, about the growing pressures beneath the apparent stability of Putin’s Russia. Drawing on his recent Jacobin article, Russia’s Authoritarian Neoliberalism Reaches Its Limits, Morris argues that Ukraine’s attacks on Russian energy and economic infrastructure, growing war fatigue, labor shortages, and the increasing difficulty of recruiting soldiers through enormous financial incentives are beginning to erode the sense of normality that has helped sustain the war. Morris explains how economic pressure, inequality, and forced mobilization could interact to produce something much harder for the Kremlin to control. The discussion also goes deeper into the structure of Putin’s political system, including how ordinary Russians actually experience the war and where the limits of social endurance may ultimately lie.

Putin's next move: A risky mobilization or a ceasefire?

Vladimir Putin is likely approaching one of the most consequential decisions of the war and in fact of his entire reign: escalate further through another major mobilization, or accept some form of ceasefire. Or can he continue delaying that choice? In this episode, I spoke with Russian foreign policy expert Dr. Olena Snigyr about what Putin is likely to do in the coming months and what could actually force him to change course. They discuss why Putin has maintained his maximalist war aims after more than four years of fighting, whether the Russian political system now depends on continued war, what another mobilization would mean for Russian society, and the circumstances under which Putin might accept a ceasefire. They also examine the risks of nuclear escalation, how Russians are responding to increasingly frequent Ukrainian attacks deep inside the country, what could come after Putin, and a fundamental question for Ukraine and Europe: what would it actually take to make Moscow conclude that continuing the war is more dangerous than stopping it? About the Dr. Olena SnigyrDr. Olena Snigyr is a political scientist and expert on Russian foreign policy, European security, and Russian strategic narratives. She is a Senior Fellow at the Delphi Global Research Center and a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute. Previously, she spent more than 15 years at Ukraine’s National Institute for Strategic Studies, including as Head of its Foreign Policy Department.

What the Head of the UN in Ukraine Is Seeing on the Ground

Military developments, diplomacy and geopolitics dominate discussion of the war in Ukraine. But behind every missile strike and frontline shift are millions of civilians whose lives have been fundamentally transformed by more than four years of Russia’s full-scale invasion. In this episode of History in the Making: The War in Ukraine, Mark McNamee speaks with Matthias Schmale, the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, about the human reality of a war that is now well into its fifth year. Drawing on his travels across Ukraine, including communities just kilometers from the front, Schmale shares what he has witnessed on the ground, the people and experiences that have stayed with him, and what worries him most about Ukraine’s future. They discuss the consequences of declining international humanitarian support, what continues to give him hope despite the devastation, and what he wishes world leaders better understood about Ukraine. The conversation also steps back to a larger question: what has Russia’s invasion of Ukraine revealed about the international system created after the Second World War—and its ability to protect civilians when a major power chooses to violate its most fundamental rules? About Matthias SchmaleMatthias Schmale is the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, aka Head of the UN in Ukraine, where he leads and coordinates the UN’s development and humanitarian work across the country. He brings more than 30 years of international experience, including senior roles in Nigeria, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan, working with the United Nations, UNRWA, and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

The Deep History Behind America's Political Divide

If you've ever wondered why the US seems so divided, this conversation offers one of the most compelling explanations you'll hear. For many outside the US (and for many it in too), American politics can seem increasingly incomprehensible. Polarization is intensifying, compromise has become elusive, and debates over America's role in the world—from NATO to Ukraine—often appear deeply divided. In this episode, I spoke with award-winning journalist and historian Colin Woodard, author of American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America. Woodard argues that the US is not one unified nation in the cultural sense, but a collection of distinct regional cultures, each founded by different groups of settlers with their own values, institutions, and competing visions of society. More than four centuries later, the sharp differences of these founding cultures persist and continue to shape elections, political identities, public policy, and even America's approach to the world. We explore the origins of Woodard's fascinating framework, how it builds upon David Hackett Fischer's classic Albion's Seed, why political compromise has become so much harder in recent decades, the rise of populism, competing visions of American identity, and whether U.S. democracy is facing its greatest test since the Civil War. Finally, we examine what these deep historical divisions reveal about America's support for Ukraine, its future as a global leader, and whether the American experiment can continue to hold together in the decades ahead. About Colin Woodard: Colin Woodard is an award-winning journalist, historian, and New York Times bestselling author. He is the Director of the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, where he leads research on American identity, democracy, and the historical forces shaping public life. He is the author of American Nations, American Character, Union, and The Republic of Pirates.
