The ongoing Ukrainian crisis has not come out of the blue. Distrust between Russia and the West has been growing ever since the Russian Federation was created in 1991-2. We tend to see this as Russia's fault. Without denying that, Geoffrey Hosking will present the idea that the West has also been responsible right from the outset.

The talk will be followed by a reception in the North Cloisters, UCL.

THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED AND REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED.
