Today @ Noon ET - Book Talk: Towards the Abyss in Ukraine

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine (and indeed before), Western reporting and analysis of the country has been dominated by a Ukrainian narrative emanating from middle-class civil society. The Russian officially-backed narrative has been even cruder and more monolithic. The result has been to obscure key features of Ukraine and the background to the war, with damaging consequences for Western policymaking. To illuminate these features, Anatol Lieven is joined by Volodymyr Ishchenko, a leading Ukrainian sociologist and political analyst. They will discuss Dr. Ishchenko’s book, “Towards the Abyss: Ukraine from Maidan to War”, to be published by Verso on February 27th.
