Anatol Lieven speaks with Sheila Fitzpatrick on her upcoming book, "Lost Souls"

Book Talk: Lost Souls – Soviet Displaced Persons and the Birth of the Cold War
[link removed]

Since the late 1940s, the Western reception of refugees, emigres and dissidents from the Soviet bloc and Russia has been both a humanitarian policy, and an important part of strategy and propaganda against the West’s geopolitical and ideological adversaries. This strategy continued to a reduced extent after the Cold War, and has now returned with full force as a result of the flight of Russians to the West as a result of the invasion of Ukraine.

To discuss these issues and the legacy of the Soviet Union, Anatol Lieven, director of the Eurasia program at the Quincy Institute, is joined by Professor Sheila Fitzpatrick, pre-eminent social and cultural historian of the Soviet Union and modern Russia. They will discuss her soon to be released book, Lost Souls: Soviet Displaced Persons and the Birth of the Cold War (Princeton University Press, November 14th, 2024),
