(See also Mr. Weigel’s column ([link removed]) arguing that “Putin’s Russian regime is a danger to the Russian people and the world, and will likely remain so, until the kind of moral and historical reckoning that took place in Germany after World War II takes place in Russia.”)

By EPPC Fellow David Gortler
Newsweek
