The Context Behind the Crisis in Ukraine

The world is observing a rapidly evolving crisis, as Russia attacks Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin threatens “anyone who tries to interfere.” The consequences for Ukraine, Russia, the region, and our world appear increasingly catastrophic. In this Conversation @Graham, we explore the longer historical and political context behind this crisis with Faith Hillis, Professor of Russian History at the University of Chicago, and Monika Nalepa, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago.
