I have been reading background material about Russia
Obviously, the world thinks it has a problem with Vladimir Putin because he’s invaded Ukraine, a neighbouring sovereign nation, but there is very much more to it than we are presented with in the attentions of the world media.
Nobody discusses how the Russian minority in the east of Ukraine was forced by the rhetoric and existential actions of the Ukrainian majority to fear for their culture and so they looked to the great behemoth of Russia to safeguard them and when it didn’t materialise at first, they elected to secede from the Ukrainian state which caused a reaction, and only at this did Russia rise up to an apparent opportunity for a land grab.
I have been working through a catalogue of books on the subject of Putin’s Russia 🇷🇺 and I have seen “Rebel Russia”, Montefiore’s Stalin, and Alexei Navalny’s Patriot, and other books including Sweeney’s Murder in the Gulag. There are things to set the tone of discussion and research online, and I am looking at the whole kind of anti-neoliberalism theme going through various countries at the moment.
There is so much to consider and be informed about and I can see how an anti Ukrainian rhetoric can be used or developed because the denial of the land grab does not take into account the hopes and views of the people in the midst of the crisis.
