Samir Puri, Olga Onuch, Peter Caddick-Adams
Saturday 1st July 19:30 (60 Min)
Hiscox Tent
In this timely discussion, Olga Onuch, Samir Puri and Peter Caddick-Adams will take a long view at Ukraine’s history, its place not only in Europe’s story but also in Russia’s and the Soviet Union’s. From the Revolution to the Holodomor, and from the Second World War through to the break-up of the USSR and the arrival of democracy, they will examine how it came to be that Russia invaded and began a brutal war with Ukraine in February 2022.
