A Pivotal Moment in the Ukraine Russia Crisis | Eastern European History

submitted by Marvin's Underground Entertainment on 03/15/22 1

For decades after World War II, the violent changing of borders had been considered taboo, given the cascade of turmoil that could follow. With the tragic exception of the former Yugoslavia, the concept became unthinkable. For that reason, 2014 was in a sense a pivotal year, as Eastern Europe again saw borders altered by violence and the threat of force, as part of Ukraine (Crimea) was annexed by Russia. This lecture covers that violent, disruptive event, and notes several questions and issues brought up by it.
