The Winstone Talk: Putin & the Return of History: How the Kremlin Rekindled the Cold War
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Trump’s second term and current conflicts in the Middle East mark one of the most challenging periods in Europe’s history since WW2. After the collapse of Soviet Communism, the West convinced itself that liberal democracy would be the dominant system of governance. However the rise of Vladimir Putin shows that it’s often unwise to make such predictions. Former BBC correspondent and leading historian Martin Sixsmith traces the historical forces shaping Putin’s politics, explores Russia’s influence on current global conflicts and reveals how the Kremlin is rekindling the Cold War.
The Winstone Talk is sponsored by The K D Winstone Charitable Trust.
