writes about war from a young person's view #bannedbyrussia
Had a great conversation hosted by Paulette MacQuarrie’s Nash Holos Ukrainian Roots Radio with Chrystyna K. Lucyk-Berger about our new books, both set during Russia’s war on Ukraine. Paulette is also an author. She compiled a fantastic Ukrainian cookbook. The interview was live, but will be available as a youtube video and podcast later on.
This book is written by Keir Giles, who is a Senior Consulting Fellow for the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House. He speaks with authority on the topic of Russia’s world-view and goals and the risks we all are facing because we don’t take the malevolence of the Russian Federation seriously enough. Giles shows how Russia uses the west’s openness, innate decency and democracy as tools to destroy those very things. Russia’s antipathy to the west is all encompassing, as is Putin’s ruthlessness. No enemy is too small to destroy, nor too big. This book will shock and inform you. I urge you to read it. If you think the current war is just about Ukraine, you need to read this book. If you think the road to peace is negotiation, you need to read this book.
