Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE)…
You are about to watch a 38-minute video about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine from Dr. Kathryn Stoner, a Stanford professor and Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies scholar. In this video, Dr. Stoner provides a comprehensive history of Russia’s interest in Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union. She dispels several myths about Ukraine and its relationship with Russia, explains what Putin might really want, what normal Russians think, and why this conflict still matters so much even as it enters its third year. A free discussion guide to accompany this video is available for download at https://spice.fsi.stanford.edu/multim…. …
