Kennan Long View Series | Memory Makers: History, Memory, and Politics in Today's Russia
This Long View conversation featured Memory Makers, the recent book by Jade McGlynn, a Researcher in the War Studies Department at King's College London. The book itself charts the exploitation of the past by the Kremlin, the creation of a state mythology, and the justification of an aggressive foreign policy through appeals to the past and to historical memory. McGlynn's research explains the inner workings of the Putinist system and is, as such, crucial context for understanding Russia's invasions of Ukraine in 2014 and 2022.
