The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History

Serhii Plokhy, (2023)

Serhii Plokhy’s authoritative history delves into Europe’s largest military conflict since World War II: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Tracing the conflict’s origins to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse, Plokhy emphasises Ukraine’s central role in Russia’s identity and the broader geopolitical landscape. Despite warnings, Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine shocked the world, leading to Ukrainian resistance and a united Western response. Plokhy argues that amidst a new Cold War era marked by nuclear proliferation and nationalist resurgence, Ukraine stands as a volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.

Putin’s War on Ukraine.

Ramani, Samuel (2023), ISBN: 9781787388512, HURST.

 

The book discusses the reason why Putin started the war based on domestic factors rather than systematic factors. It states that Putin wants to unify Russians based on common principles which inspired the military actions Russia took over the last decades. 

“This book argues that Putin’s policy of global counter-revolution is driven not by systemic factors, such as preventing NATO expansion, but domestic ones: the desire to unite Russians around common principles and consolidate his personal brand of authoritarianism. This objective has inspired military interventions in Crimea, Donbas and Syria, and now all-out war against Kyiv.”
