Understanding the Thing

Hi there!

In Understanding the Thing, our aim is to make it easier for people outside Ukraine to understand what is going on around the Russian invasion of Ukraine – and why. 

🔺What are the roots of russian invasion? 
🔺Are Ukraine and Russia really different?
🔺What are the Donbas, Minsk Agreements, and these 'People's Republics' of Donetsk and Luhansk?
🔺Does the West actually have reasons to fight in this war?
🔺Is it about Putin in Russia and what are the ways to stop the war?
🔺What about the Russian opposition and church?

These and many more matters we will consider through the lenses of historical, social, political, and cultural analysis.

Thank you for your time.
