The history and divisions between Ukraine & Russia

March 17, 2022 — DARE TO BE GREY

If you are struggling with understanding the war in Ukraine, this podcast is for you. Dare to be Grey’s Hannah Richter joined Elsa Court for a chat on the history between Ukraine and Russia, and the divisions between the two countries. Elsa’s research focuses on the political and sociological transformation of post-2014 Ukraine, and her time spent working and volunteering in Ukraine gave her a glimpse into life there before the war broke out. 

The podcast will delve into the history between Ukraine and Russia dating back to 988. We discuss what happened after the end of the Soviet-Union and the lead up to the invasion of Crimea. Of course we spoke about the Maidan revolution, the information war, and the impact on both the Ukrainian and Russian populations. We finish up with some practical tips on what you can do to help. Take a listen now. 

This episode is part of ‘Zooming in on Hate’, in which we are bringing together the brightest minds from Law Enforcement, Academia, Civil Society, Policy, Tech and Platforms to thrash out solutions to Hate Speech and Disinformation. Check out the other episodes at EOOH.eu
