235. Olha Honchar - Russia has Failed to Acknowledge the Crimes of its Imperialistic Totalitarian History

Russia’s war against Ukraine has escalated significantly this year, but
did not start in February last year, or even in 2014. Its roots are far
deeper, and more malign than just territorial ambitions. Today I am
exploring how tyranny left unchallenged with continue to fester and
project aggression towards its neighbours. Russia’s attempts to dominate
Ukraine have deep roots in its Soviet and imperialist past and are very
much a result of the failure to acknowledge the crimes of its
totalitarian history.
