Two years on from the invasion of Ukraine, Russian society has become more isolated from the West. Sanctions, crackdowns of civil liberties, military mobilization and a presidential election dominates the headlines.
Behind this is, Russian society is coming to terms with its new reality. On the ground, Russia doesn’t look like a country at war. At first glance the sanctions appear to be having little noticeable impact. Is this really true?
At this event, historian and Journalist of Russia and the former Soviet Union, Dr James C Pearce, will speak on Russian foreign policy and geopolitics and the attitude of Russian media and society towards the invasion of Ukraine. What has been the impact of Western sanctions? What will be the result of the Russian election? Where does Russia goes from here?
Dr James Pearce is a historian and a journalist of Russia and the former Soviet Union. He previously lectured for the University of Liverpool and the College of the Marshall Islands. He is the author of The Use of History in Putin’s Russia and is currently writing a history of the Golden Ring cities. After completing his PhD in 2018 at Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge where his research looked at the use of history in Russia today, and its role in policymaking and the wider society. He has conducted research in the Russian Federation, presented at several international conferences in English and Russian and has visited much of the former Soviet space.
