What histories and ideologies help us to understand Putin’s recent and illegal invasion of Ukraine? And why have parts on the trans-Atlantic far right embraced Putin, or at least shown such hesitancy to condemn the attack? And does Ukraine have a neo-Nazi problem? These questions and others will be addressed by Professor Christopher Vials, Director of American Studies at the University of Connecticut-Storrs, who will also discuss the Russian right-wing ideology of “Eurasianism” against the backdrop of current events.
