Explaining Ukraine. Is Russia Fascist or Stalinist?

How can we describe Putinism? Is it closer to far-right totalitarianisms like fascism/Nazism, or to far-left system like Stalinism? What is the nature of Russian imperialism? Is Stalinism’s heritage still alive? Our “Explaining Ukraine” podcast.


We continue our “Explaining Ukraine” podcast by discussing horrible consequences of Russian invasion of Ukraine. 

Hosts: Volodymyr Yermolenko, analytics director at Internews Ukraine, and Tetyana Ogarkova, in charge of international outreach at the Ukraine Crisis Media Centre.
