The Indigenous People of Crimea: A critical facet of the Russia-Ukraine conflict you probably know nothing about
Jan 801:03:08Tap to summarizeI always learn a great deal from guests, but I must say this conversation particularly floored me as it revealed a central aspect of Russia—Ukraine relations, both at present and historically, that I knew basically zero about. Prof. Greta Uehling is a highly accomplished scholar and practitioner focusing on Ukraine and Crimea in particular.We discuss her recent important contribution to our understanding of these complex and deeply historical aspects of the conflict, Decolonizing Ukraine: The Indigenous People of Crimea and Pathways to Freedom. This is a can’t miss conversation that opens a window into the history and experiences of the indigenous Tatar people of Crimea and how their story helps us better understand the present ongoing war.Thanks as always for listening and supporting the show.

Here I try to make some sense or simply meditate on the senselessness of this whole wretched, ongoing escapade. This is a public episode.
