Show Notes
In a fiery speech on Monday, Russia's President Putin laid out a stark, politically motivated, and false account of Ukraine's history to justify his full-scale invasion. His main argument? Ukraine is historically not a sovereign nation, but a long-lost part of Russia. A part Russia wants—and will take—back. Historian Kathryn David joins host Brian Hanson on Deep Dish to explain the real history and how it explains the conflict today. Like the show? Leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.
