About this episode
How else, frankly, to title an episode which covers Trump and Putin, the CIA's Ukrainian cooperation, Russo-Iranian and -Indian relations, Belarus, and four books on Crimea's history?
The Vlad Vexler commentary I mentioned is here. The Moscow Times article on Russian-Indian relations is here.
The four books I cover are:
The Eurasian Steppe by Warwick Ball (Edinburgh University Press, 2021)
'A Seditious and Sinister Tribe': the Crimean Tatars and their Khanate by Donald Rayfield (Reaktion, 2024)
Crimea: a history by Neil Kent (Hurst, 2024)
Crimean Quagmire: Tolstoi, Russell and the Birth of Modern Warfare by Gregory Carleton (Hurst, 2024)
