A lecture\u00a0by Prof. Andrei Fursov, director of Russian Studies, Moscow University, member of the International Academy of Sciences, 14 April 2014.<\/p>\n
A wide ranging analysis of the 2013-2014 happenings in Ukraine, its antecedents and consequences from the perspective of a senior Russian academic.<\/em> A must-read<\/strong> for westerners seeking to understand what is really happening in both the Ukraine and the wider Anglo-US-NATO globalisation drive which it brings into sharp focus.<\/em><\/p>\n This is an impressive, comprehensive analysis of the February 2014 Ukraine coup from the perspective of a senior Russian academic. It details the interests and affiliations of the main Ukrainian domestic players – oligarchical clans many of whose leaders have dual nationality – with some shocking and little known detail. It exposes the glaring hypocrisies and double standards of the western sponsors of the coup and their Russian\/Ukrainian \u20185th Column traitors’. It sees the coup in Kyiv and Russia’s successful incorporation of Crimea as major game-changers.<\/p>\n
