Recent events in Russia and Ukraine have resulted in a local conflict with far-reaching global consequences. The majority of media coverage on these events has focused on the Soviet and post-Soviet periods of the Russian-Ukrainian relationship. However, current regional geopolitics have also been influenced by Russian and Ukrainian narratives of their shared history. To better understand this intricate and personal conflict, ISA has invited the following panellists to reflect on the historical and contemporary discourses essential to understanding the emerging regional dynamics from various perspectives.
I will talk about the securitisation and militarisation discourses produced by the Kremlin to legitimise its advances in Ukraine from the historical and cultural perspectives to shed some light on how the Putin regime’s propaganda has been created.
