Historian Sean McMeekin on Russia, Ukraine & Reevaluating Stalin's Role in History

Ashton is joined by historian and Bard College Professor of European History Sean McMeekin. Ashton and Sean begin the conversation by discussing the rationale and motivations for Russia/Putin in attempting an invasion of Ukraine.

Ashton and Sean then transition the conversation into the subject of McMeekin's latest book: Stalin's War: A New History of World War II.
McMeekin's revisionist approach to World War II is fascinating as he effectively makes the case that Stalin, not Hitler was the central figure of that era. This is an episode that novice and serious history buffs alike will find enjoyable.
