Description
ABOUT THE BOOK
Russia’s war on Ukraine is devastating the country and reshaping politics around the world. The invasion is a major factor in fragmenting left-wing forces. In this small book, Paul Le Blanc tries to ‘make sense of the Russian invasion of Ukraine’. His starting point is for a victory for Ukrainian self-determination and opposition to imperialism in all its forms. Paul Le Blanc tackles the following themes: What Mistaken Friends Say – and Where They Are Right, Imperialism and Illusion, Which Side Are You On?, Views of Russian and Ukrainian Socialists, Lessons from History on Self-Determination, and Where the Weapons Come From.
