Vladimir Putin’s Aggression: A Cultural-Interactionist Perspective

Monday, March 4, 2024
4:30 to 6pm EST

In person

In this talk, Sergei Erofeev makes the case that if the problem of Vladimir Putin’s never-ending threat to the world is not solved through his defeat in Ukraine or a domestic coup, he may be driven to putting an end to it himself “amidst a revolution.”
