For Andrei Zorin, a professor at Oxford University, and the author of many books on his country’s history, including an important biography of Tolstoy, and an essay entitled “The Periphery of Europe,” in which he explains how Russia has changed the perception on territories like Ukraine, it is not an ordinary day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Conversation <\/span>our in<\/span> Skype<\/span> intersect<\/span>,<\/span> when Zorin gets the call that <\/span>e <\/span>k<\/span>it was<\/span> expected <\/span>for a long time<\/span>. His wife and son just <\/span>they had <\/span>arrived from Moscow with one of the last flights of <\/span>available<\/span>. “This time is a journey <\/span>only with <\/span>with one direction. <\/span>more <\/span>sorry that<\/span> yes<\/span>leave<\/span>of<\/span> from the homeland.

With all<\/span>or<\/span>to for <\/span>was a way to create <\/span>a<\/span>e<\/span>consensus<\/span>,<\/span> and to justify an unmotivated war like this<\/span> THAT <\/span>just <\/span>has started<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Which are according to <\/span>Putin<\/span> the most important moments in the history of Russia<\/span>e<\/span>?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n There are three<\/span> Like that<\/span>. First:<\/span>we Russians <\/span>we love you westerners<\/span>widower<\/span>, but it’s you who hate us. Therefore, we have the right to defend ourselves. <\/span>This principle has spread <\/span>widely through television and the younger generations <\/span>ply through<\/span>r<\/span>tool <\/span>BOOKS<\/span>widower<\/span> school<\/span>.<\/span> reviewed and corrected <\/span>based on<\/span> this <\/span>supposition<\/span>of the Russian president<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n The second?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Putin says: T’i s<\/span>change<\/span>more<\/span> losses in wins, <\/span>or <\/span>on a prem<\/span>y <\/span>of the next victory. <\/span>Narr<\/span>or<\/span>tiva<\/span> our <\/span>HISTORY<\/span>e, dictated <\/span>from conversion <\/span>as through a <\/span>miracle<\/span>ie <\/span>of humiliations in absolute triumphs. Against Poland in the century<\/span> XVII<\/span>against <\/span>Napoleon<\/span>against the Nazis <\/span>in World War II.<\/span> Putin <\/span>has chosen to crystallize this vision, to do it <\/span>it <\/span>permanent<\/span>e<\/span>creating a wait<\/span>shm\u00ebri<\/span> eternal<\/span> ABOUT<\/span> revenge<\/span> to the West<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes I share <\/span>What<\/span>some defeat will take revenge<\/span>t ai<\/span> with the invasion of Ukraine?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n whom<\/span>only he says<\/span>. In this sense, nothing else <\/span>not <\/span>is consistent with his distorted view. Revenge of <\/span>his is e <\/span>double. For the dissolution of B<\/span>Soviet education<\/span>which he considers an absolute tragedy, not a liberation, but a humiliation, <\/span>like <\/span>and for failure <\/span>e <\/span>for the end<\/span>imit of<\/span> war<\/span>s<\/span> launched in<\/span> 2014, which did not <\/span>led to the end <\/span>ABOUT <\/span>the fault of the West.<\/span><\/p>\n yes <\/span>What<\/span>lighthouse<\/span>e<\/span> Ukraine has to do with k<\/span>e<\/span>t<\/span>e<\/span> access?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This is the third, perhaps most important, point. Putin sees Ukraine as a symbol of fragmentation <\/span>“<\/span>HOUSEHOLD<\/span>Soviet<\/span>. When <\/span>it <\/span>says the Russians and Ukrainians are <\/span>a people<\/span>if <\/span>e <\/span>said for the first time in an essay published the summer of<\/span> year t<\/span>e<\/span> passed, ai <\/span>new<\/span>goes back in time.<\/span><\/p>\n Until where?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Before the revolution of 1917, when the Russian term meant our people, Ukrainians and Belarusians. We were just <\/span>Velikorosy<\/span>, <\/span>Malorosy<\/span> AND <\/span>Belarus<\/span>meaning the Great Russians, the Russians of V<\/span>egj\u00ebl <\/span>and the White Russians. <\/span>that <\/span>in this<\/span> KIND <\/span>difference<\/span>i,<\/span> the role of the “big brother” assigned to us is clear<\/span> we Russians<\/span>. Putin can not tolerate that Ukrainians <\/span>refer to the Russians as <\/span>“<\/span>Moskal<\/span>\u201d<\/span>. For him, this fight is <\/span>like <\/span>a family reunion.<\/span><\/p>\n or <\/span>k<\/span>THROUGH <\/span>k<\/span>e<\/span>to <\/span>thesis any real basis?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n These are strange theories, which may be <\/span>consequence of <\/span>its isolation, even physical, <\/span>longs<\/span>of <\/span>2<\/span> last years.
