Event details

This lecture will draw on new survey data she has collected with ordinary people in Ukraine and other countries in Russia's near abroad, both before and after the invasion of Ukraine. The same people were surveyed where possible to examine how their attitudes to geopolitics changed during this period. This lecture examines these responses and the implications for the future of the region in light of Putin's war.
