Victor's Children

The War in Ukraine Drags On: A Conversation with a Russian and a Ukrainian Socialist A year and a half after Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine, the war goes on and unfortunately the war is still not well understood by much of the left outside of those countries. Hanna Perekhoda and Ilya Matveev discuss Putin's war, some common political ideas about it on the Western left, the situation in Ukraine and Russia today, and what people on the left elsewhere can do to help socialists in Ukraine and Russia. Hanna and Perekhoda and Ilya Matveev will be participating in a speakers' tour in several US cities in September 2023 sponsored by the Ukraine Solidarity Network.
