Summary
<p>Suzi talks to historian-activist <a href="https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/simon-pirani/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Simon Pirani</a> about the political and economic motives for the Kremlin's war, as well as the ominous signs of Russia's conduct seen in previous conflicts in Chechnya, Syria, and the Donbas in 2014. The campaign of devastation aimed at cities and towns across Ukraine, and the brutality of Russian forces has only prompted more protest in Ukraine—and in Russia too, despite draconian repressive measures. As the reality of the carnage and destruction sinks in, millions flee, but resistance grows. Simon writes about Russia, East Europe, the left, and resistance at his website, <a href="https://www.peoplenature.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">peoplenature.org</a>.</p>
