[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[GoldstoneVintage]

Thanks for helping with my christmas present list - I’ve read a couple of them, but not all. Currently reading Midnight in Moscow by John Sullivan, the US Ambassador in Moscow in the years leading up to and including the start of the invasion (sorry SMO). I’m not very far into it but it gives an interesting insight into what it was like working for Trump and the exceptional challenges for foreign diplomats in Russia.

You're most welcome and thanks for your tip. My favourites were the Timothy Snyder books. A brilliant historian and genuine expert in that part of the world.

More about USA than Russia/Ukraine, but Snyders latest substack is chilling.
