Unfinished Empire: Russian Imperialism in Ukraine and the Near Abroad - Paperback
Description
by Donnacha Ó. Beacháin (Author)
For centuries, Russian imperialism has shaped the fate of its neighbours, from the tsarist conquests to Soviet domination and today's relentless aggression. This book exposes the Kremlin's enduring ambition to control its periphery, dismantling the myths used to justify its actions - from claims of shared history to the weaponization of security and culture. It reveals how Russia has sought to subordinate neighbouring states, and how these nations have resisted, asserting their sovereignty in defiance of Moscow's pressure.
In this incisive and compelling analysis of Russia's enduring imperial mindset, Donnacha Ó Beacháin sheds critical light on how history, politics and power continue to collide in Ukraine and beyond, and why breaking the cycle of domination is vital for global security. It is essential reading for grasping the complexities of the current geopolitical crisis.Author Biography
