'All Quiet on the Western Front'. And on the Eastern one? Lecture by prof. Vladimir Ronin

In our History Club with prof. Vladimir Ronin, we'll discuss what our country was like during the Great War, which ended exactly 106 years ago.
Belgium was one of the hardest hit – and one of the most heroic – countries in this war. Novels and studies, poems and music have been written about its role.
For many, including Russia at the time, it became a model of strength and courage, a symbol of freedom.
But much less is known about Russia and its participation in this war. Not only because the Western Front was, of course, more important to the Europeans than the Eastern one.
But also because in Russia itself, which the war plunged into the greatest social catastrophe in its history, the gravity of subsequent events has tried to rob this heroic page of our past of its meaning, or even to destroy the memory of it.
