About this Event
Full-scale war in Europe was meant to be a thing we no longer had to fear. So what can we make of the Russia-Ukraine War: must we question our assumptions about 21st century conflict, or is it an atavistic brawl from the past? Is it, as Vladimir Putin claims, part of a global war against Western hegemony, or an expression of 19th century geopolitical thinking?
Biography
Dr Mark Galeotti is one of the world’s leading experts on Russian crime and security (which are often one and the same), which may explain why Moscow banned him in 2022. He was educated at Cambridge and the LSE. After a stint with the Foreign Office, he has been a scholar and think-tanker in London, New York, Moscow, Prague and Florence, and now heads the consultancy Mayak Intelligence and is an honorary professor at University College London and a senior fellow with RUSI and the Council on Geostrategy. His more than 30 books include Putin’s Wars: from Chechnya to Ukraine (2022), The Weaponisation of Everything (2022) and We Need to Talk about Putin (2019). He is a frequent contributor to The Times and The Spectator.
