The world is transfixed by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. What led to this tragic turn of events, and what might come next? In what ways do the legacies of the Soviet Union and the choices made in the aftermath of the Cold War continue to shape Eastern European and international politics? How does Vladimir Putin rule over Russia, and is there any domestic opposition that can challenge him? How effective are the policy options available to the the rest of the world, such as sanctions, likely to be against Russia? We present this list of books by Columbia University Press and ibidem Press authors to help readers make sense of this challenging moment.
