Dear colleagues, I am sending you a link to an issue of a magazine that I hope will interest you. I find the theses of Richard Sakwa and Andrea P. Tsygankov particularly interesting. You can follow their stories about international politics and nationalism on the Internet.War in Ukraine: The Clash of Norms and Ontologies | Journal of Military and Strategic Studies (jmss.org)
I also consider the book, George Beeb: The Russian Trap...., by the former head of the CIA for Russia, who currently works at the Wilson Center as vice president, encouraging and provocative.
