Never Speak to Strangers and Other Writing from Russia and the Soviet Union

More about the book

Focusing on the psychological and historical dimensions of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the second volume of this series delves into the roots of Russian aggression under the Yeltsin and Putin regimes. David Satter argues that the war was preventable and explores the implications of a potential defeat for Russia. He emphasizes the need for a fundamental shift towards universal moral values to alter Russia's trajectory of foreign aggression and internal repression, rather than relying solely on external influences for change.
