Putin’s claims of ‘genocide’ conducted in Ukraine, view of Russia’s place in history and the illegitimacy of Ukrainian nationhood remind many scholars of the late-1980s Yugoslavia. In a conversation, Florian Bieber and Lucija Baliki\u0107 will compare the two crises with special regard to Western reactions, treatment of national minorities by their host states and principles of international law applied during these armed conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Join the CEU Democracy Institute and the Review of Democracy to hear more about the comparison between the break-up of USSR and Yugoslavia and putting the current crisis in historical perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The discussion will be streamed live on the Review of Democracy\u2019s Facebook page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
