Russia’s Propaganda has reached The White House
<b>Russia’s Propaganda has reached The White House </b><br /><i>How Putin weaponizes history and narratives to justify war</i><br /><br />This week, I sat down with two experts who understand exactly how narratives shape war, attention, and global instability. Olena Snigyr from Ukraine and Salvador Lima from Argentina joined me to discuss how Russia manipulates narratives to justify its expansionist and totalitarian policies. After this conversation, I am more convinced than ever: the battle for Ukraine is the battle for liberal values and the international rule of law. <br /><br /><b>Meet the guests </b><br /><b></b><br />My first guest is <a href="https://www.eui.eu/people?id=olena-snigyr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Olena Snigyr</a>.

The history of Veneto-Ottoman borderlands
<b>The history of Veneto-Ottoman borderlands </b><br />What borders say about political power and nation states<br /><br />This episode is one for the lovers of history: I had the pleasure of speaking with historian Vuk Uskokovic about the hidden dynamics of early modern borderlands. His research focuses on the rural communes along the frontier between the Venetian Republic and the Ottoman Empire—places often seen as peripheral but, in reality, central to the workings of the two empires. <br /><br /><b>Meet the guest </b><br />Vuk Uskoković is a historian from Montenegro and his work focuses on rural communes on both sides of the early modern Veneto-Ottoman border. Vuk obtained his PhD from the History department European University Institute only a few weeks ago! Before his time at the EUI, he studied in Montenegro and at Cambridge. <br /><b><br /></b>Currently, he is a Research Associate at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies. You can find more information about his current and former research projects on his <a href="https://www.eui.eu/people?id=vuk-uskokovic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EUI-page</a>. <br /><br /><b>Recommendation of the WeekVuk has various recommendations: </b><br /><ul><li>For the London Review of Books, <a href="https://pulitzercenter.org/people/alexander-clapp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alexander Clapp</a> wrote the article ‘<a href="https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n08/alexander-clapp/rip-their-skin-off" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rip their skin off’</a>, in which he talks about the contemporary involvement of Montenegran drug syndicates and their relation to history and borderlands. If you check the website, you see that the Office of the Former President of Montenegro actually reacted to his piece, and it’s clear that they are not happy with his article…. </li><li>Also, we discuss in our conversation the work ‘<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Not_Being_Governed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Art of Not Being Governed</a>’ by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_C._Scott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James C. Scott</a>, a fascinating exploration of how communities across Southeast Asia have historically evaded state control. The work of this historian fits very well into the subjects that Vuk studies! </li><li>For the real history-lovers, Vuk recommends the Work of the Yugoslav historian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Bo%C5%BEi%C4%87_(historian)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ivan Božić</a>. He produced mostly short articles, about the late medieval history of the South-East Adriatic. Mostly working on the beginnings of the frontiers, the establishment of the Venetian presence and the arrival of the Ottomans. The origin story of Vuk’s frontier, so to say! </li><li>Last, but not least: Vuk also points out i two different hiking regions, in Montenegro! One for the experienced/fanatic hiker, the other a bit more relaxed….</li></ul><b><br />I hope you enjoy this episode, and as always feedback is very welcome! <br />Saluti, <br />Vincent</b>
