ConnecticutRussia: The Inevitability of Now
Saturday, May 14, 2022 - 12:00pm
The League of Women Voters of Litchfield County invites you to their annual international luncheon.
Guest speaker Dr. James Hatt reflects upon how and when Putin has been insistent that declarations of independent statehood by lands he considers inherently Russian resulted from the actions of a malevolent America. Since the Chechen war of 1999, Western powers vacillated between willful ignorance and timid acceptance of Putin’s Kremlin, generating a momentum of inevitability to now, the second invasion of Ukraine since 2014. RSVP by May 4th.
