Aaron Retish, Professor of Russian and Soviet History at Wayne State University
A political and social enigma, Russia remains a mystery in so many ways. Come to Next to gain a rare understanding of this world superpower with Professor Aaron Retish, who is an author or editor of five books on 20th century Russia, and has published several articles on the Russian Revolution. This complex country launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, and the conflict continues to this day. This lecture will offer an informed breakdown of Russian society, politics, economics, and conflict strategy. This program is generously sponsored by American House Stone.
