Abstract:

Ensuring the balance of power in Europe has, since the inception of its republic, been a core security interest for the US. Today, and for the entire post-Cold War period, the challenges to the European peace have emerged along the line running roughly from the Baltic to the Black Sea. This is what we call the Eastern Front. The goal of the American Enterprise Institute in this podcast is to better inform the American people about what’s going on there.

Episode 24 (featuring  Dr. Aviezer Tucker):

Dr. Aviezer Tucker, Center Associate at Harvard University’s Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, discusses the themes of his piece in the UnPopulist, “Along with Ukraine, Putin is Destroying Putinism.”

He draws a parallel between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia, arguing that similarly to how the 1968 invasion lead to the end of communism as an ideology, the invasion of Ukraine will lead to the end of “Putinism,” what he describes as a “witches’ brew of authoritarianism, religious fundamentalism, nationalism, reactionary social values, illiberalism, anti-internationalism and anti-Americanism.”
