Five More Questions for Stephen Kotkin: Prigozhin Mutiny Edition
Stephen Kotkin is the Kleinheinz Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and one of the foremost experts on Russia, past and present. Given the momentous series of events in that country over the past few weeks, we recruited Professor Kotkin to sit for another installment (this time in front of a live audience at Hoover) of our occasional Five Questions for Stephen Kotkin series. In this installment, Kotkin discusses the recent mutiny attempt by Wagner military group head Yevgeny Prigozhin, Putin’s perhaps tenuous future, how the Ukrainian offensive might play out, and the future of the NATO alliance.

I thought the last episode with Professor Kotkin was one of the best discussions I have seen about the current Ukraine/Russia situation.
I look forward to watching this one also.
Great discussion. Everything from the information about tanks to whether Ukraine may end up as another South Korea. Always get so much from listening to Professor Kotkin. I would have killed to take Plato to NATO.
Kotkin helps me to make sense of the Russia-Ukraine situation and the cultural history behind it.
That was good. I had known that Peter Kotkin was as good historian. I hadn’t suspected that he was a good foreign policy analyst and current affairs analyst as well.
