The Orange Revolution: Ukraine and Russia in Today’s World
This week on the EU for You Podcast, we are continuing our discussions with IHS board member Lilia Shevtsova, Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Moscow and in Washington DC.
Today’s episode features a March 2005 panel discussion on the Orange Revolution with Lilia Shevtsova and historian Roman Szporluk, Mykhailo Hrushevs’ky Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University. Professor Szporluk situates the events in historical context while Lilia Shevtsova discusses the implications of Ukraine’s transition from imitation democracy to liberal democracy.
This event was aired on WBUR, New England’s largest radio station, on March 20, 2005. We are grateful to WBUR for making the recording available to EU for You.
