What is happening in the Ukraine, why is Russia supporting breakaway republics and how did it come to this?
In this special talk, historian Paula Kitching will explore some of the history of the region, the tensions and the relationships that have led current events. She will provide you with an understanding of the background of the political claims all sides are currently making. Ukraine has been the happy and uncomfortable home for Jewish communities over hundreds of years. How some of those remaining communities may be affected by current events will also be addressed.
