Putin, as a child, chased and cornered a huge rat, which then turned on him. Always prepare for danger became his motto. Centuries of invasions, “encroachments” and ideological “encirclement” have led Russia to see itself in a long, continuous battle for survival. From Rurik and the Rus Dynasty to the Romanovs, from Peter the Great to Stalin, and from the end of Soviet Communism to the current war with Ukraine, we will follow Russia’s long and conflict-ridden story to help us understand its relationship with the world.
