Mark Galeotti is one of the world’s leading experts on modern Russia and on February 26 he comes to Intelligence Squared to talk about the themes of his new book Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine. In conversation with the New Statesman’s Katie Stallard, Galeotti will detail how Vladimir Putin and his conflicts have shaped Russia in the 21st century. He will show how Putin has waged his wars, detailing the two incursions into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea and the eventual invasion of Ukraine, and explain how those wars have influenced the country's politics and how politics in turn have influenced Putin’s military campaigns.
