Adam returns to the show to discuss the historical context for Russia&apos;s invasion of Ukraine. We discuss Ukraine and Russia&apos;s relationship within the Soviet Union, the shock privatization of the post-Soviet Russian economy, Yeltsin&apos;s 1993 attack on the Russian parliament, NATO expansion, Putinism as a product of hyper-capitalism and far-right nationalism, and how to take a principled anti-imperialist position in the face of Russia&apos;s ruthless invasion of Ukraine.
