Russia's Lost Wars | OSTERWEITERUNG, Episode 4
Russia wanted to wage a blitzkrieg against Ukraine. This plan failed; Moscow missed its war aims, and the fighting continues unabated. Manfred Sapper and Volker Weichsel, editors of the journal OSTEUROPA, examine the Crimean War (1853-56), the Russo-Japanese War (1903-1905), the Finnish War (1939-1940), and the Soviet War in Afghanistan (1979-1989) – and find parallels as well as differences to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
