CALL Spring Course: What Lies Ahead for Ukraine and Russia after the War? [Video Series]
Calvin University, March/April 2023
Thoughtful commentators have described the Russian-Ukrainian war as a pivotal moment in contemporary history. This four-session course, titled “What Lies Ahead for Ukraine and Russia after the War?” and led by Dr. John A. Bernbaum, was held in Spring 2023 at Calvin University's CALL (Calvin Academy for Lifelong Learning) Program.
Over the course of four weeks in March/April 2023, Dr. Bernbaum shared insights and analysis about the origins of the war, why Putin decided to invade Ukraine, and what the Ukrainians will be able to achieve by their fierce resistance. This compelling and comprehensive seminar series reviewed developments on the battlefield, shared updates on the home front in both countries, and assessed the role of civil society in Ukraine and Russia. In addition, Dr. Bernbaum reviewed the impact of religious communities in this time of struggle and how they impacted the war and may shape its future resolution.
