Kiev and Moscow in History
Bitterness and memories of a pro tempore diplomat
Pietro Giuseppe Frè
- In
- democracies,
- unlike
- autarchies,
- public
- opinion
- matters
- and
- partially
- determines
- History.
- The
- unprovoked,
- unexpected,
- illegitimate
- and
- criminal
- Russian
- aggression
- against
- Ukraine
- has
- shocked,
- disoriented
- and
- traumatized
- Western
- public
- opinion.
- Outrage
- must
- remain
- strong
- and
- determined,
- but
- critical
- understanding
- is
- also
- needed.
- This
- book
- offers
- a
- twofold
- key
- to
- understanding
- current
- events
- which
- is
- focused
- both
- on
- the
- synthesis
- of
- their
- historical
- roots
- and
- on
- the
- experience
- of
- a
- diplomat
- pro
- tempore
- who,
- since
- 2010,
- has
- directly
- witnessed
- Russian
- Federation’s
- autocratic,
- repressive
- and
- aggressive
- involution
- unravel.
- As
- Tatiana
- Yankelevich,
- Sakharov’s
- adoptive
- daughter,
- stresses
- in
- her
- Foreword
- to
- this
- book,
- author’s
- purpose
- is
- “to
- open
- people’s
- minds,
- compel
- them
- to
- recognize
- their
- responsibility
- to
- the
- peaceful
- future
- of
- Europe,
- do
- all
- they
- can
- –
- and
- more!
- -
- to
- in
- turn
- compel
- their
- governments
- to
- stand
- forcefully
- for
- Ukraine’s
- rights
- and
- freedom.
- Should
- Europe
- fail
- to
- do
- that,
- the
- price
- for
- its
- own
- freedom
- will
- be
- much higher.
