reminder: 9/23 seminar with Mark Solonin

by Davis Center Calendar of Events

Please join us for a very special event tomorrow at 12:15 (see details below). Mark Solonin, a path breaking, controversial Russian historian and a bestselling author, is coming to the Davis Center to speak about his book The Cask and the Hoops and analyze the reasons for the Red Army's collapse in the first phase of the WWII German invasion. Did Stalin really plan to attack Germany, as some authors recently claimed? What are the problems in Russian and Western established historiography on the Red Army? Why did Stalin's formidable army collapse so quickly, and what are the reasons for its recovery? In his book, Solonin attempts to answer these questions using hitherto undiscovered documents from Russian military archives. All are welcome. Professor Terry Martin will chair the event. Thursday, September 23 Occasional Seminar The Cask and the Hoops: Why Did Stalin's Army Collapse during the First Days of Operation Barbarossa? Mark Solonin, Author 1730 Cambridge Street, 3rd Floor, Room S354 12:15-2:00 p.m. Talk will be delivered in Russian with English translation.
