From the Mongol invasion to the days of the Tsars, the Soviet Union to Putin’s war in Ukraine, Russia is a nation with a difficult and bloody history. It’s also a country containing nearly a fifth of the world’s forested land. Today historian and Comparative Literature professor Sophie Pinkham discusses The Oak and the Larch, telling the story of the centuries-long entanglement between Russian history, identity, and landscape – and what this means for all of us. Chaired by Caroline Eden.
