A quick bibliography of references on Ukraine

Sometimes, when discussing Ukraine one gets the sense that different languages are being spoken, or at the very least, different reference points. So, I provide a very brief list of key thinkers here. All of the following have made marathon careers studying fascism, autocracies, authoritarianism. You could spend hours and hours on each of them, diving into their writings, interviews, podcasts, substacks.

 

General:

 

Prof Phillips O'Brien - Head of the School of International Relations, Uni St. Andrew
Professor of Strategic Studies/ War Studies. Find his substack and podcast here: https://phillipspobrien.substack.com

Prof. Timothy Snyder

On youtube, find 20-hour course lectures on Ukraine, when he taught at Yale.

In urban geography specifically:

Prof Vlad Mykhnenko

(some here might also know him for his path-breaking work on shrinking cities)

Here is a collection of articles on Ukraine at the Transactions of the British Institute of Geographers -- the journal of the Royal Geographical Society.  All of these articles speak to each other. I would recommend to comb all the bibliographies for further important references! Kryvets and Carr also have a paper as part of this conversation: It should actually be listed there (note to self: contact publisher).  But here is a link to the article in the meantime.
