'Putin in Russian History: Stalin, Brezhnev or Ivan the Terrible?' with Mark Galeotti

- Vladimir Putin enjoys drawing historical comparisons, above all for himself. He has compared himself to figures from Tsar Peter the Great to reformist late tsarism prime minister Pyotr Stolypin, but rarely seems to think the parallels through.
This talk will discuss where there is any value in trying to use history as a means of analysing his reign, and how far history has become an instrument of the Kremlin's nation-building project. It will consist of a 40-minute lecture followed by 20 minutes of questions from the in-person audience.
This event is organised and hosted by the Selwyn College History Society, with an introduction from Dr David Smith and the Q&A administered by a member of the society.

About the speaker
Mark Galeotti is an Honorary Professor at UCL's School of Slavonic & East European Studies, Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute and Executive Director of Mayak Intelligence. He has studied and published works on Russian history and current affairs for over 30 years. His latest book is Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine (Osprey/Bloomsbury, 2022) and his next book will be Downfall. Prigozhin, Putin and the New Fight for the Future of Russia (Ebury/Penguin, June 2024).
Always great to hear Mark speak. Thanks for the lecture.
This was such a great video. Much love from Canada! 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
I can't get enough of Mark's presentations. Timothy Snyder and Mark should team up.
Agree, and please include Anne Appelbaum in that team.
@@lexvangelder2525 Absolutely so! Terrific presentations always, from all three, with so much knowledge. Given that, Dr Galeotti's presentation is tremendous.
Russia was a failed and dangerous country Putin took control and it is now one of the best places too live, a dynamic and progressive country. All this is down to the great leader, but wait he does what is best for Russia and not the criminal elite that control the west, so we get these imbeciles spreading nonsense for pay.
@@lexvangelder2525 I agree, also add Julia Joffe and the silicon curtain channel
Too bad Ernst Nolte isn't around to join this dignified grouping, but perhaps, like the Dunning School 'aided' historical understanding of the US Civil War and Reconstruction, the Nolte/Snyder/Galeotti School of thought will dominate the 'understanding' of Eastern European history.
A first class lecture. Interesting and informative. Thank you Mr Galeotti and Selwyn College.
'Vladimir Khuilo' has a nice ring to it, like 'Ivan Grozny'
Абсолютно ідеальне ім'я
хрюк-хрюк-хрюк
Thanks for publishing this lecture!!
Vlad the Imploder!?!
Good one...mediaval times --> the impaler /-/ modern nuclear times --> the implosion device!
Thank you mark galeotti, always a pleasure to be lectured by you ❤❤
The lecture is great but the audio is terrible. Everything is louder than the speaker, who is very quiet: coughing, movement noises, somebody dropping something.
More like Beria. Hopefully like Beria he will get his Batitsky moment.
Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation, thanks.
When he was a young man, Putin's tutor was a well-known St. Petersburg mafioso. Do some research on Putin when he was in St.Petersburg's government. Putin's mentality and methods of operation have changed only in that they have gotten worse.
FUN FACT: "One of those who cooked for Rasputin during the Great War was a chef at Petrograd's luxurious Astoria Hotel who went on, after the Revolution, to cook for Lenin and Stalin. He was Spiridon Putin, grandfather of President Vladimir Putin." S. Montefiore, "The Romanovs", Vintage Books, 2016, p. 600.
Vladimir the Last.
You mean Vladimir zelenskii, right?
Peter the Great and Vladimir the Stupid
@@user-jp4lt7xu2gZelensky is VOLODIMIR, we know who Vladimir is....
Putin the Pointless.
You need to improve your volume.

Very interesting material and wonderfully entertaining delivery🎉
Patriarch Kirill of Russian Orthodox Church is ex KGB and one of the richest men in Russia.
Russia goverment IS a religion, not a state!
Ukraine has distinguished itself as a solid and courageous country with a true spirit of democracy. What more could NATO ask of a potential new member. Ukraine has done more to defend democratic principles than most nations currently comprising NATO. There may be minor technical requirement Ukraine must meet before full membership could be granted. NATO could not ask for a more solid member IMHO. Slava Ukraine.
Macron is not up for re-election. This grants him the power to do something righteous.
Could not agree more🎉
Ukraine has suspended democracy, only Ukrainians in Russian held areas get to vote. Ukraine had a functioning democracy in 2014 only for Nuland and other satanists to destroy it leading to endless sectarian violence. You may be able to write but you cannot think.
You have no idea about Ukraine
You just forgot that in any case Ukraine can't be accepted into Nato while it is at war with Russia. So either russia will be totally defeated (vaste programme) or an agreement must be found with russia and the first point for russia is a neutral Ukraine....

Vlad the Butcher.
Poor sound.
Thank you for the lecture and the video.
loved it!
Interesting point of view! Thanks for sharing!
David asks some really good questions, a great host
great stuff, cheers
Thanks, Mark! Excellent, ironic and thoughtprovoking as always
Wonderful lecture. Thank you!
Great Galleotti
BRAVO! I'm on an odyssey studying all aspects of Russia. With books, documentaries, podcasts, Russian film...... MARK, your content fills the gaps & crevices, with an extra layer of icing! I need more time to consider the choices, before I give you my answer. btw, I adore"IN MOSCOW'S SHADOWS"!❤🔥
Poo-tin is a monster created and fed by his own society.
His society includes Ukrainian society. About 5 mln Ukrainians came to Russia since the conflict in Ukraine began.
@@indycoon And how much left Russia after ? Also how much of them moved because of invasion not because they wanted to leave. I know some people, who indeed moved to Russia to relatives because theirs houses was destroyed, plus there were no direct ways to get out of occupation to Ukraine. And they are not happy there. But afraid it's temporarily 😔. A bit more time in Russia with influence of their propaganda and they will believe any bullshit.
How many Ukrainian schools are there in Russia?
@@zombopandaA few actually, it is Russia's third ethnic minority...
@@indycoon And all of them came voluntarily?
Mark is great. The sound was not.
Fix the sound
Thanks for an excellent talk - will you do one on China next? Perhaps by the author of “party of one”.
Could listen to Mark all day long! Thanks for this. Also Julia Ioffe, Timothy Snyder, Bill Browder, Fiona Hill to name but a few people who actually know what they are talking about.
Selwyn College not one but two mics there. Are they for show!
Putin attempting to be a Peter the Great or Stalin but ending up as Ivan the Terrible
To augment Prof. Galeotti's fine lecture, check out Savage Sage on Kyivan Rus vs. Muscovian revisionist history through the centuries.
А что за "московиан" вы имеете в виду.
Если Россию, так она так и называлась. Сначала Русь, а потом Россия!
I'm going with Putin being remembered as Ivan the Imbecile.
Wow. The land of make-believe.
@@dwl3006 Where would Putin be without his gopniks....LMAO
@@TheGruntski Where would Zelensky be without his drug money from Biden is the real question.
@@TheGruntski It's been two years and you still haven't taken off your "Russia Lost Simulator copium 3000"
Countries and governments mean very little, it is but a stepping stone in our development. People on the other hand mean everything, because that is everything we are and everything we ever will be
Hitler is omitted from the list above...Putin is taking his narrative straight from HItler's playbook also.,
The narrative that said that Russians were sub human? I didn't know 8yo kids were allowed to comment in RUclips
If you want to get in to the Russian mind, just listen to Mark Galeotti.
Here I would disagree. I like Mark Galeotti and his description how it works in Russia seems well described. Yet one thing the Westerners are usually unable to grasp is the slavic and especially Russian mind or soul if you want.
@@miroslavdusin4325 RuZZians 🇲🇳are not Slavic but Mongols
@@tomokaramolko8560 They are mostly slavic even though not so slavic as Poles or Ukrainians.
@@miroslavdusin4325 I'm Czech and our mentality couldn't be more different Russian mentality...we know painfully well about Russian mentality...it's not a one size fits all slavic mentality...not by a long shot. If you consider Croats or Serbs Slavs...which they are they also couldn't be more different than us or Poles. There is something deep in Russian psyche that says "we must be great and we are better than everyone else...that we are a providential power and nation of people" and "that"everyone is against us and our existence and culture is under constant threat"...meanwhile back in Ukraine Russia or at least Putin denies the existence of Ukrainian culture and nationhood and if it can't have Ukraine by coercion and assimilation...it will burn it to the ground. That is all the world needs to know about Russia
@@ldhorricks Do not mismatch people's mentality for the way how the politics in that country works.
nice to see you spruced up a bit Mr G.
The Legend
Tx Mr Galeotti
Russia entered the World stage with Peter the Great and leave with Vladimir the Stupid!
Vlad the Bloody Awful?
Ivan’s fatal fight with his son was allegedly over the old tyrant shaking his daughter-in-law so hard she miscarried. An old man now incapable of venturing out to inflict his violence onto a wider world.
bad sound matters. I can't here a word your saying
Spelling matters too. Need to get your ‘your’ and ‘here’ correct! The sound is fine. 🙂
I call him, "Mercury Man."
Finnish state media reporters are also in Moscow like Steve Rosenberg.
Actually, Putin follows ‘Ivan Ilyin’….an old line Russian nationalist/imperialist….Vlad Vexler has an excellent video on this…
Doesn't matter if you're Batu Khan, Ivan III, Peter I, Nicholas II, the general secretary of the communist party, or president-for-life; the Tsar and the system are always the same.
From Vladivostok in the East, to Kaliningrad in the West, RuZZians will sing lusty songs of their hero, Vladimir the Unfortunate.
Tucker was starting to wonder what was in his tea 😅
agree Ivan the Terrible is a close analogy to Putin. and we all know what happened after Ivan died, time of troubles, civil war in Russia. Same will happen to Russia after Putin is gone.
The description of Putin sounds like Chekhov from Star Trek... Search; Chekov Said What? - History According to Chekov in Star Trek, Chekov's Russian Misconceptions
Just one (big) mistake. Kievian Rus and Russia are two different entities. Just like Frankish Empire, HRE and Germany are.
He mentions history “entrepreneurs” in Russia, producing what The Boss wants. Do we not have the same process in the US? Produce papers about the “correct” version of events or you don’t get published?
👍👍👍👍
Vladdy the Deluded
Strange how one pint sized man can be so powerful and riddled with such evil bile and disregard for human life and how his cohorts clearly seem to support him. I am puzzled by this conundrum daily. I suppose it is how Hitler, Stalin and the rest you mention above, operated.
Khrushchev and Brezhnev were from Ukraine 😅😅😅😅
Nice to see you're realising where the right side of history is.
Question is, how many other colleagues of yours will do the same?
We shall see.
It's so fashionable to dismiss Putin as a fool or dictator. Nobody called Angela Merkel a dictator when she was in power for 16 years. The lecture does not mention the number of NGOs and "independent" media funded by the West. Russia has shortage of labor force despite 500,000 -700, 000 per year immigration.
Forbes today estimated Ukrainian mineral resources at 15 trillion dollars. This applies only to the territory of Donbass, Dnepropetrovsk and one other region, I forgot which one. If Ukrainian mineral resources are worth so much, the question begs to be asked: what is the value of Russian mineral resources, since Russia is the richest country in the world? The West has so far invested about $600 billion in the conflict in Ukraine, which is 26% of all dollars that are in the United States. If a person invests a quarter of his entire property in such an expensive project, costing more than seven times his entire property ($2.26 trillion), then it becomes clear that this person will not stop halfway. Therefore, world war is inevitable.
His name is spelled Путин not Пютин, so as fashionable as it might sound to call him Pyutin (like Pepé le Pew?) in England's scholarly circles, the MC should try to break himself of the habit.
So many crazy people that get the top job in russia😊
Vlad the Invader. A national mythology... oh so fascist.
The one who F'ed it up
Peter the Great…
great speaker. terbile audio prodution.
How difficult can it be to place the mic in the front of your mouth?
He just wants to be one of them
Very entertaining, but if this is what you teach at your universities in GB..... you are done.
The Etruscans [only historians remember them] were not United. How did that work out for them?
Only historians lol. They are widely remembered, Roman's took them out to start their existence😂
@@scottyd3138 that is about all they are remembered for, and they were much more powerful than the Romans. That was my point.
According to Putin Mongolia has the right to large parts of Russia 🤔
Another British Russia-bad Putin-bad commentator;
Russia's rulers:
The Great,
The Not-So-Great, and
The Terrible
Mark: " ... Tucker Carlson, who is a ......... journalist?" - Yes, he is. The whole world knows him. And you are .... a writer? Might be, but quite unknown, lol.
Tucker is, at best, a publicist but most certainly not a journalist.
Vlad the Impulsive
He is a propagandist not a historian.
putin is putin its not wwii times or monarchy times
Pound shop Potemkin more like
I would say vlad the idiot, as portrayed by Dostoevsky 😅
Always thought of him ore of a "Putin DeezNutz...." - A modern day muppet.
Long live the king putin
puten in ruzzian history HUILO
Vlad the Loser
Just Vladimir the Great. Though already there was one Russian Vladimir the Great, prince of Novgorod and Kiev, and now one more has appeared. The way he resuscitated a Russia that was practically torn apart in the 90s, which was as much a slave, under external US rule, as the current Ukraine.
After Mr. Putin restored Russia's sovereignty and geopolitical power, revived the economy, statehood, and returned some of Russia's most valuable and important native Russian lands, he deserves the eternal gratitude of the Russian people and a separate place in the pantheon of the greatest Russian, and okay, Soviet, if so the lecturer wants to confuse Russian with Soviet, political figures, saviors of Russia, along with the Terrible, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, and Comrade Stalin. Glory to Vladimir, Glory!
🤡🤡🤡
Do you know anything about Peter the [un]Great? Do some research about Peter's treatment of his son Alexei. Here's a starting point for your research: learn about the often used knout.
Another orc troll with time on his hands before mobilization 😂
Mikemike, you should chose a channel for less intelligent people. What about RT? You´ll feel so at home
A glory founded on subjugation of others is more a neurosis than glory.
I'm westerner living in Moscow, every single Russian that i know voted for putin, i don't know a single soul that didn't vote for him!
A Westerner? Of course! As believable as your statement about the "election." Straight up truth. There is no doubt about it.
Life on the troll farm.
Not a westerner. Westerners use articles. You forgot to use one at westerner ;-)
@ant-space I don't even know what an article is, in Greece we learned the English language from American movies mostly 😄
@@Posidaon That makes sense. Sorry to hear you know no one that opposes this cruel dictator who invaded Ukraine and is now destroying it.
i watch this, I am inclined to respect those that took upon themselves to research the shithole that was the communism and especially the OP, the red plague. That is why I was surprised some time ago to watch MG that found reasonable for Ukraine to negociate and give putin territory and people, for a ceasefire or, dunno, peace?
Him, Stotkin and the Pope, at various times, offered the unsolicited advise that Ukraine negociate the peace for whatever russia has already taken.
I ask them why ? why the moral prostitution, to give away so much academic reputataton, to position themselves on the wrong side of history.
They already said putin is a war criminal. So why "peace now" if ukrainians do not want to give in to the new fascism, why these preveiously respected people decided to give it all away?
REF Mark Galeotti said recently in an interview on YT with Silicon Courtain.
"In many ways Putin is the father of Ukraine nation"
"For Ukraine it depends how victory is seen; many in Ukraine can see a victory making peace now(and give up teritory"
No wonder that other media picks up and run away with:" there is talk about peace/cease fire now to save lives".
I don't think Mark likes Russia much. For that reason he can not be objective regarding Russia. He actually says he has an ax to grind. To get a true picture I prefer to listen to someone who has no ax to grind. I need a clear view.
Yeah, you do. And shouldn´t waste time on people who actually think and don´t just love Russia. Try Russia today . You´ll feel so at home.
This guy is a fraud.
Sorry but enough with the childish nonsense.
Не подскажет ли уважаемый профессор, сколько лет "самоходному деду", то есть президенту Байдену?
И эти люди упрекают российское руководство в "геронтократии"!
Putin in Russian history is Khuilo
