Rick will speak about his recent trip to Russia and especially Crimea.
In 2014, following the coup in the Ukrainian capital, Crimea had a referendum and decisively decided to secede from Ukraine and “re-unify” with Russia. In many ways, the situation in Crimea is emblematic of the Ukraine conflict. Rick will describe what he saw and learned on this trip.
