Russia, Ukraine and War

Without doubt this was a difficult reading list to assemble, as the news of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine reached us. The drive to war is not accidental but inherent in the logic of capitalism.

These books help us understand the specifics of the Russian and Ukraine region from an anti-capitalist perspective, and also show us how the drive behind modern war is always the competition for markets and the right to exploit nations. Not unique to Russia of course, it is a deadly practice driven by the world’s biggest economies, often spun by complicit liberal media.

Please note, due to unprecedented demand, a number of books in the original reading list have sold out, so we have had to remove them from the website. We are working on getting them back in stock as soon as we can.
