SOC ACE researcher, David Lewis’ new book on Russia’s occupation of South-Eastern Ukraine

Drawing extensively on his research under the SOC ACE-funded research project, Illicit finance and Russian foreign policy: new dynamics and linkages, David’s new book explains how Russia has sought to subjugate four provinces of South-Eastern Ukraine through a toxic mix of violence, political influence and economic coercion, creating an ersatz ‘new Russia’; a microcosm of the contemporary Russian Federation, reflecting its deepening militarisation and authoritarianism.
