Lifetime Learning: The Trial of Vladimir Putin

  • Snow Library 67 Main Street Orleans, MA United States (map)

Russia has been accused of a variety of war crimes in Ukraine: aggression, traditional war crimes against Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, crimes against humanity, and even genocide. Members of the Russian army already are being tried in Ukrainian courts. But what about the man at the top, Vladimir Putin? Can he be held responsible for the actions of Russian troops? Is there any reasonable possibility that he eventually may be brought to trial by an international court? This talk, led by Russ Leng, political science professor at Middlebury College, takes a close look at the legal, moral, and political issues surrounding these important questions.
