The purpose of the Russia Seminar was “to increase discussion on the Russian war on Ukraine and produce new knowledge on Russia’s military policy and power. Furthermore, the Russia seminar offers a meeting forum for Finnish and international researchers in pursuit of establishing a research forum on Russian Art of War in the light of the future membership of Finland in NATO”. It should be noted that the publication is neither a complete collection of all the presentations given in the seminar nor a comprehensive source of information what comes to Russian war agaist Ukraine.

In each article there is a clock time showing the beginning of the presentation in question. All presentations and discussion can be found on the FNDU YouTube-channel.
