Our latest episode of "Down the Rabbit Hole on the #Russia-#Ukraine War" comes on a day marking two very different milestones: the 31st anniversary of Ukraine's independence from the former Soviet Union, and the sixth month of Russia's ongoing invasion of that country. Dr. Yuval Weber, our Russia subject matter expert, reviews the six months of conflict from the perspective of "three phases and two questions;" discusses contrasts between the Ukrainian and Russian militaries - and national cultures - as learning organizations; and we end with a look at a highly unusual act of violence in the heart of one of Russia's most elite communities in the assassination of Darya Durgina, daughter of hardline political philosopher Aleksandr Dugin.
