About this episode
Eighty years since the surrender of Nazi forces, we consider the differing ways that nations frame that distant history for today; none does so more gravely than Russia. Our “ Archive 1945 ” project relives The Economist ‘s reporting on the last days of war in Europe. And we examine how European defence has changed, and how Britain’s celebrations hint at a world perhaps forever lost. Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+ .
