We spoke to Stephan about how his new book, the first comprehensive look into how the border between Russia and Ukraine was drawn, helps us better understand today’s current conflict between the two nations; how politicians, experts, and people from the border regions worked together to create the Soviet Republic borders in the 1920s and early 1930s; and the amazing detailed maps that accompany this rich history throughout the book.
