The Eastern Front and the Great War: Drawing Historical Parallels (with Nick Lloyd)

On this episode of The Eastern Front, Dalibor and Iulia welcome Nick Lloyd, a historian and professor of modern warfare at King's College London to discuss historical parallels to our current moment. What parallels can be drawn from Russia's experience in World War I to now? How can the lessons of implementation of new technologies in WWI be compared to the roll out of drones and surveillance technology currently in the war in Ukraine?In their news segment, Dalibor and Iulia discuss the implications of the Georgian election results and analyze what a Trump victory means for the Eastern Front. How much did election fraud contribute to the Georgian Dream's victory? How should European leaders respond to a future Trump presidency?Show notes: Sign up for The Eastern Front‘s bi-weekly newsletter here and follow us on X here. Find Nick Lloyd's new book The Eastern Front: A History of the First World War here.

Ensuring the balance of power in Europe has, since the inception of our republic, been a core security interest for the US. Today, and for the entire post-Cold War period, the challenges to the European peace have emerged along the line running roughly from the Baltic to the Black Sea. This is what we call the Eastern Front. Our goal in this podcast is to better inform the American people about what’s going on there. Join us, Iulia Joja and Dalibor Rohac every week on in our discussions on what’s next for “The Eastern Front.”
