"Russia, the Destruction of the World's Whales, and the Nature of the Twentieth Century," Ryan Jones, University of Oregon
The history of the Soviet Union & the history of modern whaling are intertwined in surprising ways. Tracing the beginnings of Soviet whaling under Josef Stalin to the vast, secret & illegal slaughter of nearly extinct whales in the 1960s, this talk will explain how Soviets made an impact on global ocean ecosystems, how whaling helps us understand the successes & failures of the Soviet project, & what made the 20th century terrible for whales.Details
