#thegaze #history #Nagorno-Karabakh "Shunned History" is all about digging into the hidden corners of political history around the globe. Ever been curious about why certain events went down the way they did? Who had a stake in the game? And what unfolded afterward? Well, tune in and get ready to uncover the truth! In today's episode, our host David Walker will tell us about Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2008, Russia launched an attack on Georgia, claiming that their so-called peacekeepers had been fired upon. In September 2023, Russian military personnel, including high-ranking officers, lost their lives due to Azerbaijani bullets in Nagorno-Karabakh. However, this time, the Russians remained conspicuously silent. What has changed in 15 years? Are the lives of soldiers less valued? Or has less consideration been given to Russia, realizing that it is merely a giant with feet of clay? Let's try to unravel this. 00:00 Intro 01:46 The history of Nagorno-Karabakh 05:44 A new wave of violence after Russian Empire’s dissolution 10:18 Nagorno-Karabakh in late years of 20th century 09:35 The consequences of the April Revolution of 1978 23:05 The modern life of the region 29:03 Outro
