"Maskirovka" is an age-old Russian military strategy describing tactics that deceive, disguise, surprise and deny - a "masquerade." We watched unmarked soldiers descend on Crimea, later learning the annexation was orchestrated by Russia. Today they cross Ukraine's eastern borders, where Russia denies direct involvement. Circumventing the norms of international affairs, Putin appears to be donning and removing his mask as he pleases. The Agenda explores the history of this technique, the Russians who have mastered it, NATO's bewilderment and lessons, and whether maskirovka has become the modus operandi for Russia today.
