So few can use words like Professor Snyder: to explain without aggression, to make his ideas easily understandable and very interesting! No wonder his Yale classes on Ukraine are so popular! I have watched all of them and was mesmerized…students that were able to take his classes are very lucky!
@colinjames2469 A Yale Professor and one of the world's leading experts on Ukrainian and Russian history. Knows how to cut through Putin's propaganda and pseudo history of grandiose Russia. What's your story, a Russian bot or a useful idiot?
Brilliant analysis by Snyder. His "Bloodlands" is a must read to understand the regional background. We must not betray Ukraine and support the fight against Russia.
I talk with friends in UkraINE ANd then this interview. My mind expands Lots of different ways. Ukraine has been a germinal seed of new ideas for western civilization
One of the best interviews of a working historian and Snyder ever. Pulled the thread on the intellectual history of Ukraine. WOW, great job. Computer Scientist from Florida
This is epic. Snyder relates his source. It is the people of Ukraine who teach him about freedom and what it is all about. Yeah. happy to have listened to him and Ukraine. Only World History is up for grabs.
This man is absolutely brilliant. His scholarship is not only impeccable, but his analysis of what he has found over the years is instructive both as examples of clear, soritical conclusions as well as in exposing how our misinterpretation of history--whether willful or ignorant--gets in the way of recognizing our biases in creating narratives that we swear are right when they are not. His point about the geographic location of the Amazons being on the Black Sea in the Scythian region changes the preconception of them being "Greek." That accurate geographic citation, as well as others tying the shores of the Black Sea to the "cradle" of western civilization lets us know that our history is more complex than what we learned in our "Weekly Readers" back in the day.
Always very interesting to listen to Dr Snyder. I read his book, Bloodlands, some time ago. I found it almost unbelievable to be honest. Many things of which I cannot really conceive happened mere three or four decades before I was born.
I love listening to Timothy Snyder talk on Ukraine and slavic countries. I watched all of his Yale Ukraine/Russia classes on TH-cam and have seen him talk many other times. I listen to Ukraine the latest daily i believe. Always smart talks, topics, guests and hosts. Slava Ukraini
A profound combination of thinkers, observers, writers and reader. I'm going to wait 24 hours and listen again. I've been tuned into Professor Synder since before the war, he was on my Twitter feed, I try to catch anything on TH-cam. Before Trump's "perfect phone call" Ukraine was unknown to me; the USSR was lumped together. I'm looking forward to the new book. But more than that, I am trying to figure out how to fight for democracy here in the US.
I wonder if the Russians have anything even halfway as relevant. I doubt it, since they have to go into any discussion on the topic accepting a certain set of lies before proceeding.
One of the best interviews ever. Dr. Snyder is intelligent and not full of it. I have fond memories of my late wife playing the carillon in HarknessTower at Yale.
5:16 “fatigue is a concept which I just find ridiculous and absurd. … the guy who runs the race is the one who gets fatigued. The guy who stands by the side of the road and hands out the Gatorade doesn’t get fatigued “ I love this. Разом Ми переможемо
I find this podcast very informative, today's especially, we don't get in-depth reporting on Ukraine here in Australia, the professor and his knowledge of Ukrainian history had my ears locked to my laptop, I can understand why he is in demand
Dr. Snyder's class on the history of Ukraine last fall was excellent. Stalemate also seems to minimize the suffering of Ukrainians. I also don't think we should ignore the suffering of the Russian population caused by Putin.
Timothy Synder is a giant of a human being. A gentle giant with an immense capacity to integrate a moral perspective with his more intellectual pursuits. His intellectual scope is forever expanding and is he not afraid to critically exam his ideas with honesty and humility. He is just not an original and convincing writer and thinker, but he is also a doer...a man who is unafraid to act in support of his ideas and moral convictions. I wish there were more people like him.
American politicians need to be listening to voices like Timothy Snyder if they don’t want to end up having their nation fight another brutal war in Europe.
Yes, I wish they would take the time to educated themselves, call committee hearings now and then not to investigate or posture for the cameras, but to ask a panel of three or four distinguished experts for their views, advice, some history on a particular issue. In this case, Ukraine, but it might be anything. I rather doubt they could muster the bipartisan humility to do it. But it would be instructive for the policymakers, and perhaps the nation who could watch on CSPAN, TH-cam, etc. Imagine, bringing some of our great minds together on occasion. It would seem like.... democracy.
Timothy Snyder’s incisive intellect is impressive as well as his articulate replies. He can retain several questions and answer them in various orders. I have dipped into his book the Road to Unfreedom, but I found it rather academic in places with so many references. Some parts are more accessible to the general reader and his message is important. He is particularly concerned that we may be sleepwalking into a loss of individual liberty, especially by abuse of social media. The parallel with the brutal suppression of liberty by Russia is clear, but our surreptitious slide to unfreedom should not be overlooked.
I'm more and more convinced things have to get alot worse before they get better simply because we(humans) seem to have base need to relearn hard lessons every 3-4 generations because the knowledge has died off. Our technology evolves but we don't & its still too cheap to act stupidly today.
The Canadian Ukrainian League has been under pressure in Canada as most of their original members were from Polish Galicia and Volhynia and fought in the Waffen SS known as the Galicia Division; they all came to Britain after the war as displaced persons, and because of their status as Poles when Galicia and Vilhynia were Polish at that time. They were all allowed to immigrate to Canada. “CIUS co-founder Peter Savaryn, who served as U of A’s chancellor from 1982 to 1986, was a Galicia Division veteran. Savaryn received the Order of Canada in 1987. In 2011, the CIUS established endowments in the names of three Waffen-SS veterans - Roman Kolisnyk, Levko Babij, and Edward Brodacky - according to a September 2012 article in the Journal of Slavic Military Studies by Lund University historian Per Anders Rudling.
Great to hear an academic doing discourse analysis and critical social constructionism on the Telegraph. Now imagine then applying that to things like Brexit and our own Colonial history
Right on! Finally somebody calling out that the words exhaustion, fatigue, stale mate, are bullshit. These are words used by people who are bored or outright hostile to the defence of Ukraine. Buzzwords in the info-war.
@@dominiquecharriere1285 Russia lost against the Mongols FYI. They only won over Germany due to lend lease and allies, the same allies that this time are on Ukraine's side.

Highly recognized is highly suspect.. Fabulous guest and no fluff. Intellectual thought is very refreshing to pontificating on many podcasts. Words matter. Resistance is a real deterrent and self supply a view of real world history.
Please also interview Kurt Volker as his views on Ukraine and NATO are important. He is providing an accurate reading of the NATO charter especially Article 5 vis a vis a situation such as Ukraine. Also, consider a panel conversation as we are at a critical juncture.
This guy is an intellectual lightweight compared to a real strategist like Mearsheimer. It’s weird he’s more focused on words being used that WTF is going on.
This was my first listen to Timothy Snyder. Quite enjoyable and I will be searching out more. I'm commenting as there was a request to relate where people are watching from. I'm in the South Willamette Valley of Oregon. About 1.5 hours, by car, south of Portland.
