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!

It is always such a pleasure to listen to Professor Timothy Snider! Good job! Slava Ukraine! UA!

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.

One of the best experts on Ukraine and eastern Europe. Thamks for bringing him on

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.

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.

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 a pleasure listening to Dr. Timothy Snyder. Thanks for the history lessons and viewpoints and the Q and A.

Thanks to the Telegrah for these podcasts. An immense service in educating the public

I'm only 10minutes in and already this is one of the best Podcasts of the whole series, this Professor Snyder is a beast!

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 KZread. 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.

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.

I love listening to Timothy Snyder talk on Ukraine and slavic countries. I watched all of his Yale Ukraine/Russia classes on KZread 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

Love Snyder! So knowledgeable.

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

Excellent interview. 😊

Having devoured everything on KZread by Timothy Snyder, it was exciting to find a new and equally informative interview with him.

Thanks, Telegraph.

Incredible interview! Thanks.

Really insightful interview. Wish it could be a lot longer. Thanks from an engineer in SoCal.

We need to protect Dr. Snyder at all costs, such an important figure in these dire times.

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, KZread, etc. Imagine, bringing some of our great minds together on occasion. It would seem like.... democracy.

Looonnngg awaited interview 👏👏🤸👍

What an incredible guest ❤

Wonderful program. Dr. Snyder's series of lectures about Ukraine is available on KZread and I highly recommend them.

Great interview! Thanks!

It's always refreshing to listen to a real expert, one that thinks in terms of video games, not real war!

Bravo! Brilliant!

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.

Well done!

Thanks Timothy Snyder 🫶🏻!

Very informative episode

Thanks so much. I had not heard Prof Snyder before. What a treat!

So many good points a great interview. The best may have been the last and indo European development related up ancient Ukraine.

Timothy Snyder is excellent; someone with great moral clarity!

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.

Fantastic interview! TY

Just the most enlightening person in world.

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

What very fine professor this is. Great interview.

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.

I like the marathon metaphor I'm going to use it😮

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.

Up untill this war most people never thought of Ukraine. When I first visited in 2000 there were virtually no western people there. That started changing after 2014.

Timothy Snyder, a great historian and a lucid defensor of Ukraine.

Timothy always provides my reading list for the next month or three !

I am so glad we have Professor Timothy Synder to make us all critically think with all the knowledge he imparts in his books and Lectures... what each of us can in our own agency and moral compass do to help Ukraine.... in donating to United 24 Ukraine Naval Drone Fleet 🇺🇦 ✅, And boycotting those Western Companies that are still doing business in Russia (eg. Uniliver etc etc ) as innocent Civillians are blown up daily by Russians, and their Infrastructure and their homes....we all must do our part, as so many do taking in Ukrainian War Refugees all across Europe, everyone must play their part to help Victory come to Ukraine and its People, Govt and Defenders. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦💛

What a great interview, prof. Snyder is category of one

Please also consider an interview with the preeminent historian Stephen Kotkin.

Thanks! Great episide

15:59 Bloodlands is a great book. The sad thing is that it’s happening again

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.

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.
