Thank you for this upload! May I correct one thing? Around 3:55 Synder says that Putin doesn't know foreing languages. This is not correct, Putin speaks German very well, in 2001 he even hold a speech in the German parliament in German. Putin was stationed in the GDR (in Dresden) from 1985 to 1990 as a KGB agent. This doesn't change anything about Synders basic statement, I just wanted to clarify that. I think that the impact his career as a KGB agent has had on Putin's thinking cannot be underestimated.

Snyder does Americans a great disservice in his obsession on making Trump, in the eyes of as many people he can, into a villain who's just about cut from the same stock and just about as dangerous for democracy as Putin. Such a demonization makes Americans seem for the rest of the world like fools that half of them voted for him to be U.S. president. It's this portrayal of things that actually serves Putin the best in that it goes along with the idea which he's been pushing that the selection of leaders and especially the top leader should be reserved to some elite group ("managed democracy'). As a historian Snyder can't have such a huge memory lapse as to portray Trump as attacking and trying to destroy American institutions just because he called out certain groups within them for trying to use our institutions for devious totalitarian designs when so many of the liberals with whom Snyder associates himself with weren't that long ago themselves attacking American institutions like the FBI, CIA, Supreme Court etc. as tools of some powerful monied cliques using America for their own enrichment and perpetuation of power. Snyder has a talent in getting a narrative to line up with his personal ideological positions. While Trump says that Putin waited with his invasion of Ukraine until we got a weak president, Snyder insists that it was the "January 6th insurrection" that was the weakness which Putin was waiting for and took advantage of. The problem with that interpretation is that the protesters who breached the Capitol weren't really insurrectionists because at no point did they proclaim an overthrow of the government even though they had the building in their hands at some point. What they wanted was a postment of the final Electoral College vote which shows that they were not intent on destroying any democratic institution. What they questioned was something which Democratic congressmen had done in preceding elections. By having them be arrested and kept in jail for 2 years now and forced to plead guilty for very minor things in order not to be locked up for ages plays into the hands of Putin who does just that to those that protest his manipulations of the elections. This is not to say that those who turned the protest into a riot should not be penalized for disrupting the workings of government, but to have hundreds of thousands of people giving tips on relatives and acquaintances if they suspect they were at the Capitol on that day is exactly what governments get their "citizens" to do into totalitarian communist states (spying on one another). All this makes it seem as if Snyder began studying the methods that totalitarian governments use to control the people only recently and was not aware that well of how communist states functioned. Snyder, for example, has no problem with the government and social media conglomerates engaging in censorship and deciding what the public can know and what information must be kept away from them. So, even though Snyder is very helpful in getting Americans more aware of the authoritarian, imperialist tradition that is part and parcel of the Russian mindset and political aspirations, he does a poor job in not recognizing how the various social divisions and conflicts that our American neoMarxist left keeps coming up with and their how their constant maligning of America's image through our history serves Putin's propaganda narrative far better than some so-called "insurrection" that was not as bloody as "historian" Snyder says it was having ended rather quietly after just 3 hours. It's actually alarming that Snyder has nothing at all to say about how Putin's crazy depiction in his 7000-word speech of America as being the pernicious culprit behind most of the world's problems and evils is just about the same thing that many professors are teaching in our universities and colleges. Snyder ignores the one certain thing that came from the Mueller report about Russian Interference was that the Russians primarily aim at creating as much conflict in our country as they can getting one group to view the other as their greatest enemy. This is exactly what Biden did in his recent speech calling the half of the country that voted for Trump fascist and a danger to our democracy. Not calling Biden out on that really undermines Snyder's value as a historian of how dictatorships come into being.

I highly recommend Prof Snyder's series of 23 lectures "The Making of Modern Ukraine", also on KZread. This are the actual lectures he delivered to his history class at Yale. You'd think listening to 23 hour just on Ukraine would be overkill, but he makes it so exciting, so interesting, and draws in so many fascinating connections to the rest of European history over 2,000 years that it's effortless; like reading a really engrossing novel. A wise and intelligent man and a great teacher.

I discovered Professor Snyder gradually over the years. He strikes me as a really deep thinker, especially in the field of the history of ideas. In his history, ideas matter, worldview matters, domestic policy matters, fear matters, self-interest matters, dreams matter, ideologies matter. His approach, coupled with a huge knowledge and deep understanding of Eastern Europe and its history, makes for fascinating, well-thought-out ideas and views of what is happening. He is one of those rare people who help me understand things a little bit better, whenever I listen to him. Another person who has that when it comes to the Ukraine war is Lawrence Freedman, a professor of war and conflict from the UK. His substack articles on the war - like those of Timothy Snyder - are always a worthwhile read that helps me understand things just a little bit deeper, a little bit better. Worth your time.

Recap by Tammy AI with useful timestamps! 0:00: 🌍 The invasion of Ukraine by Russia in late 2021 is a significant moment for the Biden administration and the world, with the stakes being the international legal framework and the idea that countries should not destroy others for no reason. 6:24: 🌍 Russians think of themselves as a great power and want to prove it, while Americans do not need Russia for their sense of themselves. The belief that democracy is inevitable due to capitalism was a mistake and too few people owning too much stuff and dominating the media leads to a lack of democracy. 12:58: 👀 Understanding Putin's turn against the West and the failure of his domestic policy 19:15: 🌍 Russia's goal is to turn America into a total mess and American foreign policy does not matter that much in Russia. 26:31: 🌍 Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014 caught the West off guard due to Russian propaganda and manipulation of social media, which they later used in the 2016 US election. 31:20: 🌍 The conflict in Ukraine was about democracy and Russia's fear of a functioning rule-of-law state joining the European Union. 38:57: 🌍 Trump normalized the Russian way of doing politics, which was a huge gift for Putin and had a tremendously negative effect on politics around the world. 44:15: 🔍 The conflict between democracy and authoritarianism is exemplified by the war in Ukraine and Trump's approach to it, which shows his disregard for democracy and his willingness to personalize foreign relations. 50:34: 🔥 The current situation in Ukraine and Russia is dangerous, with Putin's actions having consequences for both countries and the world.

К тому же Снайдер весьма слабо разбирается в истории России, и абсолютно не понимает менталитет русского народа. Или он, общаясь с русскоязычными, что проживают в Америке решил для себя, что вполне стал понимать русскую душу. А вот тут Снайдер по глупому ошибся, ибо не живя в России среди русских, понять их американцу невозможно. А что же касается русскоязычных проживающих в США, так этнических русских среди них очень мало. В основном это люди других национальностей и вероисповеданий. Так что выскочке Тимоти Снайдеру лучше надо учить историю России. А то как-то нехорошо получается - преподаёт студентам историю России, а сам в ней дубина!

I was born in Finland in 1958. In my childhood, we were taught what a great friend we have in the USSR. We had a friendship and co-operation agreement with them. We paraded all our prospective Presidents and Prime Ministers for their approval. I was raised to see the best in our eastern neighbour, explain away the occupation of the Baltic countries - our Finnic brothers and sisters there. I represented the amnesia generation after WW2, whereas my parents had seen the deeply traumatizing Russian invasion, brutal war, the loss of our young men and our ancestral land to them. The war payments, the ever-working absent parents, the burden of horrors affected deeply the way I turned out. It has been heart breaking to follow the Russian destruction of Ukraine. Thank you, Professor Snyder, for your thoughtful analysis and your steadfast support of democratic values and the survival of nations previously considered someone else's "buffer zone".

Hey America! Listen to this guy!!!!

Just a treat to hear incisive, informed and humble analysis, restores my faith in intelligence

When I was an ESL teacher I had a class with a Romanian and a Moldovan. I agree that speaking more than one language is a wonderful thing. However, these 2 women didn’t learn to speak Russian by choice. They were forced to learn. Forced into a society where they made no choices about what career they could pursue. And when they did work in those professions that we in the west would consider lucrative, for them they were paid the same as teenagers working at McDonalds. They managed to get to Canada and they love the fact that they are learning English and French because it’s their choice.

We all know that primarily this conflict was started by USA and that it started way before 1991 with the aim to destroy Russia. Ukraine is just a convenient "host", because of the hatred of the Ukrainian fascists towards Russia. They are so easily manipulated, but of course lots of generals and Zelinsky enrich themselves in the process. The other very important point is that Ukraine applied to become a member of NATO. That is big NO-NO for Putin, but it would be for any president of Russia. Why didn't the West dismantle NATO like Gorbachev did with the Warsaw Pact? Do you think USA would tolerate Russian military bases in Mexico pointing nuclear weapons at them? Putin is on the right side of history. He clearly stated his objectives for the SMO. Read his statement. But now, I think he will have to take the whole Ukraine and de-nazifying will take decades, I am afraid. And where are the millions of young Ukrainian men that "bravely" chose to earn a fistful of dollars in the west rather that fight for their homeland? They all say that they will never go back.

6:12 - 6:53 Snyder got so many things right! I'm of Russian blood and I confirm that as a nation we are attention seekers and spreading fear gives us sense of importance. When I was little I watched lots of cringerowthy Steven Seagal movies (Russia loves him), and every time I heard the word "the Russians", I'd beam with pride that an American mentioned my country. This is how pathetic my russian mindset was back then. I've shifted since, but 99% of my friends and family haven't. I've come to realize that the imperialistic and frankly fascist mindset Russia exhibits stems from deep-rooted inferiority complexes.

Timothy Snyder's research and texts are invaluable for America and world history. His work is cited by most major world leaders who write about these topics. Snyder is so sharp, I appreciate his commentary so much.

He has a good understanding of situation. Greetings from Ukrainian living in USA

Your own biases do cloud your judgement on a couple things, but that is ok because you really brought a couple things to MY attention that were clouded by MY biases. I really appreciate this interview in the series, and the John Bolton one. As a former lukewarm Trump supporter, these 2 Frontline interviews have provided key details and information that I'd not been open to before.

I am Ukrainian who lives 30+ years in US. IMO, Timothy (I have never heard of him) knows the subject 100%, the real expert, not just knowledgeable, but understanding person. Excellent interview.

I grew up in California, a son of ashkenazi Jews that survived and escaped Muscovy prior to the Second World War. But my best friends were Russians and half Russian Azerbaijanis. My mother being a Dane, who had an inherited distrust of Slavs, treated them as my brothers. Their parents, were survivors, as was the rest of my family that survived and escaped to make themselves successful in America. My best Russian friends loved America and their freedom to make something of themselves without oppression. It’s a repeat of the brain drain currently occurring. I liked Obama, but he misunderstood these people, who were escaping a totalitarian state. Bush 2 was a doof being used by Putin. Trump was a useful idiot. But to view all of these people, my friends, in just the procurement of the current president being the view on all people who went to west as not without agency, is insulting.
