Recommendation

This illuminating roundtable discussion among noted historians Yuval Noah Harari, Timothy Snyder and Anne Applebaum, and with Ukrainian MP Yegor Chernev, features important insights on the conflict in Ukraine and its implications for the future of democracy. The participants take particular note that, since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the paths Ukraine and Russia have taken have radically diverged, and that, as the conflict drags on, Ukraine’s identity as a sovereign nation has only grown stronger.

Take-Aways

  • Vladimir Putin’s justifications for invading Ukraine aren’t based in reality.
  • The outcomes of the war in Ukraine will have an outsized influence on democracy globally.
  • The rest of the world can help Ukraine in a variety of ways.
