The Financial Time has a brilliant Lunch with the FT interview with Timothy Snyder, the Yale historian whose "Making of Modern Ukraine" course has been uploaded to Youtube.
Snyder is also the author of Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin.
I am aware that the interview may be controversial to many of my friends and associates. But I encourage everyone to read it and form their own opinion.
And yes, I am afraid he is right.
