What an amazing podcast worthy to watched and listened. Thank you Orest and Taras. Happy Sunday warm greetings from Australia Oblast 💐🇦🇺🙏

Wow, this is such an under-rated conversation. This paints a fascinating picture. I really appreciate it.

This was a fascinating discussion, including putin's misunderstanding and misrepresenting of Ukraine's russian-speaking Ukrainian patriots. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🇬🇧

I always know I’ll get a wonderful history lesson from Orest Zub. 💛💙

Great overview and analysis of Ukraine, past and present and what the future holds.

Fantastic Interview. Really interesting!!

A very good , very informative discussion..thankyou ... Has increased my interest & knowledge dramatically!! Greetings from Sydney Australia!

Great Interview !

Awesome interview. A syllabus for a college course could be created from this vlog.

Thank you!

Thanks for ur Channel Orest Zub..I was fascinated by ur family history..I had some idea that border's had moved from east to west markedly, but little idea of the population transfer in the late 1940's , between Poland & Ukraine & vice versa...extraordinary!! Again thankyou...

Great video, great author. One of the most knowledgeable people you will hear.

That was an outstanding interview I learned a lot i will be sure to share this to Facebook . I'm a new subscriber if you're other videos are anywhere close to as informative as this one than Sunday will be a day full of learning and that's a great thing keep up the great content Slava Ukraini

Hey Taras - it would be interesting to hear more about the smuggling of press and books into Ukraine in the 80s, who you worked with, who your Polish partners were, etc.

So interesting, I get to know so many new facts about Ukraine :)

As well..some further reading, to anyone interested.. Norman Davies " Vanished Kingdoms..The History of Half - Forgotten Europe..( Allen Lane 2011..Penguin 2012 ) Obviously written from a " British " perspective, still informative & well written... The reason i'm including this reference is Chptr 9..Galicia : Kingdom of the Naked & Starving 1773-1918.. An outline of what became Western Ukraine following WW2...it brought home to me the complexity of the region... As well.. Chptr 5..Litva : A Grand Duchy with Kings..1253 - 1795 Chptr 7 : Borussia : Watery Land of the Prusai..1230 - 1945 Chptr 13 : Rusyn : The Republic of One Day..15 March 1939 ...if anybody reading these page's isn't amazed at the complexity of this region's history, I don't know what could convince you...!! Highly recommended!! Slava Ukraine!!

Very informative!

I thought I would only watch 10-15 minutes. The time flys

Haha, as a German I like a lot the beer 'Frau Ribbentrop"

Excellent interview with Taras Kuzio! I have learned and am learning so much about Ukraine. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!💛💙🇺🇲🤝🇺🇦

Ukraine is very beautiful the people are very friendly.when I came to Ukraine march 2022.was on the front line in donbas British army sniper was on the front line for 6 months My very good friend is still over there he as been made a war hero Adam is from Scotland like me self am going back to the front line in a few weeks time.

I have no respect for people that make a living in political think tanks but I do support Ukraine.

He omits to mention the 1994 referendums on federalisation and the status of the Russian language.

The removal of monuments and replacement of street names was enforced by law. Regional governments that failed to enact the policy faced 5 year prison sentences etc. Some people join far-right battalions and commit war crimes. Post-2014 both sides committed war crimes.

A significant number of Iranian women feel oppressed by theocratic laws/regulations. It's a false equivalence to compare that with geopolitical zones of conflict. 4.5 million people have been killed in post 9/11 war zones; 38 million people have been displaced in, or from, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan. Not to mention two thirds of the world impacted by sanctions. Madeleine Albright said that, although it was a difficult decision, on balance the death of 500.000 Iraqi babies was worth it.

Early in the video Mr. Kuzio spoke about Russian speaking Ukrainian patriots, and then later discussed how people are now refusing to speak Russian and view it as the language of genocide/aggressor. I think this is a mistake. I understand there’s no rewind button to magically restore relations, but Ukrainians should not forget the loyalty shown by Russian speakers who rejected Putin’s invading forces. I’m afraid that after the war, those speaking Russian would be ostracized. This should not happen. Just like the example you gave in the video of spanish speakers leaving Mexico for the US, or english speakers in Canada, Russian speakers who stood up for Ukraine should not be treated negatively.

This guy's a straight up criminal smh
