The first episode of a new podcast series by UkraineWorld called “Thinking in Dark Times.” UkraineWorld’s chief editor, philosopher Volodymyr Yermolenko, talks to world famous historian Timothy Snyder - about Ukraine, Eastern Europe, dissidents, climate change, tyranny, freedom and the plurality of values.
The goal of the new series is to make Ukraine and its current war a focal point of our common reflection about the world’s present, past and future. We try to see light through and despite the current darkness.
UkraineWorld.org is one of the most popular websites in English about Ukraine run by Ukrainians. It is brought to you by Internews Ukraine. Support us on patreon.com/ukraineworld

I'd love to learn more about the anti-tyrannical values. Thank you for the podcast, as life-changing as virtually all of your podcasts. Love from New York; I stand with Ukraine.

I strongly recommend finding and listening to Prof. Snyder's Ukraine class one year ago. 20 classes . the whole history of the rising up of Ukraine.

It filled a gap in my knowledge I didn't even know existed.

I followed Snyder’s online Ukrainian History course as well, notes and all. I also took “A Brief History of Ukraine” at UVictoria, BC, ca, in 2015. Snyder has since filled in many gaps for me as well

@@mchozen2958 Snyder is so good at keeping his lessons framed in a narrative way that you can follow all the different threads back to Ukraine in ways that opened many other research paths. 😊

Timothy Snyder makes more sense on this subject than anyone. Ukraine will prevail or win whichever comes first.

When skiing, I end up where my eyes focus. Putin's focus on the past means an inevitable dismal end for him. In contrast, the Ukrainians have admirable courage, ingenuity, and quiet persistence.

The description of “no-talitarianism” around 40 minutes in was particularly insightful.

5:45 and they start part of that conversation with talk about "anti tyrannical values". Good catch

No natter what principle you put out there in a conversation with Prof. Snyder, he will make an incisive comment towards further illumination or contrast.

Thanks so much for this podcast. All wars eventually end in peace. But there are many false interludes. We all want to see a peace that includes Russian culture and people, eventually after the current {reasodemt becomes a few paragraphs in a history book.

Во-первых, "ценности" - категория ницшеанской теории о воли к власти. Говоря о ценностях, мы имплицитно подразумеваем, что идеалы и принципы - всего лишь инструменты для достижения власти. Во-вторых, проблема не в том, что общество концентрируется на одной "ценности" вместо нескольких. Плюрализм "ценностей" приведет к тому же результату - моральному релятивизму. Проблема в том, что европейцы забыли о метафизическом фундаменте, на котором тысячелетиями строилась европейская цивилизация. После того, как Гоббс и Локк провозгласили его "естественным", то есть укорененным в природе человека, европейцы перестали обращать на него внимание. "... люди даже потеряли ощущение того, что, собственно, есть свобода. Они не умеют определить ее ценность, подобно тому, как человек вообще не умеет определять ценность необходимого до тех пор, пока он владеет им как чем-то самим собой разумеющимся... ...Отрицание столь большого влияния идей напоминает нам о словах Й.Х. Мерка: «У нас так же мало думают о влиянии интеллектуалов, как крестьянин задумывается о наличии воздуха, когда нет ветра»..." Вальтер Ойкен, "Основные принципы экономической политики"

You're right. Once we have the category of values rather than the good the true and the beautiful nihilism is on the scene. I'm not implying it's possible to return; it's just the situation.

Academic or propagandist? Mr. Snyder only recites the "bad ideas" on one side while the other side's bad ideas are at least as bad and contributed just as much if not more to the war.

The US threatened WW lll if Russia did not remove their missiles.

US would certainly be worried if China stationed nuclear weapons in Mexico, China not being a defensive alliance but an empire. And no, english is not my first language, witch is french.

@@PierreHolenweg-uc3xt If interested in developing a nuanced, well informed view of the matter I encourage reading "What Washington Got Wrong About NATO Expansion in the 1990s" (Carnegie endowment). Don't have to agree but will have to ask yourself why H. Kissinger and N. Chomsky (who couldn't be further apart on the political spectrum and despise each other more) pretty much made the same observations. Your English is better than my French, chapeau.
