How Ukraine Wins Against Russia — with Historian Timothy Snyder
Yale historian Timothy Snyder visited Prague last week for the Plus and Václav Havel Library conference titled “Borders of (Un)Freedom.”
The following day, Snyder was interviewed by Czech Radio journalist Jan Bumba.
Their discussion covered various topics, including the Republican nomination of Donald Trump as a presidential candidate, the potential impact of a Trump presidency on Europe and Russia’s war on Ukraine, and Snyder’s upcoming book On Freedom.
The following is an edited version of their conversation I published for Radio Prague International. You can access the shortened version (approximately 15 minutes) here.
In this post, I included the whole interview, which is approximately 28 minutes long because I believe there are a lot of good nuggets of wisdom and insights worth observing.
I hope you enjoy.
“Democracy is always really hard. … If you really want a democracy, you have to be constantly engaged. It’s not a matter of it’s not a matter of waiting until there’s some crisis and then being worried.”
