Ukraine history series - prologue with Olena Dudko

On Sunday the 26th of November I spoke with Olena Dudko. We talk about why history in general is important and about why Ukrainian history is, particularly, important as Ukraine is fighting an existential war for the survival of Ukraine as an independent free and sovereign nation. The conversation works as a kind of prologue to a longer “Ukrainian history series” I have been wanting to do for a long time, because history and especially Ukrainian history really captivates me. Besides that, I sincerely think historical knowledge is key to understand the Ukrainian will to self-defense against a brutal Russian aggressor. Because of that I am very happy to announce with this conversation, that I, over the next couple of months, together with three Ukrainians, Olena, Yevheniia and Diana, will be doing a “Ukraine history series” as a part of the Ukraine and Beyond conversation series.
