  1. This is a particularly good interview. I also really enjoyed his appearance on Perun’s channel.

  2. Look for the Yale Courses YouTube channel. Timothy Snyder is teaching a course on the history of Ukraine this semester and they’re putting the classes on line. Right now I think they’re up to the 11th lecture and I’m eagerly awaiting the next drop. The last lecture I saw had a guest lecturer who talked about the Maidan. Edit: 20th lecture

  3. Check out Stephen Kotkin’s most recent appearances for a similar but different perspective. You might not agree with everything he says, but he’s got a great mind and good eye.

  4.  @picogang  Yale is one of a group of universities called the Ivy League. I just had a quick peek at the Wikipedia page to refresh my memory before I responded to your comment, but I’ll just recommend that you have a look yourself. Yale, along with fellow Ivy League universities Harvard and Princeton are in the top five universities. I’m not sure which other two universities are in the top five, but if I was to guess, it’s Stanford and MIT. Anyway, have a glance at the article. I think you’ll find it interesting.

  5.  @garymelnyk7910  Vlad Vexler is a very interesting political philosopher. He’s very humanist in his focus. Snyder and Hodges are also humanist, but each has a slightly different approach. I see them all as complementary. I’m a regular viewer of Vlad’s chat channel, where he posts more frequently than in his other channels. Stephen Kotkin is another interesting figure for those interested in Russia, the Soviet Union, and Geopolitics. Like Snyder, he is a historian, but he has a different perspective. In my humble opinion, his perspective is also complementary to Vexler, Snyder, and Hodges. His most noted accomplishment is writing a highly regarded 3-volume biography of Stalin. (He also has a distinctive Brooklyn accent which many have compared to the actor Joe Pesci.) I also watch Peter Zeihan, but Pete is too reductionist imho. He’s an analyst and trend-spotted of Geopolitics. When I watch his videos, I keep in mind that his main clients are private industry, particularly in energy and agriculture. He’s not bad, but I’m not a fanboy. I’m not sure I’ve seen Michael Clarke. I’ll check him out. Thank you for the suggestion.

  6. From Putin’s perspective, it’s a civil war. There are no Ukrainians, just misbehaving Russians.
