Episode 384: Intent to Destroy

Eugene Finkel, Kenneth H. Keller Professor at Johns Hopkins and author of "Intent to Destroy," dives deep into the historical struggle for Ukrainian identity against Russian domination. He unpacks Russia's persistent oppression tactics since the 19th century, including cultural erasure and famine. Unlike past attempts, Ukraine's recent unification against aggression marks a significant shift. The conversation also touches on the Cossack legacy, the impact of Soviet policies, and the evolution of radical nationalism, prompting a reevaluation of historical narratives.
