A History of Ukraine: The Gates of Europe(an War) - part 12

2 years ago
14

Something of a Ukrainian history lesson, using Serhii Plokhy's 2015 book The Gates of Europe, and focused on matters relative to today's war, including Ukrainian cultural development and nationalism, Russian influence, the role of Jews in this history, and even the Ukrainian Greek Catholic or Uniate Church. Oh, and Austrian Galicia too.

This 12th part covers the rest of chapter 19 and finally addresses the Jewish Question during this period in the book - in mostly unsurpising ways: it's all about anti-semitism and pogroms. Then I offer a slightly different take on this period and these matters from Solzhenitysn's 200 Years Together, which will continue into the next video.
