Given that Putin is repeating his version of Ukrainian history, it's a good time to share these excellent series of Yale talks about Nationhood, Identity, Culture and History itself. Focused on Ukraine, but lessons for us to think about in our own countries.

@davoloid Oh I so want to read it but have to focus on the people / myself through others... but if you want / don't mind then list some main things to learn. But thanks either way...
@freeschool Will give it ago, I watched them a year or so ago. it's actually a series of lectures, so you can listen in the background. Very accessible for me, someone who's only an armchair historian. The link gives a summary and links to YouTube, Spotify and apple podcasts.
