This piece is wonderful for understanding how Putin’s control of information can tilt people’s understandings I imagine—no, I don’t have extensive contacts to separately judge—her family’s views are widespread, tho obviously not universally so. I think it’s important for Americans to understand that many people have these views how somehow Ukraine is going to rise up and attack a bigger, nuclear Russia But otherwise it’s the most biased telling of history I can imagine. More clueless, more biase than Putin’s early-Feb speech in which he laid out his MRGA vision

This is an interview yet the view is balanced and looks at both sides of the issue. There are personal insights into cultural issues in Ukraine and Russia
