Revealing that entered the contest though artists and writers seek the word. Most think its called the show takes you beyond the headlines to the crossroads with the arts the communes and a date with whats happening in our lives today. Oh come on folks like that. Once i get to come. Ew off. He is. Welcome to the interview. The blood off in kiev last month and russias intervention in crimea suggests that ukraine is still struggling to escape from the ghosts of its terrible history. Ukraine is part of the borderlands that hitler and stalin chose to move that millions of people the clash of two totalitarian regimes has produced no one history of ukraine. Many histories and many narratives of victimhood that are being dredged up in the current crisis. My guest today explored this region in his acclaimed book beloved lancet published in twenty ten season with the sunlight that hes professor of history at Yale University and he joins me today from the austrian capital vienna welcome to the program. Let it be. In blood lands you juxtaposed ukrainian famine the home of course. Stalins mass executions and the starvation of soviet prisoners of war and postwar. D you take the ukrainians to start sharing lulus histories and is still healing process especially off that is very bloody events in kiev. Well it wont let anyone take quite a lot on the other hand it would take something that we take for granted. The histories that you mention of the policies of mass killing carried out by soviet power and the power i didnt have the ducks to pose them. There are juxtaposed in the memories of people who live in ukraine. Although these terrible policies be the german to be the soviets were carried out on the same territories. We separate them out. We separate out the journey to separate out the soviets its understandable that we do so the point of view of the family that lives in hockey for kyiv from the view over the course the Twentieth Century. Naturally all of these members are present in one way or another and as you say. Both guilt and innocence but fervent rationing and suffering creek the raw material for the powerful stories powerful memories which can be indexed which can be in opposition to each other in the country put in opposition to each other know what ukraine wed needed in order to put all this together is peace. Odd that the opportunity for a normal political process the opportunity for a free press the opportunity for stories to do their work and for legitimate lead different views of history to work themselves out in discussion yes thats the opposite of what were seeing today. Of course peace and a normal financial state in order to begin that historical process in a sense you vote you that this revolution can still fail what do you mean by that other girl that was a very optimistic of a prisoner of your first question because it was it was a Civic Movement include people of all backgrounds including additions ukrainians and russians killer russians armenians. Korean pop stars and it was about acidic notion of ukraine with the soda paste precisely the kind of framework of mine one might wish for the country. Of course the revolution can sell a stock when it built this point because anything happens inside ukraine inside ukraine all crumpled doctors have recognized the outcome you can only fail as a result of outside pressure and of course as we know the pressure is now being applied in a very precise way the Russian Military is present in crimea. I believe that they are there because people are cruel believe that this pressure will simply just applying this pressure will be the ukrainian political system to clocks who would you think that kind of cre eclipses in terms of irresponsibility on the European Union and. And you think the eu can actually come together because in the last three months of this crisis weve seen that theyve been quite reluctant to be more engaged at the tt on the financial front. Its a very good question because of course if you read whether the Russian Diplomats have to say what the Russian Press has to say or what the end of the highest leaders of rogue states have to say what happened in ukraine was all a matter of american and or european indoor Big International conspiratorial auction. In fact it was very much a protest movement which came from below. His memory as you quite rightly say where very frustrated with the European Union and also very frustrated United States they tended to think that the americans and europeans were not only possible in some sense. Encouraging other passivity in their weakness the acceleration of oppression inside inside ukraine. So the band and as you know they rallied the us and European Union only at the very last minute when youre between ukrainian regime is already killing its people. Very large numbers that said whats happening now is no longer just about the fate of a recluse in ukraine. Its about International Principles like this but the recognition of sovereignty of like the rule of law International Law generally. Eros the particular commitments that are very important year for example russia along with the uk United States applies itself to recognize ukraines territorial sovereignty when ukraine give up Nuclear Weapons. So whats happening now as an example of the state that gave up Nuclear Weapons then being invaded gaza. Thats an extremely bad precedent which goes well beyond the territory and you cry. We took a little bit about the exit to compete americans about whats happened in use already alluded to them russia of course is told to love about the influence of ultra nationalists. Do you think its fair to say of world of russia has exaggerated the influence of those ultra nationalists while the eu has on the plate there and lots of other ago all of the first half of that. The ukrainian nationalism is my subject that thats thats what i worked on this is what followed is the source is to know about and certainly there are ukrainian nationalists and certainly they played a part of the revolution. Alongside everybody else when you have a National Revolution that means that everybody is present. Old women young men people on the right ppl on the left people from all over the country people of different sexual orientations people to political orientations people of different commitments and visions in the future the tickle tickle the world will resume to bring all those people together out on the street what they have in common was that they all wanted Something Like the rule of law no way this has been spun in moscow is that it is all about ukrainian nationalists who were called fascists and nazis. That is simply not true the sudden narrative version exaggeration simply not true that you think that the European Union should be glory and say more about the fact that the Freedom Party has now. Several cabinet positions as several ministries in in the interim government now i point this out because youre in austria and in two thousand the European Union actually slapped diplomatic sanctions on austria because of political freedom. I had just that and said the Coalition Government and frankly when you look at to have the Freedom Party in austria doesnt seem very different from a small bowl of dough which is in the interim government in kiev. Honestly i think there are more important things going on right now. Whats the boat is going to be real no suitable to a rose as the house opposition to the article that regime the way the ukrainian politics work these last four years was a demo code which monopolized all political power and unsupported still botha as the supposedly right wing alternative. This was very convenient because it meant that donald called which could win in the election because of course he could beat her right wing party in ukraine because theres only a very limited support for the foreign press. Some of them never polled more than ten percent. I dont think it ever will. In a revolutionary situation. The people who are members of the vote actually we are actually rebelled against their leaders and father easy. Their leader does not have a post in in this government and the engine to see what happens is a vote in the future but i think in conditions of democracy there is no way that theyre going for more than ten percent and probably much the last because now there are enough to compete with the normal center right party which has an impossible standard to the study you can say with tool. In addition to naturalism you in ukraine on the way to achieve your race and then some in russia and i think is super important part of this whole story that no one has already talked about much. You think of the turnaround in kiev is a setback. Itll just to the Customs Union but the safer the ideology of your race and then some. Its a very good question. Those of us were concerned about the bulldogs in the far right in ukraine are of course much more concerned about your reasons and because youre a citizen is also a far right wing ideology. Likes the boat of the russian state has a big powerful actor and skilled the entire world whats happening in ukraine today is is announced by the russians in their own propaganda as the beginning of the campaign to restore right wing values those first in europe first to russia and europe and the rest the world so insofar as were concerned about the threat of the right in Eastern Europe the place we will look first is the place that sending the armys other peoples countries. Lets just talk a bit more about what this book this will view it as a means of sleep. Mixes nationalism and bolts of ism which on the face of it would seem to be too. Quite incompatible things but just explain to us about how those two things if you use. And here is promoting this in the kremlin yes it is said to their influence of ideas that are two basic honesty is the first is that the rule democracy has played itself out. We oppose the rule democracy. The second is from the history the Twentieth Century both the fashion side and the boss of excited we are allowed to pull out the parts that we liked best and mix them together. It doesnt have to be coherent so that what you end up with the key reason is and is the idea that russia is a particular civilization. It embodies particular virtues their security virtues of other civilizations and that therefore russian politics has to be about preserving at all costs. Those particular virtues. This has the implication that the institutions that we take for granted the rule of law democracy the free market the social welfare state rates for sexual minorities rights for minorities. All of these things therefore be classified under the decadence of western civilization. Those are things which are seen as threats to this russian order and then of course im uber convicts at some of it. Some people close to pretend to have promoted this this this will view. Do you think it has any implications for ukraine right now perhaps the pony apple of the russian speaking regions in ukraine of course it does of course it was because implication for russias borders. Isnt everyone who can be seen. In this manner as as as raw material for the russian in the community is fair game for indonesia. Of course the people in question were being invaded dont see it this way at all. The russian speakers in ukraine arms are signing petitions against the war begins protection which they see as unnecessary theyre on the streets protesting the russian invasion but thats irrelevant. This is all a mess. So anyone whos a russian speaker in kazakhstan for example which has a much larger russian minority is potentially governed by this doctrine but its more than that. This is an attempt to rival the values of the European Union and of what people in the west see as their values and john mckay will of steel and a possible candidates for the eurasian as them and thats a very interesting place to end this interview someone a thank you to the snyder professor of history at Yale University for joining us on the nz herald has been kept. Thanks for watching. Er. I did. I mean meaningless. And when at all. The road. I do. You need. You pay to st kitts was a great day. Because breaking the old one. So much the eagles to play.
