1/14 My six books about #Ukraine. I am called upon to answer questions about Ukraine every day. My books, which represent a quarter century of research and thought, often do a better job than I can while speaking live or in short pieces.
2/14 I don't often mention my books on Ukraine, because I feel uneasy promoting things that cost money while people in Ukraine are suffering and dying in this horrible unjustifiable invasion. I will continue to make meaningful donations to Ukraine. If you can, I hope you will too
3/14 My book that is most immediately relevant to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is "The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America." It is a history of the 2010s that links Russia's first invasion of Ukraine (2014) to its interference in US elections (2016).

1/15 "Открытое письмо от 177 Нобелевских лауреатов" (о вторжении России в Украину, полный текст)
2/15 "Нижеподписавшиеся лауреаты Нобелевской премии выражают свою поддержку украинскому народу и свободному, независимому государству Украина перед лицом российской агрессии."
3/15 "Действиями, напоминающими печально известное нападение нацистской Германии на Польшу в 1939 году (с использованием подобных приемов симулированной провокации) и на Советский Союз в 1941 году..."

Yes, Ukrainians are tough, smart, and courageous. But they are not rich. The average family earned a tenth as much as the average American family - before the bombing. Pick a cause and donate. Please. It will make a difference.

1/8. Russia has a history of aiming for quick and decisive strikes against Ukraine, failing, then revealing the aims of the operation in media prepared on the assumption of success.
2/8. Such a sequences of events unfolded in 2014 during a Ukrainian presidential election. Russia tried to hack Ukraine's central election commission so that it would present a far-right candidate, who in fact got less than 1% of the vote, as the winner.
3/8. The hack failed, but Russian media had been prepared for its success; and Russian television went on air with falsified results and even digital images that matched what the hack was supposed to produce. (See #RoadToUnfreedom)

1/11. Putin absurdly claims he has to invade Ukraine to protect Russian-speakers. Russian speakers in Ukraine are far more free than Russian speakers in Russia.
2/11. For example, a Russian speaker in Russia who thought of running for president would be imprisoned, as Alexei Navalny has been. A Russian-speaker, meanwhile, can run for president of Ukraine and win.
3/11. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky in this video speaks in Russian (beginning at 2:00) directly to the citizens of Russia. pravda.com.ua/news/2022/02/2…
