0/6 FAQ about my new #Ukraine audiobook (On Tyranny: Expanded Audio Edition)
1/6 Will the new Ukraine audiobook be available in print?
There is no text. I wasn't reading. I was speaking to you. I did this very quickly, from notes, in the form of twenty conversational lectures, sometimes ambitious intellectually, sometimes intimate and close.
2/6 Will the audiobook be available in the UK/other countries?
The audiobook will be available in the US, Canada and select other countries on April 19. There isn't yet but might be a UK edition. I guess it might depend on how many people ask that question.
3/6 What about the original edition?
The original ON TYRANNY will remain available as a paperback and audiobook. We also have the beautiful graphic edition, illustrated by the wonderful @NoraKrug.
4/6 How much new content is there?
A lot. Much more than there is "old" content. A whole normal book's worth. This audiobook is about five times longer than the original. The new lessons are approximately eight hours.
5/6 What if I already bought ON TYRANNY?
Think of this as an addition to a family. If you don't have the original audiobook, this includes the original audiobook and much more new material. The original recording of ON TYRANNY is still available.
6/6 Where are you donating your proceeds?
I will direct all of my earnings to groups assisting Ukraine. My substack has several lists of NGOs and gives you some idea of what I have been doing.

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…
