November, 2022
American historian, writer and professor at Yale University, Timothy Snyder, has devoted his life to studying the history of Central and Eastern Europe. He often focuses on the subjects of totalitarianism, nationalism, and the Holocaust.
Snyder knows better than anyone what colossal damages the nazi and soviet regimes have inflicted upon all of Europe, and especially upon Ukraine. He is not afraid of making comparisons to contemporary events; the historian remains one of the main voices of support for Ukraine on the global stage. It was Snyder who was the first in American publishing to brand the russian regime as fascist.
In his works, Timothy Snyder explains, among other things, the historical reasons for russian aggression. He has no doubts that Ukraine will win.
We highly recommend viewing his Yale lecture course: The Making of Modern Ukraine. The historian has published it for free on YouTube.
In September 2022, Snyder visited Ukraine in person. He traveled to Chernihiv Oblast, speaking to locals whose homes were destroyed by russian attacks.
In November 2022, Snyder joined the UNITED24 ambassador team. Like actor Mark Hamill, who is another ambassador, he concentrated his efforts on the Defence and Demining direction of support.
“I am a historian and scientist, and in the future, I want to raise money for the restoration of libraries, schools and universities. But now we need to do something more urgent, which is to raise funds to help Ukraine defend itself against killer drones,”
Snyder said.
Snyder has already managed to raise $1,300,000 for the ‘Shahed Hunter’ anti-drone systems that will defend Ukrainian energy infrastructure from russian terrorism.
