- Опубліковано 19 лис 2022
- Timothy Snyder, an American historian and professor at Yale University spoke at a banquet in support of Ukrainian Catholic University held in New York City. The event was held on 6 November 2022 with the support of Friends of UCU and the Ukrainian Catholic University Foundation.
“The way Ukraine is resisting the terrible Russian invasion is an example of a strong civil society. And for me, one of the best ways to support this civil society in Ukraine is to support Ukrainian Catholic University,” said Timothy Snyder in his speech.
Timothy Snyder’s full speech is available on UCU’s UA-cam channel.
Thank you Dr. Snyder - Your brilliance is needed at this moment in History.
Thank you Dr. Snyder! Thank you!!!
Snyder is an absolute gift.
Thank you Dr. Snyder!
Am I the only one who is a bit freaked out by the background sound of plates and cutlery as people eat a meal while TS lists the atrocities of an ongoing genocide?!? As an event organiser myself I feel this is an unhappy combination to say the least.
I agree.
I think it's disgusting that he is perpetuating this ridiculous notion that putin is the second coming of Hitler and that this is another genocide it's completely preposterous and frankly extremely dangerous. But of course a Jewish writer who is best friends with zelensky and makes his living talking is not biased at all
@@greysungrow2075All depends on your mindset. You obviously think that evil elf in the kremlin is a saint!!!
Agree. Incredible and sad.
Did you not notice how it gradually became silent in the room?
Holy cow. This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime speeches. His point how western democracies and future generations owe the Ukraine and Zelenskyy is just so well pointed out here. I’ll likely think of this speech for the rest of my life.
He is so inspiring, truthful and direct; and seems ethical to his very core
I'm watching every thing this guy puts out and always looking for more. To anybody, YaleCourses "The Making of Modern Ukraine". Watch it, take notes and be prepared to watch all 23 lectures twice. It's dense, he talks fast and it's well worth the time.
I'm watching that too. It sure
taught me so much more than I wanted to know and I'm only on the 6th lecture. This guy is brilliant!👏
As a citizen of a former colony that managed to eject the occupiers from most but not all of our territory, being aware of the horrendous experience of my fore-bearers and still to this way having to listen to the dismissal of our cultural identity by that coloniser, there is no doubt that Genocide is being committed by the Muscovites on the diverse peoples of Ukraine. Dignity is what makes us human. Resistance to assaults upon our personal and shared dignity ( self-determination) is existential. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦✊🏼🇮🇪 solidarity from Ireland.
This cutlery sound is unbearable...
I agree
America owes brave Ukraine is 💯 correct 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸💪 Thank you, Timothy Snyder
🌬🙏 Merci! Tellement. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦
A prominent Ukrainian poet, Lina Kostenko, has written these two poems. I've translated these poems for the English-speaking friends of Ukraine some time ago. I thought of these poems again, for the occasion of the Independence Day in Ukraine 🇺🇲💛💙🇺🇦:
***
We've fought and strived--- as our forebears.
Yet freedom's alphabet we learn anew:
unmeasurable loss has no measures,
for ground zero fills the butchered view.
Us warriors, the purposeful, the doers,
the truest fighters for the sacred aim:
one's own sovereignty--- the very truest
of aims, we suffer so to attain.
***
The death, the terror, the despair,
The stench of horded killers-thieves ...
A leering creature, grey and meager,
Caused black and caustic senseless grieves.
This beast, repulsive and distorted,
Of evil breed, of Neva's cold...
Look, Europe's nations, eyes averted:
We are your future,foretold!
Can you please post the title and poem in Ukrainian? I lived there from April through September 2022. I had to return because I was injured during a russian artillery attack on my city, Mykolaiv. I'm healed up now. Lord willing, I can return in Jan 2023. Thank you so much. Слава Україно
Thank you for the translation. I looked up the poet, and it introduced me to a part of Ukrainian history about which I knew nothing, now know a little, and will learn a little more.
Thanks for that
@@longtimedeveloper6498 did you make it back? Were you injured fighting or as a civilian. God bless
@@ricdavid7476 yes, I am back in Mykolaiv!! I had a bad concussion caused by the enemies artillery. I am healed and serving Ukraine again. Lord bless you!
A phenomenal analysis - I never thought about the war in this way!
HOLY COW, they eat during this speech??? What is DECADENCY if not this???
An indispensable discussion of the illegal invasion and genocide Russia is perpetrating in Ukraine. Examining historical and current facts.
What Ukraine is doing is the MOST important foreign issue for the US since WWII. Period. Full. Stop. Americans NEVER could have done this by themselves.
very bad idea of organizing an event, looking at uninterested eating faces while having a discourse on such an important topic is devastating.
The words of Dr. Snyder sent across a room of people in stylish attire *eating* and conducting side conversations is simply too much.
Thank you very much!
The speech is like that what I know from Dr. Snider s books
Brillant all the way!!!
Yes, a brilliant propagandist!
@@alless48 no he is one of the best historian on russia, what of what he said is not factual?
хоч би з поваги до спікера відклали тарілки на двадцять хвилин в сторону, не жерли зі спинами, повернутими до Снайдера, а послухали. один дзвін в ефірі. ні поваги до спікера, ні манер, капець просто, соромно за цю аудиторію
Yup, they could have behaved better. I tried to screen it out because his speech is priceless and I wanted to focus on that. I've been overwhelmed with gratitude for Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion, and it really helps to hear someone articulate it so well - some people in my life just don't get it, so I obviously need to try and express myself more clearly. 💙💛
Civil society is not a monolith. We won't speak of atrocities or genocides committed by people of Catholic faith in the past because current events have taken Catholicism off the hook for the time being and perhaps permanently. Because of what is going on today in Ukraine, I will find common cause with organizations of people I would not touch with a long stick in other circumstances.
Thank you! A good friend recently told me that he holds back from fully supporting Ukraine because... "I really hate NATO" (literally a quote) My heart sank. I've heard similar things from other people, and I'm still struggling to articulate a decent response
🍀 Quand la réalité me fait.vaciller il est impératif que j’entende des mots important./ Merci❣️

Exactly
Listen to and read Marci Shore ("The Ukrainian Night"), too.
Ukraine tries out the cutting edge weapons and the contemporary military strategies on behalf of all our free democratic world. Ukraine must be on the path to NATO. And in the meantime, ten times the air defenses help it is getting, long range weapons and the permission to strike targets in russia, including the decision making centers of genocidal ideology in the cursed kremlin. Thank you for your work. 🇺🇲🇺🇦🔱
Nobody in a sane mind supports attacking Russia, let alone the Kremlin, with long range missiles. Not Zelensky, nor Biden, nor Macron, Stoltenberg, Scholz, Sunak, ... absolutely nobody in the West or in NATO supports what you just asked for! You are just repeating russian fearmongering talking points, not facts. An exaggerated over-supporting of Ukraine at best, a perfidious way of russian propaganda at worst.
I cannot understand why the admirable Dr. Snyder keeps on lecturing while the guests devour their food and gulp their drinks.He even uses the word 'decadence'....
People eat and drink and having their private conversations while Mr. Snyder is doing his presentation. Very irritating. He is used as a background entertainment it seems.
Snyder is the academic that John Mearshimer wishes he was.

What would mean brave if there would not be danger involved?
11:34
11:50 it took many many generations, many many brave people's suffering and their battles facing powerful forces to overcome to achieve democracy and freedom. Even what we call *basic* human rights were never *basic* . It has been a hard win, bloody battle to achieve for humanity. These days entitlement is a given, a cushiony existence where most doesn't understand that freedom and democracy can be lost. Nothing is given, just because you were born into it.
For a reminder, I like to bring up Cyrus the Great
"The Cyrus Cylinder (Ostovane-ye-Kurosh) is an ancient clay cylinder on which is written a declaration in the name of Persia's Achaemenid king Cyrus the Great. The United Nations has declared the relic to be an "ancient declaration of human rights"."

(Although I am not religious, I am spiritual. I believe that every culture, and its religion, has its history and rightful existence. UNTIL it doesn't commit crimes and inflict pain and suffering on others and their own citizens. Live and let live.)
It just occurred to me that vigilantism is based on civil society.
freedom of brainwashing ‘IF LIBERTY MEANS ANYTHING AT ALL, IT MEANS THE RIGHT TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO HEAR’
Great speech by Raytheon... oops, I mean Timothy Snyder.
He kinda added a Judeo-Christian prerogative there at the end....just go right ahead and throw all that academic "objectivity" out the window and straight up declare allegiance to the Pope....
He’s giving a speech to a Catholic lay group, made up presumably, of Catholics.
Thank you Dr. Snyder!
