As mentioned, there is difficult history in Eastern Europe. For complicated reasons, there have been tensions between Poles and Ukrainians and Ukrainians and Jews.
It is a difficult fact of history that there were devastating pogroms in Ukraine. Tens of thousands of Jews were murdered under horrific circumstances. Why? Again, long complicated history. "Read a book!" as my mother used to shout at me, usually while throwing a book -- a pertinent book -- at my head.
This is history. It is history we wish had never happened. But it did happen and we can't erase it.

ReplyDeleteUkrainian guards work slowly (perhaps they should). Polish guards are much more helpful.

ReplyDeleteUS Russian studies have many ethical issues to explain:
ReplyDeletecontacts with Russian government and FSB,
spreading Russian propaganda, selfcensoring.
US sovietology has never been accounted for.
Now the Russia 'experts' have to break the sanctions
to earn their living.
Contemporary Russia is exactly like Nazi Germany, indoctrinated and censored.
