Чому Україна й Польща знову сваряться через історію? | Олександр Зінченко

In the new issue of “With Ourselves in Essence,” we talk to Oleksandr Zinchenko — historian, publicist, journalist, TV presenter, and screenwriter. Why did Oleksandr choose the profession of historian and how did his childhood spent in Kharkiv and two cities in Afghanistan influence this decision? What was school education like in Soviet times and when did Zinchenko first think about his national identity? Let’s talk about the conflict with Poland: why shouldn’t we expect moderate policies from President Karol Nawrotsky? Why are Poles competing for the status of the greatest victim of World War II? What stands in the way of understanding between Kyiv and Warsaw? Why, for the average Pole, World War II is reduced only to events on the territory of Poland? Finally, let’s talk about Oleksandr Zinchenko’s new book “Two Million Dawns. Trypillya Secret”, the openness of Ukrainian archives, nostalgia for the USSR, and how did it happen that during Zelensky’s time Bandera became more popular than Zelensky himself?   Guest: Oleksandr Zinchenko — historian, publicist, journalist, TV presenter, and screenwriter  0:00 - Start of the program 1:31 - Why did Oleksandr Zinchenko decide to become a historian? 4:23 - About school education in Soviet times 9:19 - About the awareness of Ukrainian identity 17:30 - About access to the archives of Soviet special services 22:23 - About nostalgia for the USSR and the growing popularity of Bandera 31:52 - About Karol Navrotsky and the victim complex that Poles made part of their national identity 50:01 - About the new book “Two Million Dawns.
