Thank you for sharing these Yale lectures with your subscribers. It was reassuring to virtually sit in a real college classroom without any tech gadgets or media presentation devices (loved the chalkboard) and listen to a scholarly lecture based on historical facts. It inspired me to research the Maidan revolution and the Holodomor genocide of 1932-33. I was especially struck by your view that Europeans arrived at a “war is bad, peace is good” mindset less because of WWII than of their losing wars of imperialism in the late 20th century. Seems like losing wars may have had a similar effect on Americans. Please keep sharing your scholarship and insights.
Re: SOVIET prisoners-of-war in this lecture: For over a year now I've been thinking about that €10m reparation payment that Germany under Merkel handed over to Putin in 2015.
I also love all your work and am completing 2nd time through the lectures. Martha you can watch them on YouTube which has the words written along at the bottom of the screen. I like also being able to follow all the hand movements!

I prefer written word to podcast -- can I read your episodes?
