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 watched but would love to rei nforce with reading somewhere way back I had ran into a woman who was offering typed version but my laptop died and staring on scratch to find written version if subtitled on u tube good as I have 2 to 3 deaf friends who coukd at least watch that..

I knew she was East German and speaks Russian, but didn't know that she spoke to Putin that often. Interesting.

I love your work and am a subscriber.
I prefer written word to podcast -- can I read your episodes?

The lectures on YouTube do have complete written ‘subtitles’ , Ev. It is word for word.
Thank you so much!
