Admin: This interview with Timothy Snyder was done 4 years ago, with thoughtful comments about Ukrainian language.
American historian specializing in Eastern Europe argues that Ukraine should embrace and regulate Russian language and actually use it as a weapon against the Russian propaganda.
Timothy Snyder, who is the author of “The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America” and professor of history at Yale University spoke to Hromadske about his ambitious idea of founding a Russian Language Institute in Ukraine whose task would be to standardize the Russian language spoken in Ukraine and create rules that distinguish the language from the one spoken in Russia and elsewhere.
