Thank you Lin for making this Jessica Yellin interview with Timothy Snyder available. It was extremely interesting, informative, and I what to think of as hopeful. It would be great if many people get to watch it.
However, I would not have found it if I had not scrolled down below one of the articles in today’s Orcasonian to the “Related Posts” that are shown horizontally, and saw the blank picture with a title that included Timothy Snyder’s name.

Great interview!
