Timothy Snyder is just fantastic: https://snyder.substack.com/ His class on Ukraine on Youtube is fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJczLlwp-d8 If I had a history class taught like this in college I might have looked at it. I think in one of his classes about Ukraine he mentioned that he was a programmer at some point. His explanations of history are often very input/output oriented or explained almost like…
