one great victory of ukrainian house activists is the appearance at yale university of a permanent teachernd a course on the ukrainian language. earlier students who wanted to learn the language took an online course at columbia university. former the president actively worked with the university, found people, and wrote petitions, found people who would sign that they would take ukrainian courses. another important direction of the organization's work is fundraising. yurii says that it is becoming increasingly difficult to do this. it was easy to work at the beginning of the invasion, and even then everyone did a lot of everything, but now there is even a feeling of fatigue, in fact, among ukrainians, that much more effort is needed to achieve the same result. to collect funds, volunteers organize various events, including parties. for example, on halloween , they will talk about the slavic traditions of this holiday and weave motanka dolls. to collect funds, volunteers try to bring interesting things from ukraine to sell them later. among the popular items are bracelets from azovstal, wh

country, why we are important as people help jordan to discover more about the ukrainian in himself yale universityted studying the ukrainian language, there is no separate course at yale yet, but the university agreed on online education for its students at columbia university. thanks to professor timothy snyder's lectures, jordan is learning ukrainian history i do not understand that for most of its history, ukraine was under the influence of external forces, the commonwealth from the west, muscovy from the east, then the ottomans from the south, all fighting for this land. and it 's almost repeating itself in a way, because we have this outside force that's trying to claim our lands, to threaten our freedom, but we're going to... go down without a fight. in addition to studying history and language, jordan is a volunteer at the ukrainian house at yale. in the ukrainian student community, he is responsible for fundraising. i helped my dad to do it, i did it myself at school. we have our table on campus, talk about the war and collect donations, and in exchange for these donations we give out stic

one, at several american universities, please look at her education, this is a complete set, yale universityns a lot, whatever you say, firstly, yale university is famous, among other things, for the fact that here... one of the most advanced schools of russian studies in the united states, there are many programs that, in their time were sharpened against the soviet union, and especially those that worked in the late eighties and early nineties come from this university, and harvard university, in ukraine alone, there are now more than forty different projects that are being promoted through... usa and significant part of this program was developed precisely by specialists from garvar, there is also one very important aspect, probably, you’d rather help me figure it out, both here and there, this is also a very large social network, not like in the internet sense, it is social networks that are a network of acquaintances, these are the strongest connections, clinton is from there, the whole family, and that is, all the liberals obama, everyone... come from their university, no, of course ,

this is yale university. do you know what they are trying to do in the overall sentiment?thing. forget about october 7th and talk about the retribution that happened because of october 7th. >> lawrence: there is concerted effort to dismiss what is happening is jews not only in this country but what just happened in the war because of the color of their skin that's just not right. you don't get it tell another minority group because of the color of their skin that something did not happen. these are the same people, steve, that are deny denying the holocaust as well. >> steve: i know it. we are here in new york city. in new york city, 100 columbia university professors signed a letter defending the students who supported hamas' military action. it wasn't just -- they weren't supporting the palestinian people per se they were supporting the military action on october 7th, which as we know bee headed babies and women and killed all sorts of people. >> ainsley: at cornell there were comments to go to the jewish center and slit their throats. >> lawrence: for all the liberals w

joining our discussion now is timothy snyder, professor of history at yale university.d to an freedom, russia, europe, america. professor snyder, thank you so much for joining us tonight. kevin mccarthy's history lesson, impromptu history lesson in his press conference was quite long and essentially accurate about hitler's rise to power and his use of aggression that started world war ii. but one of the big differences in this country, fighting against hitler and fighting now in its support of ukraine against vladimir putin, is that during world war to the house of representatives never collapsed. never shut down. never gave up, as it did today. >> there is a fundamental irony in the former speaker's history lesson, which by the way, is generally very well taken. his point was that czechoslovakia was the last democracy in that part of the world. ukraine is the most important democracy in the same part of the world's. we've done a little better this time, but fundamentally, the problem, as you say, is not the ukrainians. unlike the checks and the slovaks, the ukrainians

and on september 27th, simpson wrote this in his diary, which is at yale university, i want to let the japanese that we are watching them and the same time do it in such a way which will help foreign minister shinohara, who was on the right side and play into the hands of any nationalist. so stimson as a dove among those he does not denounce the japanese action publicly condemnation he feels will only jeopardize chances for peace. he opposes china's call for an inquiry by the league of nations. he opposes suggestions from the european powers that an american sit the league council. he refuses to invoke the howard bryant anti war which had outlawed war a means of instrument of national policy. he some belligerence to withdraw from the combat. he expresses a hope that japan and china could negotiate without outside interference and all of this. stimson has president hoover's strong backing. stimson refuses also to invoke what is called the nine power pact of 22. now this is an agreement of the nine major powers in the west plus japan that pledges to respect china's independence and terri

family doctor, and her mother as a primary teacher classes, now she is a doctor of philosophy from yale universityen after school ended up at brown university, a private institution that is part of the elite ivy league. here she was initially going to study philosophy, but switched to economics, after which she continued her studies at another prestigious university, yele, where she received a doctorate in economics, her supervisor was joseph stiglitz, who became a nobel laureate in 2001 along with jeannette’s husband, george akerlov. they say janet found love in the federal reserve, literally. right here she met her husband george, a famous economist, and their son robert is also an economist. so you can imagine that dinner table conversation might be a little different than ours. the dinner tables were indeed different, and kirlov continued to study markets with asymmetric information. jeannette moved up the career ladder in the fed structures, until finally. in 2014, she did not lead the service with the blessing of barack obama, her flight was interrupted by donald trump, did not extend her te
