Thank you so much for this essay— you filled in so many of my Russian history gaps. I love the spirit of the Ukrainian people. I don’t think Putin’s aggression ends well for anyone. Your point about the despot not having people who will challenge or accurately inform is enlightening as well. I’m afraid of how this ends though because I don’t think Putin has any tolerance for defeat.
