I wasn’t aware history professors liked making up history.
Kyiv is the capital of the Kievan Rus. One could say they are second capital of Russia (after Novgorod). Russians come from the word Rus — possibly meaning ‘the men who row’. Both were descendants of a cultural union between Vikings and Slavs.
The words Ukraine / Ukrainian didn’t come until much later.
I’m not fan of Putin’s BS claims. But Yuval Harari you are being a disgrace to your own profession — twisting history for the benefit of propaganda.

Another comment wanted a summary, because their English is not great. Here you go.
*The War in Ukraine Could Change Everything – Summary*
Harari is so eloquent in his choice of words that I am compelled to include a large number of quotes. My apologies if this makes the translation or interpretation harder.
*History before the Russian Empire*
Ukraine has a long history of independence before they were a part of Russia.
“Kiev was a bustling metropolis when Moscow was a small village.”
*Putin’s fantasy*
Putin has this fantasy that Ukraine isn’t a real nation, and that its people want to be a part of Russia. Putin thought Zelenskiy would flee, and that his troops would be met with flowers and praise.
This fantasy was shattered in the past few days.
*On Ukrainian resistance*
Ukraine has a recent tradition of opposing authoritarianism and protecting democracy, look to 2004 and 2013.
Harari tells a story about old Ukrainian women, who could not throw stones and march in the protests, bringing out sandwiches.
*What is the threat?*
Russians don’t want war. These decisions come from the top. The ideological goals of Putin are separate from the goals of the people. There are parallels to the Tsar and the Russian Empire.
*Russia has already lost*
[Referencing a recent Guardian article by Harari.]
Russia might still conquer Ukraine, but it can’t hold it.
Everyone knew Russia was strong, but Ukraine was much more resilient than anyone could’ve imagined.
*How can it end?*
“I don’t know.”
The modern progress of peace was proven by smaller and smaller military budgets.
The repercussions of this war are economical, as these budgets will now increase. The effects will be felt by reduced spending on other social programs, such as healthcare and climate.
There is a possibility for a new arms race, with the emergence of new technologies like Artificial Intelligence, which should be internationally regulated to prevent the worst case scenario. There can be no international regulation in a new cold war.
*The Culture War*
“If [Putin’s] aim was to divide NATO and Europe, then he achieved the opposite… This war could be the opportunity to make peace in the Culture War.”
The conflict in the West in recent memory has been a political conflict between the Left and the Right. The Left focuses on liberalism, and the Right focuses on nationalism. These do not have to oppose one another, and they come together under the umbrella of freedom.
“If the US and Europe stop the Culture War, then we have nothing to fear, not from Putin, or from anyone else for that matter.”
*The Decline of War*
Since 1945, not a single internationally recognized country has been wiped off the map.
This progress does not encourage complacency. We have a responsibility to protect peace. The fact that we know we can live in peace together should inspire us to protect and encourage peace.
*Return of Nuclear Weapons*
“I am of the opinion that if we did not have nuclear weapons then we would already have seen the third world war,…, sometime in the fifties or sixties.”
Until today, nuclear weapons served a good function. But there is always danger.
“We have built a house for humanity.”
Based on cooperation, because we understand that this is the only way to survive. But we have stopped repairing this house. We need to repair institutions.
*Seeds of Fear and Hatred*
Every day this continues, more seeds of fear and hatred are planted. What is happening today could be argued comes from old seeds, planted decades or centuries ago. For example, there are the Russian fears of invasion based on the memories of WW2.
Macron spoke for hours with Putin, and most of the time Putin was lecturing him about history.
“Sometimes I feel ashamed, as a historian, that this is how my field influences the world… People should be liberated from the past.”
Germans are not Nazis. They don’t have to keep proving it again and again. They don’t have to be afraid of raising their voices or taking up guns.
“If there is one country in the world that I, as a Jew, as an Israeli, as a historian, trusts not to repeat the horrors of Nazism, then that’s Germany.”
*New Technology*
In the Spanish Civil War, you had to travel to Spain to help. Now, people are helping in a meaningful way from their homes on the other side of the world. Not just money or tweets, but helping the fight. For example, 175 000 people signed up to be hackers for Ukraine [cited by Bruno Giussiani.]
*China*
There is some conflict for China with its relationship with Russia and its insistence on defending territorial sovereignty. Furthermore, they rely on having a stable global market.
They have a lot to lose if the war continues, and a lot to gain from it stopping.
*Was this a failure of democracy?*
Yes and no.
Yes, diplomacy obviously failed.
But it does not seem like there was any diplomacy that could’ve stopped Putin.
If there were, then why now? Ukraine was not going to join Nato. There was no immediate threat. If what Putin said was true, then why now? Why the rush?
*What’s unique about this war? (except nukes)*
A dominant power is wiping out a country.
When the US invaded Iraq, there were no plans to annex the country. In Ukraine, this is what’s happening.
“The real aim is to annex Ukraine.”
Harari mentions what the Kenyan ambassador to the UN talked about regarding African borders in the post-imperialist world: “No matter what your objections are to the borders, keep them. The borders are sacred.”
If we start waging wars in order to change our borders, then it won’t stop.
Also, this is a war between two major powers.
*A Green Manhattan Project*
“This is the hope.”
To undercut the reliance on oil and gas, and thus undermine Putin’s regime, which is largely funded by oil and gas.
Oil often supports dictators, because you do not have to educate and empower your citizens to get it, “you just drill.”
*On Zelenskiy*
“His conduct has indeed been admirable… I think he made a huge personal contribution.”
*Do sanctions work?*
Putin’s Russia is not the Soviet Union.
It is smaller and weaker. It is easier to isolate using sanctions.
Also, the Russian people are different. Even the people “in the immediate circle around Putin, I mean, I don’t know them personally, but they seem to like life.”
“I think sanctions can be really effective. On what timetable? I think that’s ultimately in the hands of Putin.”
*Could the situation get worse?*
A question from the audience comes in, comparing the situation to the Balkans flaring up underlying tensions.
Harari tells us to look at Syria.
“Kiev could become another Homs or Aleppo.”
The seeds of hatred are spreading. In Israel, the people who come from the former USSR were all called Russians. No one cared about the distinction. Now they do.

Your speech is fake. You guys never talk about wars made by “Civilized” Western countries. Shame on you!
Check official Wikipedia page: Ukraine. The first official political mention of this word was in 10 of June 1917. Befor that it was called Kievan Rus’, Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia, Cossack Hetmanate. Check the maps before 1917 and try to find this word there. I think you’d rather rewrite the history and lie than tell the truth. Fool the people – That is your job

If the west wanna understand putin’s decisions and behaviors and avoid a full-scale nuclear war, they need to view things from the angle of russian national security, it’s putin’s top priority. But the west has turned a blind eye on this for so long since the eastward expansion of NATO. If Ukraine is allowed to join NATO, what’s the difference between this war with the Cuba missile crisis?

Tell me this Yuval, you’re here taking about planting seeds of hatred when there are two other countries that planted many of these seeds while invading the middle east for decades. Can you guess which two countries I am referring to and how is the Russian invasion any different? I’m wondering and I am in no way saying what Russia is doing is right but is the Russian invasion, being that it is the front page news in the media these days, a means to deflect the hatred towards Russia and not those other two countries?

The reasons Putin started this war: 1) NATO has been aggressively pushing its boundary towards east europe, increasing its territory for five times, after Soviet collapsed, and including planning to include Ulkraine, which is located just beside Russia. 2) Ulkraine military (and gov) have been killling its own Russian speaking people staying in the east Ulkraine (Ulkraine citizens that pro-Russia). This is blatant massacre.
I think the reasons are valid. Yet, the western media chose to ignore these facts, and encourage the war.

Regarding renewable energy and storage which has been growing exponentially faster than what was predicted, may I suggest you look at Tony seba and his associates in future x.
I suspect this may be true and if so great times lay ahead.
The problem today is that the underlying cause of inflation is the cost of energy and large corporations in conglomerates have recognized this and control it to secure obscene profits.
Imagine every house having solar energy storage and we have a virtual power plant
This would avoid single points of failure shutting down the grid, with millions of houses with their own energy and storage combined with electric vehicles everything becomes more secure.
Add to that the fact that the money people would save spending on energy electricity, fuel etc, would stay in people’s pockets increasing velocity of money in the economic system and increase security.
Yes those who have had a chokehold on energy to set any price to desire will have to suffice with the wealth they have now and I believe there’s no way they can stop this they can slow it down but they can’t stop it, this pretends a more glorious future
NB there are those who have pretended that the materials to make modern batteries will eventually run out, a research paper by MIT has now shown that recycled batteries materials are normally as good as but maybe better than new material, the upshot of this is everything becomes recyclable solar energy and other renewables power it

I think he’s oversimplifying things to the point they make no sense, by putting all the blame on “one man” Putin.
This conflict is a result of complex geopolitical processes that went for years, and of the shifting balance of military/economic power. In this sense, there was virtually no change that some armed conflict would not erupt at some point, since historically the rebalancing of international power alignments often includes military confrontation.
Both Putin and the west made a bet on the willingness of Ukrainian people to embrace one or another, and their decision are driven by cost benefit analysis given the chances they deem reasonable.
For the West, there is a benefit of getting Russia weakened by a lengthy and costly conflict, and for Russia there is a benefit of reestablishing itself as a global player.

America should invest in energy self reliance in more nuclear power plants and cargo ships plus reducing human impact on climate change. Leaving Vladimir Putin even more destitute if it where not for his state of mind and nuclear weapons we could supply more than wire guided missiles and small arms like MD 500 helicopters arm them with miniguns, rocket pods and wire guided missiles but even with the unthinkable it could make things worse. If they had a third world war without nuclear weapons America would win due to a stronger economy than Russia even though they had more planes, tanks, submarines and troops. The trouble would be anarchy in Eurasian land mass from the Polish border to China. Vladimir Putin seemed to doing what the Soviet red army in 1920 over running the Ukraine. Naturally the Ukraine remembers mass famine of the late 1920s and early 1930s due to bad economic policy.

*The **_little_** Zelensky is expending Ukrainian lives in order to conquer the nation from within for the chosen few.* In an ironical twist Ukrainians that wish to save their land are fighting the very party that will preserve the nation for them and their heirs. A NATO protected EU state exists from which Ukrainian people will be replaced and vanish within a generation.
The _little_ Zelensky is carrying out his role in a master plan devised years ago to deplete this region off its Ukrainian population while they are under an illusion that this effort is directed at securing their land for themselves.
More than five million Ukrainians will flee their homes. By inviting foreigners to join the fray Zelensky is creating a situation similar to that with foreign fighters in Syria so that the battle will rage on until it destroys the nation. These foreigners and their families form a significant portion of residents.
Ukrainians have taken the bait. Sovereignty evokes the intended _emotional_ reaction that blinds them to the end result. Nothing exceeds the artifice and cunning employed by this globalist scourge. The democratic process is divided into parts, each of which by itself appears harmless or even beneficial, but the end result is more devastating than that of tyranny. The expected follows:
A false sense of prosperity is created by holding the _supply of housing constant_ combined with _massive immigration_ stipulated by lenders in order to service massive debt. Within a decade one-quarter of the population of Ukraine will be foreign born. In forty years time the number that are Ukrainian will recede to virtually nothing.
Pressure on housing causes prices to skyrocket beyond reach to the million dollar level. _For some it sounds too good to be true._ They have a home to sell and cash in on their capital gain. In the final analysis, they, too, succumb to this snare. The remainder will own nothing, struggle to pay rent, patronize food banks, seek escape with drugs, and, left homeless, die on the street. Ukrainians that see there is no prospect of their children ever becoming established do not raise families. (The result in Canada: A quarter of a million homeless with 1000 deaths each month. Truckers that challenged their fate were harshly suppressed, jailed and funds raised and bank accounts seized.)
The country as a whole is turned into one huge revenue generating entity that exacts the lifetime earnings of residents through rent and shunts it to the chosen few. The latter become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. The remainder are serfs that serve their masters. So long as there is a rent paying population that is continuously replenished and expanded by immigration is all that matters.
The inherent contradiction: _Ukrainians that do not tolerate their fraternal Russian brothers wish foreigners to replace themselves in their land while they vanish into oblivion?_ That is what the future holds for a NATO protected EU Ukraine. Its salvation comes from joining up with _mother_ Russia of which that region is an integral, ancestral, part.
For whom does the bell toll? _Their effort was in vain._
For his role in facilitating this cunning ploy the intelligence agency will award the _little_ Zelensky the highest civilian honour for his service to their state.

And his history on Kiev is skewed. The town of Moscow collected tribute from the other cities to the Mongol hords and became the richest city in Kiev. Where he got his information is obvious CNN. Putin doesn’t want to destroy Ukraine, he will capture it.

Russia will win Ukraine unfortunately any other outcome is a fantasy. All this cheerleading is just to maximize depopulation.

This historian lost me when he said that he feels that
people suffer from to much history???
“…In Israel we suffer from too much history.
WTF????
He went on to say, “I think that people
should be liberated from the past. Not constantly
repeating it again and again.”
No, the problem wasn’t that Putin lectured Macron for hours on
history. The problem was that Putin lectured French President Macron
on his [Putin’s] interpretation of history. And with undoubtedly very little
correction by Macron about the TRUTH in history.
If the Soviet system that Putin laments was so
much better, then why was he doing so much better as a
President of Russia [flawed President as he is], than even Stalin
who ruled over many more people????

Harari is for me a big bluff. Some of his arguments are completely light and vacuous, but for sure he must get some profit for them.

Thank you for the interview. Unfortunately I saw it once it ended so I could not ask the questions that has been floating: How does he believe the war has to be stopped? What are the measures to take?
