As Dr. Malko unwinds the deep history of Ukraine and Russia, she points to the denial of the Holodomor as genocide as a root cause for the current Russian escalation of violence. Dr. Malko also discusses the present and the future of Ukraine, telling Ray the sights and sounds of World War III are the reality to her fellow Ukrainians, painting powerful imagery with talks of the burned hills of Kyiv. This is a must listen to Part II that discusses total war, the negotiations for peace, and the role of the international community.

Convention on Genocide; the need for a special international tribunal to prosecute Russian war criminals; and the Holodomor-genocide, its cover-up and denial as the root of continued violence against the independently minded Ukrainians. “A Ukrainian professor's take on the war in her country” by Hana Baba, March 14, 2022, KALW Public Media / 91.7 FM Bay Area, https://www.kalw.org/kalw-news/2022-03-14/a-ukraininan-professors-take-on-the-war-in-her-country March 5, 2022: Dr. Victoria Malko, Ukraine Born and Raised and Fresno State Professor (cont.)

In this segment she shares with us who Ukrainians are and the fundamental cultural foundation of Ukraine – things that go unmentioned as we watch the war unfold. Also, Dr. Malko looks back to the 1920s and 1930s and their constant struggle for history, language and culture, the Marxist-Leninist roots that came from the former Soviet Union, genocide and how that struggle is playing out today. Put another way, how Putin is trying to finish the work.
