Today I welcome historian John Vsetecka to discuss Ukrainian history and the war going on in Ukraine today.
John Vsetecka is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at Michigan State University where he is writing a dissertation on the 1932-1933 famine (Holodomor) and the 1946-1947 famine in Soviet Ukraine. He is the founder and one of the current editors of H-Ukraine--part of the larger H-Net online platform--that is dedicated to promoting and sharing academic and scholarly content related to the study of Ukraine. During the 2021-2022 academic year, John was on a Fulbright scholarship to Kyiv, Ukraine but was evacuated out of the country in late January due to the threat of war. John is currently in Warsaw, Poland finishing his grant and working with refugees who are crossing into Poland from Ukraine.
