description:

In the context of research on modern history, analysis of the totalitarian state, justification of how the Holocaust of the Jews occurred, the greatest crime of the 20th century, the outstanding historian, Timothy Snyder, defines his message as well as a warning: a crime of the scale of the Holocaust may repeat itself today! Fascism, totalitarianism, hatred and contempt for others are serious warning signs. Black soil - the fertile Ukrainian chernozem, which, as years ago, was supposed to expand the Nazi living space (Lebensraum), ensuring the nation's physical existence and prosperity, since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this dream about domination are also the ideas fixe of the leaders of the Russian Federation. Contemporary Russian fascism has become identical with Hitler's totalitarianism before our eyes. Can looking into the past teach us anything? Can it be a real warning? Is the natural, biological imperative of man to fight, destroy and kill?
