This longform piece by Tamar Jacoby is something special. Tamar has been living in Ukraine during the war and she has done deep reporting trying to understand the nationalism that is growing there.
It’s a story about colonialism and oppression, democracy and illiberalism. It’s going to educate you. But it’s also going to challenge you. Because nationalism has an absolute value sign around it.

I learned some Ukrainian history from this piece by the Kyiv Independent, sounds like it harmonizes with the Bulwark article:

Yes !
Timothy Snyder is great on this.
Must Watch
The online course, "Timothy Snyder: The Making of Modern Ukraine." is a 23 part lecture, that is a must for anyone wanting to go in-depth on the history of Ukraine, and the reason Russia invaded.
