Dr. Malko joined the program for several segments. 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 1920's and 1930's 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.
