Just joining History with Dad or need a refresher? This TL;DR Dad episode zooms through the first 10 episodes — from Viking raiders and Kyivan Rus, through tsars, revolutions, Stalin, and World War II, all the way to Chernobyl, glasnost, and Ukraine's 1991 independence.

It’s a fast, funny, and punchy recap that highlights how Ukraine went from medieval powerhouse to Soviet republic to finally breaking free from Moscow’s grip. Spoiler: there are puns, purges, paperwork, and one very poorly timed nuclear meltdown.
