Why there is no “Next year in Kyiv” show?

“Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for covering stories about russian aggression against people Ukraine. Secondly, I would like to point out that this show is twisting situation to make some of wolf squad look like victims just because they are out of squad for the time being. This is so wrong! I would like to say that your show made me cry, I literally cried several times because people were telling stories of how their parents or grandparents were protesting in soviet times and how knowledge of that made them run instead of resist. From how the story was told those people are victims and compared to victims in Ukraine, but in reality they are in a very different situation. People of Ukraine survived same repression and even more, I’m sure as journalists you know about Holodomor of 1932-1933, as well as about Bikivnya forest, place where people were killed for wearing national clothes. Many people were replaced from Ukraine to areas that are currently belonging to russia. There is no sense in comparing traumatic experiences but I’m sure we can agree that this argument against protesting is poor. People in Ukraine also lost everything during Soviet time, everything but our dignity. At some point show says that people of russia are not resisting because they didn’t have time to morn their past and have damaged generations. I have an argument against, people in Ukraine lived in same reality with even dipper family wounds. But first big revolution took place in modern Ukraine in 1990 (revolution on granite), even before any kind of information about past was licked publicly and ever since every time people of Ukraine felt injustice we were uniting to achieve justice in 2004 (Orange resolution), and in 2014 (revolution of dignity). Our unity is what keeps our country and people of russia never actually even tried to be united. Yes, some of them were forced to live the country but even now they are doing nothing to unite, they are expecting people of Ukraine to do everything for them. If they are feeling so crushed than they need to find powers to resist and be ready to make sacrifices. People of Ukraine are actually were dying during our revolutions, our 3rd president was poisoned, revolution of dignity was totally covered in blood of people fighting for our future. But this show was not designed to show that no matter how bad situation inside russia is the only ones to blame are citizens. They are selfish, greedy and have no motivation to change anything. They know about their corruption but prefer to discuss corruption in other countries. They are afraid to speak out loud and they are expecting someone “powerful” to come and do the dirty work for them. This show covers a story about how police was taking people from crowds one by one and it doesn’t cover that nobody was trying to help getting their protesters back (!) we all saw videos how they take one and the rest just run, but in same situation in Georgia or Ukraine people would never leave one of us struggling and this is why we live in very different countries. So I would like to say that the show is very powerful, but creates twisted sense of reality where not resisting and avoiding responsibility is ok, and it’s not!!! People are little only as long as they want to be little! This show gives good excuse to let other people suffer and avoid personal responsibility!”

“I’m a Russian who lived her whole life in Moscow and left at the beginning of the war. I have a distinct feeling that this podcast is about me. Everything said here is true, and the selection of guests is spot on. For non-Russians this will be informative I believe.
For me though, a year into...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed this podcast. My favorite episode was number 7 with the interview of Maria Eismont. This lady is amazing. Ms. Eismont is a lawyer but her role as a compassionate and humanitarian advocate is what put her apart of other characters I heard in this series. Great job!”
