JP Himka and the Rest of Ukrainian History: Himka and Jones on Polish Serfdom - part 6

In this series of videos on Ukraine, I look into parts of its history that were deemphisized, misrepresented or deleted entirely in Plokhy's book, using videos of John-Paul Himka, professor of Ukrainian history from the Univ of Alberta. Himka's history is definitely mainstream, but, perhaps a product of his US midwestern/Canadian roots, his rather naive innocence regarding what can be mentioned and what can't in today's Holocausted politically-correct America makes him a useful guide through matters involving western Ukraine as the source of much of the country's nationalist and Jewish activism among other things. Given today's Zelensky-Kolomoisky-Azov Battalion-Putin Jewish-neonazi connections and narrative-building battle on both sides, it's an important window into what is really going on in Ukraine (and Washington and Moscow) today.

In part six I cover Ukrainian serfdom under Polish rule (and later Austrian/Russian) from the beginning of the 16th to the mi-19th century and the involvement of the Jews in that, from Himka and then from E. Michael Jones, who puts his special twist on it and extends it to what we see in the 2st century - this was the root of the conflict we have today, to put it simply. Next up will be the nature of the Ukrainian language and other historical matters from Himka.
