День Незалежності /Ядерна зброя /Що готувала Москва /Кравчук та Чорновіл | МАРАЄВ @IstoriyaBezMifiv

"Ukrainian Truth" recorded an interview with historian and co-author of the YouTube channel "History Without Myths" @IstoriyaBezMifiv Vladlen Marayev on the eve of the 35th anniversary of Independence Day. We talked about what chances Ukraine had for its own state in the 20th century, why the West tried to preserve the Soviet Union to the last, whether the war with Russia could have started back in 1991, and what mistakes Ukrainian elites made during 35 years of independence turned out to be the most painful. __________________________________________________________ ➡️ Subscribe to the "Ukrainian Truth" channel to not miss exclusive news, investigations, and interviews.    / @УкраїнськаПравда   ➡️ Become a sponsor of the "Ukrainian Truth" channel.
