Ukraine - History in the Making is a series of conversations with me and various guests aiming to improve our understanding of the war in Ukraine and with the ambition of improving our ability to understand and fight the global struggle for freedom.
My name is Emil Juhler-Nøttrup, I am 27 years old and I come from Copenhagen, Denmark. I have always been politically active and currently I’m doing a Master’s degree in Political Science. Besides that I went to Ukraine in February 2024.
My personal motivation for doing this stems from a sense of responsibility and indignation that I have felt ever since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The responsibility and indignation arose because what took place crystallised for me what happens when free democratic countries meet autocratic threats with apathy, conveniency and appeasement. The free democratic world failed Ukraine by giving them NOTHING substantial to defend themselves with prior to the full-scale invasion because we thought the President and the people would surrender without a fight. Why were we so blatantly wrong?
I think it comes down to two factors. One is our own inability to defend and understand freedom, and the other is our lack of knowledge about the countries that have suffered under Soviet and Russian influence in the past, and I think the two are intrinsically linked. Therefore, I also think that by understanding Ukraine better, we can improve our overall ability to defend and understand freedom.
The conversations take place in Danish and English, as I also speak with Danes. I do my best to talk to as many Ukrainians as possible, because their stories are the most important and greatly inspire me, but many of the conversations are also with Danish and foreign politicians or experts whose voices are important in the debate.
Enjoy and get smarter.
Slava Ukraini!

In the third episode of Ukraine - History in the making Emil presents the story of the Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus and the subsequent Mongolian rule over Ukrainian lands. Emil is joined by Yevheniia who talks about the general perception and perhaps lack of knowledge among Ukrainians concerning this period. If there is one thing that stands out it is definitely the degree of cruelty and destruction that the Mongol Empire brought upon the citizens of Kyivan Rus. In the next episode we talk about the connection between Ukraine and The Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
