Nikolai Epple: "In this hierarchy, power Is more important than values" // "Tell Gordeeva"

The book "The Uncomfortable Past" by scholar Nikolai Epple has become a wartime bestseller. In February 2022, people turned to Epple's book to find answers to the darkest questions: How could this happen to us? Where is the point of no return? Can we change anything? And, looking ahead — can we do anything to ensure "never again" really means never again? The interview with Nikolai Epple is a complex conversation that demands certain efforts from the viewer or listener. But this conversation is very important. Both in the context of today, in understanding the past, and in preparing for the future. #скажигордеевой #неудобноепрошлое Contents: 0:00 Epple's book became a bestseller after Feb. 24.
