Due settimane di Donald Trump alla Casa Bianca e il mondo è già cambiato. Gli ordini esecutivi, la guerra delle tariffe, le dichiarazioni su Gaza, la promessa di mettere fine alla guerra in Ucraina, il cambiamento radicale della dottrina USA delle alleanze (non esistono più paesi amici di fronte agli interessi di Washington): la velocità data da Trump alle sue decisioni ha spiazzato la maggior parte dei governi mondiali. Se a casa, Trump sta installando una sorta di sistema populista dittatoriale a base di massa, all'estero, la sua politica è indirizzata solo ed esclusivamente ad accrescere il ruolo degli USA a discapito di chiunque possa essere un ostacolo al suo disegno. Ne abbiamo parlato con lo storico Andrea Graziosi e con l'Ambasciatore Stefano Stefanini. Nella seconda parte della trasmissione, invece il podcast della Fondazione del Giardino dei Giusti di Milano sui nuovi giusti. In questa puntata la storia di Antonio Maglio, il "papà delle Paralimpiadi". A cura di Michele Migone.

Il riconoscimento di identità diverse rischia di frantumare le nostre società, sostengono molti. D'altra parte riconoscere nuovi diritti e libertà è sacrosanto. Come evitare che questo progresso generi paure e rabbia con le conseguenze politico-elettorali che vediamo in giro per il mondo? Come tenere insieme uguaglianza e differenze?

A cura di Michele Migone. Quale sarà il destino dell'Europa dopo la rielezione di Donald Trump e cosa accadrà all'Ucraina? Il presidente eletto USA ha già minacciato una sorta di guerra commerciale a suon di dazi nei confronti della UE, un conflitto che potrebbe essere molto oneroso per l'economia del Vecchio Continente. Così come ha già annunciato che metterà fine alla guerra in Ucraina. E tutti prevedono a discapito di Kiev. Ne abbiamo parlato con Eric Josef, corrispondente in Italia del quotidiano Liberation, con Tonia Mastrobuoni, corrispondente da Berlino de La Repubblica, con lo storico Andrea Graziosi, con Alessandro Marrone, esperto Nato dell'Istituto Affari Internazionali e con Lorenzo Cremonesi, inviato speciale del Corriere della Sera.

Protagonista di questo Laser è Volodymyr Sahaidak, direttore del Centro di riabilitazione sociale e psicologica di Kherson, in Ucraina. La struttura da anni accoglie bambini orfani, minori i cui genitori sono in carcere o comunque impossibilitati a garantirne il sostentamento. Kherson è rimasta sotto occupazione russa da febbraio a novembre del 2022: è stata una delle città più martoriate dalla guerra. Ai nostri microfoni, Sahaidak racconta come ha fatto a salvare dalla deportazione 52 bambini, e quali sono le prove che è riuscito a raccogliere. L'uomo oggi è sotto protezione, tutelato perché testimone del processo intentato dalla Corte penale internazionale contro il presidente russo, Vladimir Putin, e la responsabile delle politiche per l'infanzia, Maria Lvova Belova.

La morte, l'uccisione di Alexsei Navalny, la condanna di Oleg Orlov, Premio Nobel per la Pace con l'associazione Memorial, le minacce sull'utilizzo delle armi atomiche, i toni sempre più duri contro i Baltici. Perché Vladimir Putin ha fatto tutte queste mosse nelle ultime settimane, alla vigilia delle "elezioni" presidenziali? Segno di forza o di debolezza? Cosa sta progettando? Ne abbiamo parlato con la giornalista Anna Zafesova, Andrea Gullotta di Memorial Internazionale, Andrea Graziosi, storico e con Giulia De Florio, docente universitaria.

Se vince Donald Trump gli Usa non aiuteranno più l'Ucraina con l'invio delle armi. E'per questo che Vladimir Putin tifa per la sua vittoria contro il "comune nemico" Joe Biden. I destini della guerra in Ucraina si giocheranno soprattutto nelle urne americane, il prossimo anno, con le elezioni presidenziali. Difficile che prima l'equilibrio militare possa essere modificato sul terreno. Di questo abbiamo parlato con Andrea Graziosi, uno dei più più importanti storici italiani, esperto di storia della Russia e dell'Ucraina e con Giovanni Savino, docente universitario.

Uno degli effetti della guerra in Ucraina è di aver reso concreto un concetto abitualmente lontano come quello di Occidente. È dal 2014, dalla prima rivolta filoeuropeista, che il popolo ucraino combatte per cercare di avvicinarsi all'Europa e all'Occidente, e ora che con l'invasione della Russia la guerra è diventata una questione di vita o di morte, il concetto di Occidente non appare più così lontano e distante. Eppure l'Occidente è in crisi da tempo: la crisi demografica, la crisi politica e l'invecchiamento della popolazione stanno mettendo sempre più in difficoltà il suo modello. Per questo, possiamo dire che l'Occidente è davanti a un bivio: la guerra in Ucraina ha dimostrato la sua importanza, ma al tempo stesso non ha frenato le sue difficoltà e i suoi problemi.A Globo ne parliamo con Andrea Graziosi, che è professore di Storia Contemporanea all'Università Federico II di Napoli ed è uno dei massimi esperti europei dello spazio ex sovietico.

Un anno fa l'invasione dell'Ucraina da parte della truppe di Mosca. Un anno dopo, la guerra voluta da Vladimir Putin ha provocato decine di migliaia di vittime tra soldati civili, città distrutte, territori occupati dai russi dove si registrano quotidiani arresti, torture e deportazioni. Il presidente russo pensava di chiudere la partita in 72 ore e invece, 12 mesi dopo, gli ucraini resistono, hanno riconquistato parti del loro territorio e puntano a una controffensiva che possa portare alla liberazione di altre porzioni del paese. Dietro l'avventura ucraina di Putin c'è una sua visione ideologica che va dall'imperialismo zarista allo stalinismo, dall'euroasiatismo all'avversione all'Occidente e alla democrazia liberale. Di questo abbiamo parlato con Andrea Graziosi, storico, autore del libro L'Ucraina e Putin tra storia e ideologia, edito da Laterza e con Paolo Valentino del Corriere della Sera.

Since the 1980s the study of genocide has exploded, both historically and geographically, to encompass earlier epochs, other continents, and new cases. The concept of genocide has proved its worth, but that expansion has also compounded the tensions between a rigid legal concept and the manifold realities researchers have discovered. The legal and political benefits that accompany genocide status have also reduced complex discussions of historical events to a simplistic binary - is it genocide or not? - a situation often influenced by powerful political pressures. Genocide addresses these tensions and tests the limits of the concept in cases ranging from the role of sexual violence during the Holocaust to state-induced mass starvation in Kazakh and Ukrainian history, while considering what the Armenian, Rwandan, and Burundi experiences reveal about the uses and pitfalls of reading history and conducting politics through the lens of genocide. Contributors examine the pressures that great powers have exerted in shaping the concept; the reaction Raphaël Lemkin, originator of the word “genocide,” had to the United Nations' final resolution on the subject; France's long-held choice not to use the concept of genocide in its courtrooms; the role of transformative social projects and use of genocide memory in politics; and the relation of genocide to mass violence targeting specific groups.

La guerra in Ucraina è arrivata a un punto cruciale. La controffensiva delle truppe di Kiev ha permesso la riconquista di significative porzioni dei territori occupati dai russi. Vladimir Putin ha minacciato l'uso dell'arma atomica; un modo per fare pressione sui governi occidentali per indurli a togliere il loro appoggio a Kiev. Mosca è in difficoltà e la chiave del futuro del conflitto potrebbe essere la riconquista della città di Kherson.

Due società post sovietiche, simili, ma non uguali: una che guarda verso l'Occidente e l'altra invece che rimane sul suo solco tradizionale. L'Ucraina di Zelensky e la Russia di Putin. Una società che si apre con difficoltà alle libertà civili e politiche e l'altra invece che rimane chiusa con un regime che la soffoca con la sua repressione. Il percorso di Zelensky da comico a leader internazionale e quello di Putin da leader internazionale a pericolo per la pace e la sicurezza Europea. Ne abbiamo parlato in questa puntata di Va pensiero con Andrea Graziosi che insegna Storia contemporanea all'Università di Napoli «Federico II» ed è il Presidente della Società Italiana per lo Studio della Storia Contemporanea. Graziosi ha insegnato storia sovietica negli Stati Uniti e in Francia. Di recente pubblicato L'Urss di Lenin e Stalin, 1914- 1945 e L'Urss dal trionfo al degrado, 1945-1991, il Mulino, Bologna 2007 e 2008.

Language is one of the complex systems facilitating communication; language is a system producing the inside and the outside of the individual's awareness of self and other. However, language is also a tool for and of ideological battles, shaping states and nations. A multifaceted nature of language is emphasized and explored in an interdisciplinary collection of articles The Battle for Ukrainian: A Comparative Perspective (Harvard University Press/Ukrainian Research Institute, 2017), edited by Michael S. Flier and Andrea Graziosi. This collection developed with the crucial contribution of Lubomyr Hajda, who highlighted the importance of the comparative aspect that goes beyond specific historical contexts. As the editors mention in their introduction, The Battle for Ukrainian presents the proceedings of the conference States, Peoples, Languages: A Comparative Political History of Ukrainian, 1863-2013. One of the starting points for the scholarly discussion was the history of the Ukrainian language, which happened to undergo a dramatic battle for its existence. Structured around the Valuev Circular (1863), which was followed by the Ems Decree (1876), the conference and the subsequent collection aimed to conceptualize the influences that the official documents would exercise on the formation and on the development of Ukrainian. Known for their oppressive and discriminatory effects, the two documents, as the current publication demonstrates, not only shaped the perception of Ukrainian but also produced a political and sociocultural framework for the languages functioning. The Battle for Ukrainian offers an insightful overview of the path that Ukrainian was, in fact, forced into: a persistent struggle against suppression and annihilation. Taking into consideration the influences exercised by the documents that restricted the usage of Ukrainian, the contributors investigate how Ukrainian was presented in the Russian Empire and under the Soviet Union. This conversation is put into a larger context, involving the issues of nation and identity formation. Additionally, the discussion creates a bridge between the past and the present: twenty-five years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine seems to be still facing challenges that were first initiated by the language policies devised by Imperial Russia. Moreover, these challenges, as the recent events in the Donbas and Crimea, as well as new developments of language policies, demonstrate, are escalating. By analyzing the circumstances under which the Ukrainian language has been functioning, the contributors attempt to address the most urgent concerns, providing insights for the understanding of the past and the present. While emphasizing the language challenges, which Ukraine has been dealing with, The Battle for Ukrainian also draws comparative parallels that allow to search for frameworks and patterns that would emphasize the celebration of the existence of language. A language is a system that facilitates communication, but it is also an entity, fluid and changeable, that includes collaboration with other similar systems, entities.
