I'm speaking today with Yevhen Lyr, author of the novels, The God of the Steps (Євген Лір «Степовий бог») and The Flood. On June 6, 2023, the Kakhovka Dam in Russian-occupied Ukraine was destroyed, unleashing catastrophic flooding in Kherson and surrounding regions. It is widely believed to have been a deliberate act of ecocide by Russian forces. The Flood was inspired, provoked event by that act of barbarism and is a is a literary tapestry woven from real testimonies, documentary journalism, and fictional connectors. It centres on the aftermath of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam — an event that devastated parts of southern Ukraine and submerged Kherson in water and grief. The story follows a newcomer to the city, “the Clock smith,” who listens to and collects the stories of soldiers, volunteers, survivors, and locals. ----------LINKS:https://x.com/lyryevhenhttps://store.ukrainer.net/en/product/book-flood/https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/235824462-the-flood----------Yevhen Lyr Discusses 'The Flood': A Novel Inspired by Ukraine's TragedyIn this episode, we speak with Yevhen Lyr, author of 'The Flood,' a novel inspired by the catastrophic flooding following the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in Russian-occupied Ukraine on June 6, 2023. We discuss the real-life testimonies, documentary journalism, and fictional elements that make up his work. Yevhen Lyr shares his personal connection to Southern Ukraine, his experiences as a volunteer and soldier, and the importance of bearing witness through literature. The narrative follows a clocksmith who collects stories from those affected by the disaster. We also touch on the challenges of translating the novel into Ukrainian, the media's response to the dam's destruction, and the vital role of culture in countering Russian propaganda.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Yevhen Lyr and His Novel 'The Flood'00:08 Background of the Kakhovka Dam Destruction01:52 Yevhen Lyr's Personal Connection to Ukraine04:48 The Challenges of Translating 'The Flood'05:52 Bearing Witness to Man-Made Disasters15:37 The Artistic and Cultural Losses21:04 The Symbolism in 'The Flood'39:56 The Role of Ukrainian Writers in Countering Propaganda45:42 Promoting 'The Flood' and Future Plans----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

The conflict in southern Ukraine rages on, with reports from both sides indicating intense combat. Artillery, missile forces, and combat planes are involved, while territorial changes have been minimal thus far.

Every night over the last week, Russia has bombarded cities along Ukraine's southern Black Sea coast. With these attacks, the Russian military has tried to disrupt Ukraine's ability to export grain. And, "Stories from the Stage" are tales told by ordinary people with extraordinary experiences. We begin with Ana Hebra Flaster, who came to the United States from Cuba when she was 6 years old. Flaster is a writer who grew up in New England and her storytelling is inspired by her father. Also, in dozens of towns and cities across Spain, the far-right Vox party has found itself invited into ruling coalitions — and it has already begun dismantling policies meant to preserve nature and protect sexual and gender diversity. It now could strongly influence this weekend's federal elections, should the center-right Popular Party win a majority of votes. Plus, Kyiv's wedding officiant.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on Russia-Ukraine-War-Odesa-Mykolaiv

The Zaporizhzhia region is currently an active frontline in the Urainian counteroffensive against Russia. NPR's Joanna Kakissis tells us that 500 years ago, the area was in the same position.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on Russia Ukraine War.

In this episode, Alex starts by going over how Fox News hosts like Jesse Watters are using the COVID lies playbook to politisize the smoke from wildfires in Canada and downplay the impact of climate change. Once again, Fox News is politisizing an unnecessary issue. Next, Alex discusses how New Hampshire's governor, Chris Sununu, has said he will not run for president in 2024. Sununu changed his mind, admitting that all efforts must be made to stop Trump from becoming president. Also, Chris Christie and Mike Pence are in the race. Alex notes that Mike “Milquetoast” Pence has no hope, and while Christie does not either, he has an agenda and a goal to attack Trump. Later in the podcast, Alex talks about Jack Smith's indictment of Donald Trump over his mishandling and coverup of classified documents. While the coverup seems to be part of the issue, Alex is more concered about the national security fiasco that Trump has created. Finally, Alex looks into who blew up the Kakhovka dam in Southern Ukraine and discusses how the Ukrainian counter-offensive is going. 

In the early hours of Tuesday, June 6th a major Dam on the Dnipro river in Russian occupied Ukraine suffered catastrophic damage. Floodwaters are now rushing downstream and sending tens of thousands of people fleeing. The path of these destructive floodwaters roughly follows the frontlines between Russian and Ukrainian forces in Southern Ukraine and this breach comes just as Ukraine's much anticipated counteroffensive gets underway. This obviously raises the question: did Russia sabotage the Kakhovka dam to thwart a Ukrainian counteroffensive?  I'm joined today by the former US Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst.  He is a retired career foreign service office and now the senior director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center. We kick off discussing the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, including the likelihood that it was deliberately destroyed by Russia. We then have an extended conversation about what the destruction of this dam means for Ukraine's counteroffensive.

On June 6th Russia blew up the dam of the Kakhovka hydropower plant in Southern Ukraine. This act of geopolitical terrorism and ecocide produces a major environmental disaster for decades to come.

We have recorded a Twitter space to discuss this tragedy, based on our conversations with the Ukrainian experts and journalists.

Scott interviews Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor about the war in Ukraine. Scott recently interviewed William Arkin who believes the Russians are actually losing this war. Macgregor has a very different take, and Scott gives him the opportunity to address Arkin's argument. Macgregor shares his view of how the war has unfolded so far and how he expects it to evolve. He believes the Russians will pivot and attempt to occupy Eastern and Southern Ukraine. He thinks a battle for Odessa is looming and that the Russians will succeed in this endeavor. Scott then asks about reports about the Biden Administration's new overt intentions to fund another color revolution in Belarus. Macgregor gives his take on how it may happen and then predicts that the Kremlin will respond with similar attempts in Latin America. Lastly, Scott and Macgregor talk about some of the institutional barriers facing those who want to change the foreign policy status quo in Washington.  Discussed on the show: Scott's Interview with William Arkin Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky Douglas Macgregor, Col. (ret.) is a senior fellow with The American Conservative, the former advisor to the Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, a decorated combat veteran, and the author of five books.
