“The Road to Non-Freedom” is one of the most important books by Timothy Snyder for the Ukrainian reader, because it is about us, about the history of which we are witnesses and participants here and now. This is a book about events, political figures and global ideas that are hidden behind these events.
Timothy Snyder analyzes the complex and dramatic transformations in Russia, Ukraine, Europe and the USA from 2011 to 2016. Among the main events are the Russian protests on Bolotnaya Square in Moscow, the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea and Russia’s invasion of Donbas, the refugee crisis, Brexit and Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election.
Timothy Snyder not only raises the question of why the idea of the “end of history” was wrong. He argues how the inevitability inherent in the "end of history," or, in other words, the idea that "ideas don't matter," may have contributed to the creation of the current political climate.
Timothy Snyder is an American historian, writer, and public intellectual.
