Prof. Timothy Snyder Class 10 The Making of Modern Ukraine

Simply amazing stuff. This lecture is sort of self contained. You don't need to have seen the others.

The concept of empire right up to Stalin.

The Kerch Bridge 24 hours later

There is some video out this morning. It looks like the few cars that are crossing have police escorts. You can.see the damage to the RR bridge. 24 hrs and the fuel tanks are still there plus a crane.
I've read some claims that the video of the train crossing last night was fake. The Kerch Bridge has single gage track as opposed to double gage. I have no idea.
I thought by now we would see video of regular car traffic and at least one real train going across in daylight (It's 2:00pm over there now). I've looked for the latest video but this is all.Ive found. IMHO that bridge was righteously fucked.

Don't trust. Verify. You can go past the warning. All it shows are the bridges. Russian twitter trolls must be at work hoping you don't watch.

Today. That does seem to show a double gage I guess.
