Glenn Dynner, Professor of Judaic Studies and Director of the Bennett Center at Fairfield University, guest lectures in Timothy Snyder's Yale course on the history of Ukraine. Dynner traces the presence and communal life of Jewish populations in the territories that became modern Ukraine, addressing how Jewish settlement, religious practice, and self-understanding developed under Polish, Russian, and later Soviet rule. The lecture sits within Snyder's broader course on how a Ukrainian nation emerged from empire, war, and terror, and it treats Jewish history as inseparable from that larger story rather than as a side note. Delivered as part of a Yale lecture series with closed captions in Ukrainian and Russian, the class fits into a syllabus that also covers Polish and Russian perspectives on the region. It runs fifty one minutes and assumes some familiarity with the course's earlier sessions on Ukrainian statehood and identity.
