What we’re seeing in Ukraine isn’t just a war of territory—it’s a war of narrative, and that’s not new. I watched the same lies in the ’60s here: democracy undermined not because it failed, but because it threatened power. The pattern? Call resistance extremism. Frame occupation as stability. Make the victim sound hysterical. My students think dictatorship is a chapter in a book. I tell them to watch how fast the old script gets reprinted—with new uniforms, same lies.
