David August"And now one of them has vanished. Now people without the intelligence to distinguish Radio Liberty from a radio receiver have accepted an equation from the hands of executioners and tyrants. This equation is much stronger than an electric current: 2+2=5." - Stanislav Aseyev <a href="https://snyder.substack.com/p/225" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://snyder.substack.com/p/225</a> 🧵 3/3 end <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USpol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#media</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#journalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RadioLiberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RadioLiberty</a>

David August"By that time I’d managed to write fifty-some articles for Radio Liberty, which exposed the totalitarian world of torture in the occupied territories of Ukraine. The masked people who tortured me told me Radio Liberty was still a branch of the CIA, and therefore an unequivocal enemy of Russia. Like I said, everything was simple: two worlds – freedom and tyranny – and a chair with wires between them like a border between these worlds." 🧵 2/3 <a href="https://snyder.substack.com/p/225" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://snyder.substack.com/p/225</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USpol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RadioLiberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RadioLiberty</a>

David August"The electric current that ran through my body on April 11, 2017, for articles I’d written for Radio Liberty, forces my muscles to contract. Victims’ psyches 'contract' in the same way, enabling them to endure torture: the organism musters everything it has. Sitting in that chair at the 'Ministry of State Security' in Russian occupied Donetsk, I knew why I was there."🧵 1/3 <a href="https://snyder.substack.com/p/225" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://snyder.substack.com/p/225</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USpol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#media</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#journalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RadioLiberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RadioLiberty</a>

Lisa Gets Politik"In violation of the law and the Constitution, the Trump administration purports to have closed Radio Free/Radio Liberty, a medium which is the source of much of what we known about Russia and the post-communist world. If America destroys one of its own symbols, and Russia applauds it from every federal channel - then maybe 2 + 2 really does equal 5?" - Timothy Snyder <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/225" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/225</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/USPOL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPOL</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/RadioFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RadioFree</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/RadioLiberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RadioLiberty</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Russia</a>
