Yet more, from Harper's, on how, after early post-election promises, how Zelensky refused to further confront corruption (being faced down by oligarchs that had helped get him elected) and also refused further pre-war negotiations with Russia, stared down by Ukrainian nationalists. The author makes the note, contra #BlueAnon and #NAFOFella types, that while far-right nationalist parties may not have much electoral success in Ukraine, they've actually, since the Maidan, put in place a level of Overton Window shifting the Republican Party in the US could only dream about. Oh, again, this is Harper's, not RT. And Desch is a professor at Notre Dame.
Related? The indispensible, and irrefutable, Ivan Katchanovski, via whom I saw the Harper's piece on Twitter, has far more Maidan background at Brill.
