Topics
Brooke Gladstone: 本期节目探讨了围绕历史叙事的争论,以及如何通过纪念性建筑的更名来改变纪念方式,而不是改变历史本身。节目还讨论了历史在萨赫勒地区冲突中的作用,以及俄罗斯宣传如何影响非洲政变。最后,节目采访了俄罗斯记者米哈伊尔·齐加尔,探讨了俄罗斯对自身历史的虚构和歪曲,以及这些虚构如何被用来为入侵乌克兰辩护。 Ty Seidule: 美国国防部更名军事基地是受到一系列事件的推动,并得到两党支持。更名不是为了终结种族主义,而是为了改变纪念方式,确保纪念对象符合美国的价值观。更名过程充分考虑了当地社区的意见。一些共和党候选人反对更名,认为这是政治正确。 Alexis Akwagyiram: 俄罗斯通过RT、Sputnik新闻以及社交媒体影响者传播反西方宣传,利用非洲影响者传播亲俄叙事,在马里和布基纳法索利用社交媒体支持政变。俄罗斯向非洲传播西方试图重新殖民非洲的叙事,利用粮食短缺问题进行宣传,将对乌克兰的侵略行为合理化。美国媒体对非洲的报道缺乏细致入微的分析,西方在非洲的历史是其与非洲关系复杂化的根源。西方需要与非洲建立真正的伙伴关系,了解当地政治和文化对于解决萨赫勒地区问题至关重要。 Mikhail Zygar: 俄罗斯历史一直被官方操纵,缺乏人民视角。斯拉夫民族统一的神话是近代才出现的,盖塞尔的编年史将基辅和莫斯科联系起来,为俄罗斯帝国主义提供了历史依据。伊万·马泽帕的立场选择在俄乌历史叙事中存在争议,“背叛”一词在当代乌克兰政治中具有重要意义。乌克兰人将俄罗斯文化视为帝国主义的象征,俄罗斯需要重新审视其文化历史中的错误和罪行。普京声称乌克兰是列宁发明的,这是错误的。俄罗斯政府一直对历史叙事非常敏感,俄罗斯需要对帝国主义历史进行反思和批判,创作一个真正反映人民视角的历史,承认其历史罪行并向受害者道歉。
