Teaching Havel in Kyiv: Lessons From Ukraine for Trump's America
Original: Teaching Havel in Kyiv: Lessons From Ukraine for Trump’s America
A New Republic essay examines how Václav Havel's ideas about democracy, truth and resistance to authoritarianism are being taught in wartime Kyiv, and what lessons they hold for the United States under Donald Trump. It draws parallels between Ukraine's defence of democratic values against Russian aggression and American political tensions, suggesting Czechoslovak dissident thought remains relevant on both sides of the Atlantic.
Why now: Ongoing debate about democratic backsliding in the US and Ukraine's wartime struggle makes Havel's legacy feel newly relevant.
