Svetlana Alexievich Interview: A Human is a Scary Creature 

Alexievich's work has opened my eyes to understand better the country I live in, there are many similarities between south America and former Soviet republics, our minds gravitate to messianic proposes while we are sinking deeper in our own cruelty to each others, we need to have a constant enemy, and a romantization of a non existent time

We need voices like hers...to be heard, everywhere in the world. Because as of now, it's just those who shout the loudest to put their lies out there who get heard, get reported and get noticed on social media. People don't want to think for themselves....and that void created by the lack of individual understanding as things actually are, helps create monsters who crush the very people who brought them to power.

This interview is pure gold.

such rare kind of woman ! pure wisdom ! Greetings from Morocco !!

I haver never seen anyone speak with so much depth and detail about the soviet life. This interview helped me better understand my own post-soviet upbringing but more importantly my soviet parents. Everything she said accurately described the reality of my life. And yes my parents also wanted for Trump.....

I like her book about women in war. She is a great and very sensible person, a deep thinker, very honest, artist and researcher

Honest,blunt and wise

How have I not heard her before? Really amazing interview should be required listening in schools

She see things as they are.

“Freedom can’t be imported like Swiss chocolate or Finnish paper. Or say a Bentley. New cars are importable but a conscience isn’t.”

if you haven’t already, make sure to read her book “Second-hand time”. I highly recommend it to everyone. Also it got the Nobel prize

briliant thinker, really impressed by her

A human is a scary creature this is so true

Great interview

I don't know. I read her book and why she decided to stay in Chernobyl is beyond me. I think the culture in russian is so deep rooted, she didn't want to leave.

Why don’t you present yourself to elections?

為甚麼沒有中文版的字幕？這實在太不友好了。我的英文真的不太好啊...
