Summary

This is just a preview of our Patreon exclusive bonus episode. You can hear the episode in full by becoming a member at: https://www.patreon.com/indoctrination Returning guest, Olga Yurkova is a Ukrainian journalist and co-founder of StopFake.org, an independent Ukrainian organization that trains an international cohort of fact-checkers in an effort to curb propaganda and misinformation in the media. She spoke with us last July about her work fighting Russian propaganda campaigns in Ukraine with her projects Forbidden Facts and StopFake.org. Since then Vladimir Putin's violent invasion has ravaged the Ukrainian landscape displacing millions of people and causing thousands of civilian casualties in just a few months' time. Since internet connectivity is often unstable and services such as Zoom and Skype are currently inaccessible in Ukraine, we were only able to connect with Olga via cell phone. We are so grateful for her strength and insistence on continuing to inform people in real time of Russia's dangerous disinformation campaign even in the grips of wartime chaos. Olga spoke with us two weeks ago from the relative safety of central Ukraine.

0:34.9	Hi, everybody. Thanks for tuning in to a very special bonus episode. I wanted to say a few words
0:41.0	before introducing our guest Ukrainian journalist Olga Yurkova. First of all, our hearts go out to all
0:50.1	of the refugees and displaced families currently struggling through the terror of the Russian
0:55.6	military invasion of Ukraine. We hope the fact that the world is watching and keeping Ukraine
1:01.9	in its heart and in its mind bring some sense of comfort despite the horrible feeling of fear
1:09.3	and helplessness that accompanies armed occupations.
1:26.5	I also wanted to take a moment to share a personal story related to today's guest, Olga.
1:32.7	So, as I mentioned during a different episode, I found out that my grandfather, who I'd always been told was from Romania. Turns out that he was from a city that is part of
1:49.7	Ukraine now. The borders have changed many times. So according to where the borders are now,
1:57.1	I have Ukrainian heritage. And by total coincidence, the day before I was going to be
2:04.9	speaking with Olga, I had someone come by to tune the piano at my house. And he was a man who
2:14.9	walked in who had left Russia. He was a Jewish man who had been a refusnik, a Jewish man who
2:24.6	was not able to practice his Jewish religion while in Russia during the time that he lived
2:32.2	there and was finally with some American aid able to get a
2:38.1	passport to leave and come to America. He had learned to play piano in Russia and came here
