The key context of the term Ukrainesplaining is that it’s one part of an old tradition – of who gets listened to, and who gets believed. It’s one corner of a poorly-lit room, in which biases and statuses warp assumptions and allocate more bandwidth and consequence to some people than others, creating an inequality of agency.

Timothy Snyder is also a famous Ukrainesplainer. The history professor was in Lviv over the weekend chatting up students and faculty at the Ukrainian Catholic University.
