Snyder, a 55-year-old Yale University professor who has written extensively on Eastern Europe and the global resurgence of authoritarian regimes, was applauded as he addressed runners in Ukrainian before joining a workout routine and participating in the run. The fiveand 10 kilometer (three and six mile) runs took place around a sprawling park in the Ukrainian capital created out of a renovated Soviet-era exhibition center, as the country endured an escalation in Russian missile and drone attacks, largely aimed at electricity infrastructure. The runners included locals, service members and veterans, as well as wives of prisoners. Among them was 27-year-old Anastasia, whose husband is a prisoner of war. Ukrainian soldiers often give harrowing accounts of their conditions in Russian captivity when they return home as part of regular prisoner exchanges. In a report issued in July, a United Nations human rights agency said it “continued to document the widespread use of torture and ill-treatment, including sexual violence, against civilians and Ukrainian prisoners of war held by the Russian Federation.” Snyder, who has organized fundraisers as part of the country’s war-relief effort, enjoys near celebrity status in Ukraine and earlier this week visited the country’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who thanked him for his charity work. After Saturday’s race, Snyder was surrounded by admirers, many of whom waited in line for autographs and selfies and for the historian to sign translated copies of his widely-read books on Ukraine, “Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin” and “The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America.” Saturday’s race was organized by the Kyiv School of Economics’ charity foundation.
