It's not about "ancient hatreds" The different trajectories of the Ukrainian-Polish and Azerbaijani-Armenian conflicts show how politics affect historical memory and ethnic conflict.

It starts with β€œgender studies and underwater basket weaving are a waste of time” and turns into β€œstudying math or Chinese is a luxury you can’t afford.”
