Lena Petrova of World Affairs In Context with more than half a million subscribers on YouTube wanted to explore what a peace researcher like me has to say about, among other things, the First and the Second Cold Wars and why ethics has disappeared from politics, enabling violence to be so accepted. I am personally very happy about this conversation, which also yielded an amazing number of very appreciative comments on YouTube. No doubt, people are longing for alternatives, including peace perspectives. — Jan Oberg
