A conclusion I reached while reading this article that I can't shake is Adolf Hitler was more forward-thinking, and compassionate, in a way, than Vladimir Putin.
To salvage this sow's ear: damnesian referred to the framing story of this article. Namely, that the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine threatened the world supply of wheat in general and specifically destroyed the Plant Genetic Resources Bank in Kharkiv. Grescoe contrasts this with the World War 2 invasion, which spared the research facility.
