Aspekte der Geschichte der Ukraine - Vortrag von Franziska Davies

In the organizer's words:

Despite the war of aggression waged by Russia against Ukraine since spring 2014, which was extended to the entire country on February 24, 2022, many aspects of Ukrainian history are barely known in this country. Franziska Davies, an expert on Ukrainian history and professor at LMU Munich, who received the Bavarian Book Prize in 2022 for her book "Open Wounds of Eastern Europe", written together with Katja Makhotina, will present aspects of Ukraine's history.

A joint event by the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus Foundation, Karl Arnold Foundation, Consulate General of Ukraine in NRW, Düsseldorf City Libraries, Pilecki Institute Berlin, Düsseldorf contributions "Respekt und Mut", Ridne Slowo e. V., Verein zur Förderung der Städtepartnerschaft Düsseldorf-Czernowitz e. V. and the Studyon Institute for Language and Interculture Düsseldorf and Lviv co-financed by the European Union.
