Please join the Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute for a talk with Sasha Romantsova. Moderated by Mark Andryczyk.
For 9 years, a war has been going on between two countries in the middle of the Eurasian continent. Since February 24, 2022, this war has called into question the existence and capacity of such giant subjects of international relations as the UN Security Council, the OSCE, the International Criminal Court, and others. This war, some 4.5 thousand miles from the USA, as it turned out, led to a food crisis for half of the population of the planet Earth, as well as doubts about the reality of such constructs as "Great Russian Culture", "History of the Russian State", "Kyivan Rus" and "The power of democracy". This is a lecture by the first documentarian of international crimes in Ukraine, who started working in the Russian-occupied Donbas in 2014. This is a lecture about the situation in Ukraine through the eyes of a human rights defender whose status as a Nobel laureate gives her the right to talk about human rights defenders who cannot speak for themselves - human rights defenders from Belarus and Russia.
