About event
Does saving Europe today rest on the shoulders of its unwanted child?
Ukraine was said to be the unwanted child of Europe. Until the Russian invasion in 2022, this country was missing from the so-called mental map of Europe. But the second largest army in the world was opposed not by a nation that did not exist until then, but by a nation that had been forming on this territory for more than a thousand years. Regardless of whether or not it was wanted. In the lecture, we will focus on the genesis of the Ukrainian political nation.
Lenka Víchová is a Ukrainian scholar specializing in the contemporary history of Ukraine. She studied Ukrainian studies and Polish studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of Charles University. In 2005, she founded and continues to implement the Ukrainian Journal project. Since 2014, she has been the organizer of the Ukrainian Discussion Club. She is also the dramaturg of the Ukrainian Film Week festival, which is part of helping Ukraine in its cultural diplomacy. He regularly comments on events in Ukraine.
