Bringing Ukrainian Studies to New Audiences

View Calendar
In 1991, after seventy years of imperial Soviet rule, Ukraine became an independent country. Since 2022, it has been fighting an existential war against an unprovoked, brutal, and ongoing invasion by Russia. At the center of its resistance is the resilience of a united people. Ukraine expert Adrian Karatnycky provides an eyewitness account of the history of the modern Ukrainian state and of the nation through the tenures of the six presidents who have led Ukraine since the collapse of the USSR, including Volodymyr Zelensky. Karatnycky shows how—despite the influence of corrupt oligarchs, pressures from Russia, and the legacies of Soviet rule—an inclusive and united Ukrainian nation has emerged that inspires the world as it defends the principle that states and peoples have the right to their national sovereignty. Adrian Karatnycky is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and co-director of the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter. Through the council’s Ukraine program, as a labor union official, and as CEO of Freedom House, he has been deeply engaged in Ukraine for over three decades. He has written about Ukraine for leading newspapers and journals including the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, New York Times, Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy, where he is a regular commentator. Reviews and Praise “Fascinating and highly informative. . . . Mr. Karatnycky . . . has been studying Ukraine for decades and is especially well placed to tell its story and offer a convincing analysis of the fateful turns in Ukraine’s past as well as a picture of its possible future.”—Arthur Herman, Wall Street Journal Listed by Wall Street Journal among “12 Books to Read: The Best Reviews of June” “An authoritative account [and] an important addition to the literature. . . . Karatnycky combines eyewitness accounts with historical analysis, adding depth and insight to the bulletins of war.”—Kirkus Reviews “[A] comprehensive account of Ukraine’s recent history by a writer who is thoroughly familiar with Ukraine’s identity, international context and the intricacies of Ukraine’s cultural and historic contemporary developments.”—Katya Soldak, Forbes
Book Launch: Battleground Ukraine. From Independence to the War with Russia by Adrian Karatnycky
Ukraine’s abundant heritage of singing includes thousands of carols for the Christmas and New Year’s season. This book introduces an ancient culture that is nevertheless new to world audiences. The carols within it become a prism through which all of Ukraine’s history, culture, and resilient spirit are brought to light. As an anthology, the book includes the internationally celebrated Carol of the Bells—in its original version as a winter song of gratitude and resilience, and it spans sacred and secular pieces from early monophonic chant to elaborate, new choral fantasies. Transliterations and translations make the carols accessible to a broad audience. As a cultural companion, the book shares the stories behind each carol: historical context, biographies of composers, explanations of winter rituals. Written during Russia’s war on Ukraine, the book is also journalistic. These carols often carry gripping narratives of a unique choral activism that has helped Ukraine, its language, and its people to survive. Marika Kuzma’s work is invaluable for any conductor, singer or musicologist interested in the rich heritage of Ukrainian choral music. The recent horrendous invasion of Ukraine has given heightened urgency to the study and promulgation of Ukrainian culture. Marika’s comprehensive anthology and passionate scholarship shines a bright light on the vital choral tradition in Ukraine and makes it accessible to choirs, conductors and music lovers around the world.—Grant Gershon, Grammy Award Winning Artistic Director—Los Angeles Master Chorale Marika Kuzma grew up in Hartford, CT, in a close-knit Ukrainian diaspora community. Ukrainian songs and hymns were among the first music she sang with her family at home and in their Ukrainian Catholic church choir. After attaining a bachelor’s degree in voice as a Morehead Scholar at UNC Chapel Hill, a master’s degree from Stanford University, and her doctorate at Indiana University in choral conducting, she was hired at the University of California, Berkeley. As a professor of music there, she directed its large University Chorus and Chamber Chorus, taught conducting and music history, and led its solo vocal program for some twenty-five years. She also guest directed choirs at Dartmouth College, Oklahoma City University, and the University of Virginia. In 2007–2009, she served as chef de choeur (chorusmaster) to maestro Kent Nagano and the Montreal Symphony and led the St. Lawrence Choir of Montreal. Moderator: Dr. Maria Sonevytsky (Bard College)
Book launch: Carols of Birds, Bells, and Sacred Hymns from Ukraine: Anthology and Cultural Companion
The panelists will discuss religious freedom in wartime, particularly the case of contemporary Ukraine. They will focus on the recently adopted and controversial Ukrainian law concerning religious organizations with ties to a hostile state - which is generally understood as targeting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the Moscow Patriarchate. The presenters will deal with the political context, social expectations, and populism; how the issue affects Russian Orthodox outside Ukraine, particularly in the United States; and both domestic and international legal considerations of human rights, the rule of law, and Europe-Ukraine relations. The presentations will be in English. They will be followed by a discussion among the presenters, after which they will entertain questions from the public.
