Adrian Karatnycky in conversation with journalist Vladislav Davidzon.

November 18, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

This is a selection of essays and dispatches from a veteran observer of the development of Ukrainian culture and politics over the course of a decade. The volume deals with the issue of Ukrainian-Jewish relations and its historical legacy in the context of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. It charts the events that took place in Ukraine after the 2013-2014 Euromaidan Revolution and focuses on the place of Ukrainian Jewry within a quickly developing Ukrainian political nation.

Adrian Karatnycky, formerly the president of Freedom House, is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and a Board Member and Co-Director of the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, a Canadian charitable nonprofit organization. He is a contributor to Foreign Affairs, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, Foreign Policy, The New York Times, and many other periodicals. He is author of the forthcoming book Battleground Ukraine: From Independence to the War with Russia..

Vladislav Davidzon is the European culture correspondent at Tablet, a fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, and the author of From Odessa With Love: Political and Literary Essays in Post-Soviet Ukraine. He was the founder and Chief Editor of The Odessa Review. He is a contributor to Foreign Policy Magazine and the Opinion Section of the Wall Street Journal. He studied human rights law in Venice.
Jewish-Ukrainian Relations and the Birth of a Political Nation
November 10, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Alex Averbuch will read, in the original Ukrainian and in English translation, from his latest book Zhydivsky korol (The Jewish King, a 2023 finalist for the Shevchenko National Prize), as well as from his upcoming collection, Of Rage and Longing, and answer questions from the audience. Averbuch's poetry deals with interwoven Jewish-Ukrainian relations through the prism of his family history and Ukraine's multiethnic past and present. The book features poeticized documentary materials related to the Second World War: letters by Ukrainian Ostarbeiters sent to their relatives in Ukraine, interwoven with letters by Jewish Holocaust survivors who returned to devastated villages in Ukraine in search of their murdered relatives, as well as poems about the Russo-Ukrainian war currently taking place in his home region of Luhans’k. Unsettling but ultimately liberatory de-specifications of ethnos, language, and sexuality relieve trigger-points in Ukraine’s history through the confessional intimacy of family, shame, pleasure, and the reconciliation of self and other.

Alex Averbuch, a poet, translator, and scholar, is the author of four books of poetry and an array of literary translations between Hebrew, Ukrainian, English, and Russian. English translations of his poems have appeared in the Manhattan Review, Copper Nickel, Plume, Birmingham Poetry Review, Words Without Borders, Sugar House Review, Constellations, and Common Knowledge. His latest book Zhydivs’kyi korol' (The Jewish King), from which most of the forthcoming English collection Of Rage and Longing derives, was a finalist for the Shevchenko National Prize, Ukraine’s highest award for culture and literature. Averbuch is active in promoting Ukrainian-Jewish relations. He has translated into Hebrew and published over thirty selections of poetry by contemporary Ukrainian poets. Currently he is compiling and editing an anthology of contemporary Ukrainian poetry in Hebrew translation.
Of Rage and Longing: Poetry by Alex Averbuch
Мирослав Шкандрій

November 4 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

В історичній науці та в інтелектуальному дискурсі час до часу зринають питання, які набувають суспільного розголосу. Нещодавно такого розголосу набула тема військового формування Другої світової війни—Дивізії «Галичина». Професор М. Шкандрій присвятив цій темі ґрунтовну монографію In the Maelstrom: The Waffen SS “Galicia” Division and Its Legacy (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2023). Під час доповіді науковець з’ясує генезу створення Дивізії, її участь у військових діях, відмежувавши строгі історичні факти від пропаганди та, зокрема, відповість на питання, над яким полемізує чимало істориків: Чому молодь зголошувалася до Дивізії? Чому назва Ваффен-СС? Була це українська чи німецька армія? Чи можна уважати дивізійників воєнними злочинцями? Як розуміти теперішню контроверсію про памʼятники?
