Webinar: New Paradigms in Historical Research after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

View Calendar
Presenter: Dr. Yana Prymachenko (Columbia University)

September 26 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

For centuries, Moscow claimed the mantle of the Third Rome, systematically erasing Kyiv’s role as the original heir to Byzantine civilization. This lecture reconstructs that long history of symbolic appropriation and traces how Ukraine – through monuments, military tradition, literature, and memory politics – is now reclaiming what was taken. The Russo-Ukrainian war is not only a war of territory; it is a war over who inherits the legacy of Byzantium.

Yana Prymachenko is a historian of Ukraine and Eastern Europe specializing in Soviet history, memory politics, propaganda, and Ukrainian cultural history. A Senior Research Scholar at the Institute of History of Ukraine (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), she was displaced by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and subsequently held visiting and teaching appointments at Princeton University. She is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Slavic Languages at Columbia University. She is the author and co-author of numerous books and over one hundred scholarly and journalistic publications in Ukrainian and English.

Moderator: Dr. Vitaly Chernetsky (Shevchenko Scientific Society/U of Kansas)

Трансформації та шляхи збереження української ідентичності в умовах війни
A multilingual anthology of various authors responding to the war in Ukraine in their respective languages, along with translations to Ukrainian and English. The book is a fruit of an international project under the auspices of Marci Shore, with the support of Fondation Jan Michalski and the International Renaissance Institute. A Ukrainian journalist ends each day “scorched by another person’s grief.” A schoolgirl in Croatia cherishes her Barbie and learns to dread air raid sirens more than her geometry homework. A poet imagines the spiritual life of a fish who escapes the hook. An exiled artist recreates her homeland in the shape of a bird. The writers assembled in this volume dream and document and remember, they translate one another’s work and meditate on fragility and resilience in the face of nihilism and obliteration. The collection gathers poems, essays, and stories written and translated in nine languages, reflecting an ongoing effort to communicate and understand across cultures. Both Sides Face East – Durable Words began as a response to the invasion of Ukraine, but stakes a wider claim on behalf of human value and integrity.
