The Donetsk Regional Museum of Local History invites museum staff, local historians, cultural workers, academics, lecturers, students, community leaders and all interested parties to take part in the all-Ukrainian academic and educational round table ‘The Ukrainian State: People, Ideas, Actions’, dedicated to Ukrainian Statehood Day.
The event will take place on 14 July at 10:00 online via Google Meet.
The event aims to deepen understanding of the key stages of Ukrainian state-building, as well as to shed light on little-known aspects of the thousand-year struggle for Ukrainian statehood.
Topics for the round table:
1. Ideas of Ukrainian state-building in historical retrospect.
2. Alternative concepts of state-building during the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921: from M. Hrushevsky to S. Petliura.
3. Outstanding figures in Ukraine’s struggle for statehood.
4. In defence of Ukrainian statehood: from the era of the Hetmanate to the War of Independence of Ukraine.
The event is intended to be a significant step towards deepening understanding of the role of prominent figures in the formation of Ukrainian statehood and raising awareness of their contributions amongst the general public; it is also an important occasion for the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas in the field of Ukrainian history and culture.
