Russia’s expansionist ambitions, including the annexation of Crimea and military actions in the Donbas, are the greatest threat to Ukraine’s future and national identity. In the 1930s, Ukraine faced a similar existential challenge due to the Soviet Union’s territorial ambitions. Stalin’s policies led to the deaths of millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor, and while Ukraine survived, that came at a great cost.
This panel discussion will bring together experts to discuss Ukraine’s experience with great challenges and will coincide with the release of the film Bitter Harvest – a feature film which tells the story of Holodomor.
