Historian Every Saturday: Bohdan Paska. Valentyn Moroz: the path to eternity (18.05.2024)

A lecture by the historian Bohdan Paska (“Historian Every Saturday” series) on Valentyn Moroz and the Ukrainian dissident movement. The key points: dissent of the 1950s–80s as resistance to Russification for the sake of the Ukrainian language, culture, and independence; Moroz as a radical dissident and his essays (“A Chronicle of Resistance” and others); the Soviet branding of dissidents as “heirs of Nazism”; the international campaign aimed at the diaspora (“News from Ukraine,” “statements of repentance”).
