Institute for Global Reconstitution Presents

At the Vanishing Point in History. Critical Perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine War

The authors and editor will present At the Vanishing Point in History and discuss how the ongoing war in Ukraine, along with other global crises, poses challenges for critical research, intellectual life, and society at large.

Putin's war has prompted a deep analysis and reevaluation of the forces driving this deadly confrontation. At the Vanishing Point in History brings together renowned humanities scholars and prominent novelists to explore the roots and causes of the ongoing catastrophe in Eastern Europe. This distinguished group of Russian émigrés, well-versed in Russian culture, history, and philosophy, aims to examine the past to understand the present. Experts in the inner workings of Russian society who have fled the country, they believe it is their responsibility to critically assess the current crisis, reflect on its origins, and outline the agenda for future research in the humanities. In response to this challenge, they present a collection of analytical essays that offer essential background and context for understanding the unfolding events in Europe.

The working language is English. Free entrance, no registration.

Speakers: Marina Bykova (North Carolina State University), Mikhail Mayatsky (Independent Researcher), Olena Pavlova (Humboldt University Berlin/National Technical University of Ukraine Kyiv Polytechnic University), Andrey Oleynikov (Bielefeld University)
