Frontiers of Freedom: Negotiating the Nation in Multiethnic Ukraine 1648-1922

The narrative of Ukraine’s 300-year struggle for freedom resounds with the stories and voices of its multiethnic population – such as Jews, Muslim Tatars, Roma, and Poles. This lecture highlights the coalescence of perspectives of Ukraine’s different ethnic, religious, and political constituencies in the nation’s journey towards independence.

Presented by Dr. Andrey V. Ivanov, associate professor of history at the University of WI-Platteville. Dr. Ivanov holds a PhD in history from Yale University and teaches courses in world civilizations, history of technology, Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia.
