The Center for Liberal Modernity and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom cordially invite you to a presen\u00adtation of the edited volume \u201cRussia against Ukraine<\/a>\u201d, which explores the ideological, political, and cultural roots of Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Bringing together leading scholars, the book analyses how Russian elites have constructed anti-Ukrainian sentiment through propa\u00adganda, diplomacy, education, and historical narra\u00adtives, ultimately portraying the destruction of Ukrainian statehood and identity as a central aim of Putin\u2019s regime. Tracing these narra\u00adtives from Stalinist terror to today\u2019s genocidal policies and practices, the volume shows how revisionist myth-making has driven Russia\u2019s war and why under\u00adstanding this mythology is essential to compre\u00adhending the conflict.<\/p>\n

We will discuss these issues and insights with our speakers:<\/span><\/p>\n

Anton Shekhovtsov<\/strong>, Political Scientist and Director, Centre for Democ\u00adratic Integrity, Vienna; the book\u2019s editor and contributor
\nSergei Lebedev<\/strong>, Writer and Essayist; the book\u2019s contributor<\/p>\n

Moder\u00adation:
\nDaria Malling<\/strong>, Center for Liberal Modernity<\/p>\n

A limited number of copies of the volume will be available during the presentation.The discussion will be followed by a reception with coffee and cake at 15:30, providing an oppor\u00adtunity for further conver\u00adsation and networking.<\/p>\n
