	War in Ukraine and Universal Values	Fri, 11.03.2022	Panels and Discussions	Philipp Blom Serhii Plokhii Timothy Snyder	War in Ukraine and Universal Values Fri, 11.03.2022 Speakers: Philipp Blom Serhii Plokhii Timothy Snyder Series: Panels and Discussions On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, launching a full-scale war of aggression. This war is the product of imperialism rooted in historical fantasy, intended to deny Ukraine the fundamental right to exist. It is enabled by the Putin regime’s longstanding assault on the very notion of truth. While Ukrainians are left to defend their country, what is at stake goes far beyond the borders of Ukraine.

	The Universe behind Barbed Wire	Thu, 10.06.2021	Panels and Discussions	Katherine Younger Timothy SnyderMyroslav Marynovych	The Universe behind Barbed Wire Thu, 10.06.2021 Speakers: Katherine Younger Timothy SnyderMyroslav Marynovych Series: Panels and Discussions In the 1970s, the notion of human rights transformed the landscape of dissent in the Soviet Union. Buoyed by the signing of the Helsinki Final Act in 1975, dissidents embraced this new framework, holding the Soviet regime to account and asserting their right to live in such a way that their outer conduct reflected their inner convictions. The regime found this new challenge to the worldview it sought to impose on its citizens deeply threatening and responded with harsh repressive measures, including the arrest of many of the movement's leaders.

	The Russo-Ukrainian War and the Future of the World	Mon, 26.06.2023	Panels and Discussions	Ivan Krastev Timothy Snyder Misha Glenny	The Russo-Ukrainian War and the Future of the World Mon, 26.06.2023 Speakers: Ivan Krastev Timothy Snyder Misha Glenny Series: Panels and Discussions The Russo-Ukrainian War recalls all of the half-forgotten precedents and warnings from the past. Yet, in a profound sense, it is a war for and about the future of democracy. It is also about sustainable energy, the distribution of natural resources, and the possibility of truth in an age of digital propaganda. The war raises the need for ethical judgement at a time when it might appear that the major questions are all technical. We invite you to a discussion between two thinkers who bring together an expertise in the region with a concern for the broadest possible questions of international order and justice. Read more

The reporter Roman Protasevich (26), known for his coverage of pro-democracy protests, was then abducted by Belarusian authorities, along with the student Sofia Sapega (23). How can reporters be protected against the use of military force by dictators? And how should the EU react to the state hijacking of an aircraft bound from one EU capital to another? Given Russia’s dominant role in Belarus, might it bear responsibility? Read more
