Constantin Sigov: The Message from Kyiv on Ukraine and Europe
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 17, 2023, 19:00 – 21:00
Poselství z Kyjeva o Ukrajině a Evropě (The Message from Kyiv on Ukraine and Europe), a book by Kyiv philosopher Constantin Sigov contains interviews and articles from the first six weeks of the Ukrainian war while also delivering a valuable account of the period when Russian forces stood before Kyiv and deep reflection on the meaning of this war. “We are not just saving our own skins, we are defending the ideals of dignity and freedom,” says Sigov, a leading figure in Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity from the turn of 2014.
Taking part in this debate with Sigov will be the translators of the book, Lenka Karfíková and Filip Karfík, while topics will include the motives for Putin’s aggression, the moral underpinnings of Ukrainian resistance and the war’s significance for Europe.
