In his presentation Professor Greenberg will address the cultural and linguistic ramifications of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Russia’s invasion has accelerated processes of Ukrainianization, especially among the country’s Russian speakers. These processes have arisen in direct defiance of Vladimir Putin’s declared aims of liberating and protecting Ukraine’s Russophone population. Like Slobodan Milošević in the Yugoslav conflicts of the 1990s, Putin has used historical grievances and language issues to justify his country’s attacks on Ukrainian cities, towns and villages.
