This is the Vimeo channel for Cambridge Ukrainian Studies, an initiative of the Department of Slavonic Studies at the University of Cambridge.

Cambridge Ukrainian Studies aims to promote and contribute to the study of Ukraine in the United Kingdom and beyond. It is committed to deepening public understanding of Ukraine and to advancing fresh, innovative approaches to research on the largest country within Europe, a critical crossroads between ‘East’ and ‘West’ with a rich historical, linguistic, and cultural inheritance.

While its primary focus is on the literature and culture of Ukraine, the initiative seeks to explore – and challenge – conventional notions of disciplinary and geographical borders and to foster a lively exchange between artists, scholars, politicians, and the wider public, as well as between institutions of higher learning in Ukraine, Europe, and North America.
