The June edition of Eastsplainers is dedicated to media, cultural memory and conspiracy theories.

In this lecture, Russian writer Maxim Osipov shares his sober take on the Russian war in Ukraine, migration, and on the question: what does it mean to be a Russian writer in times of full-blown Russian imperialism?

The February edition of Eastsplainers is devoted to music and sound. UvA welcomes three internationally renowned musicians with a special interest in new or, as they themselves call it, ‘unheard’ music.

For this opening of the public lecture series Eastsplainers, the UvA welcomes Ukrainian linguist Oksana Kononchuk.

On June 28, the Russia and Eastern Europe Knowledge Alliance (REKA) organised an online event titled A new reality in Eastern Europe. We discussed this new reality with representatives of knowledge institutions, the government and media in the Netherlands. Because what are the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine for both countries, Europe as a whole and the Netherlands in particular? Both the opening session and the panel discussion were livestreamed from 14:00 until 15:30.
