Přednáška si vzala za cíl co možná srozumitelně zprostředkovat studentům i dalším neodborníkům na soudobé dějiny východní Evropy základní informace o vývoji samostatné Ukrajiny od rozpadu Sovětského svazu po přepad republiky Putinovými vojsky v únoru 2022. Ukrajina startovala z těžké hospodářské i strukturální krize, která způsobila zhroucení Sovětského svazu. Musela řešit privatizaci ekonomiky, vytváření nových hospodářských struktur, ohrožovaných tunelováním, ale i trvalou korupcí, spory mezi ruskou a ukrajinskou částí společnosti a boji mezi politickými protagonisty. Část z nich byla a je přímo navázána na moskevské mocenské centrum. Klíčovým momentem byl ve 21. stol. protiklad snah o začlenění dnes už jednoznačně demokratické republiky do evropských struktur a Moskvou drsně podporovaného úsilí o včlenění Ukrajiny zpět do širšího svazku Putinovy říše. Od ruské okupace Krymu a odtržení „povstaleckých republik“ Doněcku a Luhansku 2014 vede přímá linie k aktuální Putinově válce za připojení Ukrajiny k Rusku.

This work was commissioned by The Fires of London with funds from the Arts Council of Great Britain, and was first performed by them, conducted by Peter Maxwell Davies, on 31 January 1979 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. This new revised and corrected version was completed in 2024, and uses Sibelius software with NotePerformer sounds.

It was inspired by 3 Medieval books concerning religious experience: The Cloud of Unknowing; Revelations of Divine Love; Incendium Amoris.

What's the point of a protest?

In this episode, Aino Luotonen and Anna Heinonen, two Finnish family researchers offer us an insightful conversation on their research works on relationships with family and friends in the life stage of family building and co-residing friendship and roommate relations in Finnish communal living.  These two extraordinary scholars make us think outside the box by discussing the diversity of meanings of family, the role of key life stages such as marriage in people's broader relationships and networks and how people navigate the process of co-living.
