This war is a battle of democracy against autocracy - with Lucan Way

Propaganda has long been a powerful tool for shaping public opinion, influencing international discourse, and justifying military actions. In Russia’s war against Ukraine, propaganda has been a central instrument for creating narratives that legitimize aggression, undermine democracy, and manipulate perceptions both domestically and internationally.

This episode is a recording of a public event held by Central European University in Vienna. The speakers of the event were: 

- Teresa Marques, a philosopher of language, Associate Professor  at the Philosophy Department of the University of Barcelona
- Juliane Fürst, a historian, professor at the Department of Historical Studies at Central European University. 
- Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, president of PEN Ukraine and chief editor of UkraineWorld. 

The event was moderated by Fabio Lampert, Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Vienna.

It was organized by the Knowledge in Crisis, a Cluster of Excellence supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

Propaganda: shaping narratives in times of war. A public discussion at CEU, Vienna

There are foreigners fighting for Ukraine in this war — but their numbers are small.
They are not sent by their governments; they come as volunteers, driven by a personal sense of justice and a desire to help.

One of them is a British man with the callsign Caesar.

He serves in Ukraine's International Legion, fighting not only for Ukraine but for the values this struggle represents.

Myroslav Shkandrij is a prominent scholar of Ukrainian cultural history and Professor Emeritus at the University of Manitoba in Canada.

He has written extensively on topics such as avant-garde art in Ukraine, Ukrainian nationalism, Jews in Ukrainian literature, cultural imperialism, and decolonization.

His book “Russia and Ukraine: Literature and the Discourse of Empire, from Napoleonic to Postcolonial Times”, published in 2001, remains a classic text on Russian cultural imperialism and Ukrainian resistance to it.

Why Russia fears Ukrainian literature - with Myroslav Shkandrij

What’s the difference between colonialism and imperialism? What types of colonialism can we identify — and which of them are playing out in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and other countries?

This conversation is not purely academic. It helps us better understand what’s happening today — and what might happen tomorrow. Russian colonial and imperial practices sometimes resemble those of other empires — but at other times, they differ significantly. Russia often masks its imperial violence with nationalist mythology. It’s important to reveal why that mythology is misleading — and dangerous.

In this episode, I speak with two key figures at the Ukrainian Institute who work on engagement with the wider world. We discuss the challenges and opportunities of building these vital connections.

Our guests are Alim Aliev, Deputy Director General of the Ukrainian Institute, and Anabell Ramires, Head of the Department for Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

How Does Ukraine Talk to the Wider World? We Asked the Ukrainian Institute

How can we understand what’s happening inside the Ukrainian army?

How do soldiers feel? What challenges do they face? What parts of military life do they believe aren’t working?

Traditional sociology doesn’t always provide the answers. But another discipline — anthropology, also called ethnography — offers a different approach. This method involves deep immersion into the everyday lives of soldiers. 

A more recent innovation, called mobile ethnography, takes this further — allowing researchers to stay connected with soldiers even when they’re not physically present.

We wanted to learn more about what such a deep dive can reveal about the Ukrainian army.

Russian war crimes explained by Nobel-winning Ukrainian NGO - with Oleksandra Romantsova

Trump is set to meet with Putin in Alaska on August 15. Media reports and leaks ahead of this meeting, along with statements by President Trump and members of his administration, suggest that the two leaders may have discussed a plan in which Ukraine would cede some or all of the occupied territories to Russia in exchange for “peace.”

This brings us back to the basics: the fundamental truth that violating internationally recognized borders through military aggression cannot lead to sustainable peace.

In this episode, we explain why the idea of a territorial swap is dangerous — why it would undermine international law, destabilize the global order, and why neither Ukraine nor most EU member states are likely to accept it.

Why Trump’s Ukraine plan won’t work - with Tetyana Ogarkova

Kherson may be the most dangerous regional center in Ukraine. Occupied by Russian forces in 2022, its residents were subjected to torture and intimidation.

The city was liberated by Ukrainian forces in November 2022 — but almost immediately came under daily bombardment and shelling from Russian troops stationed just across the Dnipro River.

In June 2023, Kherson was hit by a catastrophic flood caused by the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant — an explosion orchestrated by the Russian military.
Today, the city’s residents are hunted by Russian drones, as if caught in some macabre human safari.

“Kherson: Human Safari” is the title of a documentary film by Zarina Zabrisky, an American filmmaker who has spent significant time in Kherson, reporting from this brave and embattled city.
