A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation was one of the most significant events in Europe following the fall of communism. Its importance is comparable to the Franco-German reconciliation after World War II: just as the former served as a cornerstone for a united and peaceful Europe, the latter offered a chance to extend it further East. However, since the 2010s, relations between Poland and Ukraine have shown a deteriorating trend. In this year’s Leszek Kołakowski lecture, Professor Yaroslav Hrytsak, one of Ukraine’s leading modern historians, will address three critical questions: What went wrong, what could be mended, and what consequences might this have for the future of Europe amidst the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war? Dr Anna Wylegała will offer a commentary, focusing particularly on recent Polish politics and social attitudes.
