OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). 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.

The Dacre Lecture 2022 - ‘Stalin’s War on Ukraine and Putin’s War on Ukraine: What we Know Now, and Why it Matters’
The Dacre Lecture is held in association with the Faculty of History
“Once, Stalin spoke obsessively about loss of control in Ukraine, and about foreign plots to subvert Ukraine. Now it is Vladimir Putin who believes that a sovereign, democratic, stable Ukraine, tied to the rest of Europe by links of culture and trade, would be a threat to the Russian elite. In the 1930s, Moscow’s fear of Ukraine led to tragedy, and so it has once again. This lecture will both tell the story of Stalin’s war on Ukraine – the artificial famine and mass repression that followed – and examine its echoes in the present.”
