For decades, Ukraine remained on the periphery of the Western European consciousness. A nation often overlooked or misunderstood. However, the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the full-scale invasion in 2022 have shattered those old frames of reference, forcing a radical re-evaluation of Ukraine’s central role in the global landscape.
Join the Goethe Institut New York, Deutsches Haus at NYU, the Ukrainian Museum, and 1014 for a profound exploration of this shifting reality. Following a presentation by German historian Karl Schlögel on the resilience of the Ukrainian people and the critical necessity of unwavering support from Europe and the United States, Anne O'Donnell, NYU, will facilitate a deeper dive into the conversation
Biographies
Karl Schlögel, born in 1948, studied philosophy, sociology, Eastern European history, and Slavic studies at the Free University of Berlin. He initially worked as a freelance translator, journalist, and author before being appointed to the Chair of Eastern European History at the University of Konstanz in 1990. In 1995, he moved to the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder, where he taught until 2013. Karl Schlögel is a recipient of the Pour le Mérite order and has been honored with numerous awards, most recently the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade (2025). His publications include: Entscheidung in Kiew. Ukrainische Lektionen (Hanser, 2015), Das sowjetische Jahrhundert. Archäologie einer untergegangenen Welt (C.H. Beck, 2017), Der Duft der Imperien (Hanser, 2020), American Matrix. Besichtigung einer Epoche (Hanser, 2023), and Auf der Sandbank der Zeit. Der Historiker als Chronist der Gegenwart (Hanser, 2025). Karl Schlögel lives in Berlin.
Anne O'Donnell is Associate Professor of History at New York University with a focus on twentieth-century Russia. Her first book, Power and Possession in the Russian Revolution (Princeton University Press, 2024), charts the rise of illiberal Soviet statecraft through the conquest of the urban material environment. It is a history of market-making in reverse: of how people have lost their worlds of things; how they have taken things from one another; how they scrambled conventional indicators of value, and how these searingly intimate, yet widely shared experiences coalesced into a staging ground for socialist revolution. Her next project will be a study of poverty in the post-war Soviet Union.
