From Cossack law to the constitution:
The roots of Ukrainian democracy As early as 1710, the unofficial constitution of the Ukrainian Cossacks was a groundbreaking document - an expression of the deeply rooted democratic tradition of Ukrainian society. This early constitutional work is regarded as the legacy of those generations who signed the constitution of independent Ukraine in 1996. To this day, the country continues to fight for its right to be a free and democratic nation with unwavering determination and great sacrifice.
As part of our series of lectures on the history of Ukraine, trained historian Hanna Savchuk sheds light on the special significance of this first constitution for the Ukrainian people.
What obstacles stood in the way of its implementation? How strong was the will to assert itself as a sovereign nation? Don't miss this special opportunity to learn more about a formative stage in Ukrainian history.
Together we would like to set an example of solidarity and raise awareness of the historical roots of today's Ukraine.
Please note: The lecture will be held in German and Ukrainian. We look forward to welcoming you to this special event!
