This year marks the 100th anniversary of Peter Jacyk’s birth and the completion of the monumental English translation project of Hrushevsky’s History of Ukraine-Rus’, produced by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) at the University of Alberta.

To celebrate and commemorate these two extraordinary milestones and achievements, the Petro Jacyk Education Foundation is releasing a series of short videos about Peter Jacyk, his values and philanthropy, as well as the Hrushevsky Translation Project.

In this video, Prof. Alexander Motyl talks about Ukrainian Studies at Columbia University and the late Peter Jacyk.
