In commemoration of its 75th anniversary, the Harriman Institute is mounting an exhibit of photographs, newspaper and journal clippings, pages from books, and artifacts to celebrate the Institute’s fifteen directors.

In his speech on February 21, 2022, Vladimir Putin claimed that Ukraine is a fake state created by Bolshevik Russia. His revisionist historical narrative is not only an attempt to justify an unjust war against the sovereign country of Ukraine, but it is also a direct attack on Ukrainian Studies as a discipline. This round table offers a decisive scholarly intervention in defense of historical truth and a reflection on our renewed responsibility as scholars in the face of the Russian military attack on Ukraine. Presented by the Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute, Columbia University. Featuring speakers Rory Finnin (University of Cambridge), Valentina Izmirlieva (Harriman Institute), art historian Vita Susak, Frank Sysyn (Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies), and moderator Mark Andryczyk (Harriman Institute).
Join us for a meeting of the New York-Russia Public Policy Series, co-hosted by the Harriman Institute at Columbia University and the New York University Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia.

Our responsibility to the communities we serve is to inform and educate in the atmosphere of increased disinformation and multiplication of alternative “truths.” Our panelists will address some of the most pressing questions of the moment. This event is also cosponsored by the Center for Social Media and Politics at NYU and the Salzman Institute of War and Peace Studies.

Ukrainian artists have been addressing Russian aggression in their country since the war between Russia and Ukraine began in 2014. Jolted by the illegal annexation of Crimea and by the invasion of the Donbas region, for years Ukrainian creative individuals have been developing innovative and challenging art that explores themes such as memory, gender, and displacement. The all-out attack on Ukraine’s existence begun on February 24th has further challenged these artists to respond creatively and to ensure the country’s survival. This round table examines the ways that Ukrainian music, film, literature, and visual art are engaged to counter the attack on Ukraine. Presented by the Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute.

This exhibition consists of twenty-three original works by Mikhail Magaril, including painting, relief, sculpture, graphic works and collages that reflect the main theme of his work; namely, the traumatic experience of an atmosphere of fear in the Stalinist USSR as seen through the eyes of a child. For Magaril, the artistic process is a way to overcome fear and horror. The use of irony, laughter and mockery help to debunk the "greatness" and "holiness" of tyrants of the past and present.
