"Question of Ukrainian autonomy under all-Russian Provisional Government in 1917" by Dr. Johannes Remy - seminar "Boundaries of History"
On the 5th of November Dr. Johannes Remy, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, EP Bronisław Geremek European Civilisation Chair, European Interdisciplinary Studies Department (Natolin (Warsaw) Campus) will make a presentation titled "Question of Ukrainian autonomy under all-Russian Provisional Government in 1917".
Soon after the February revolution, Ukrainian nationalists demanded establishment of autonomy. Provisional government ignored the first proposals, which led the nationalist organization Ukrainian Central Rada to unilateral declaration of autonomy. As a result of negotiations in June and July, the government and Rada reached an agreement about temporary administrative arrangements in Ukraine, which amounted to de facto autonomy. In the presentation, I analyze ideas and aims on both sides of the controversy".
The presentation will take place on Thursday, November 5th, at 18.30 in the assembly hall,17 Promyshlennaya St.
