The Ukrainian Institute for Conservative Researches and Innovations continues to hold thematic events dedicated to the Ukrainian Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi. A joint scientific seminar with the Tauride National University named after I.V. Vernadsky brought together students, scholars, UICRI experts, public and political figures!
“If we consider the symbol of Skoropadsky, it is probably symbolic that Crimea should be a symbol of Ukrainian victory, and until we win it back, until we take it away, Ukraine will not develop as a full-fledged state. And Pavlo Skoropadsky himself stated in his messages that Ukraine is impossible without Crimea!” said Mykhailo Shevchenko, Director of the Ukrainian Institute of Cultural Research.
Andriy Ivanets, a leading researcher at the National Museum of the Holodomor Genocide and an expert of the Humanitarian Policy working group of the Crimean Platform Expert Group, also joined the event. According to him, for 100 years Hetman Skoropadskyi had been realizing that without Crimea Ukraine could not secure either its military or economic interests.
“Such meetings with students are useful, as one of the main tasks of the university is to foster critical thinking, and therefore presenting the conservative position is very useful, in particular in the ideal format of hearing opinions, asking questions, perhaps disagreeing with something, and thus shaping the consciousness of a modern citizen,” said Andriy Ivanets.
Meanwhile, the students say that the meeting was useful and motivating for them, as it was an opportunity to meet interesting people and join the initiatives of the Ukrainian Institute for Conservative Researches and Innovation in the future.
It is important, useful and necessary to organize such events for young people. Because it brings you back to your roots, and secondly, it helps you find your identity.
