Ukraine & Russia 101

May 12, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Ukraine & Russia 101, a lecture with Corning Community College Professors Sky Moss, MA & Robert Cooper, PhD.

For months the world has watched in horror as Ukraine has been invaded by Russia with no good end in sight. But while most people watching the news have gleaned something of the tangled relationship of these two countries, their history is long, cultural identity complex, the story shrouded in misinformation, and complicated by political powers.

In order to help frame and flush out an understanding of this conflict,  Professors Sky Moss, MA, and Robert Cooper, PhD, of CCC will be joining us at the library to give a brief history of the cultural identity of the two nations and how national boundaries have affected their history …. and now, how misinformation and political propaganda have ultimately brought us to the invasion currently underway.

The talk will last about a half hour with time for questions to  follow.

Downstairs at the Library: You may use the stairs inside the library or enter at the lower end of the building.

Please call the library at 607-569-2045 to sign up.
