Valentyna Savchyn will reveal how Soviet bilingual dictionaries subtly reshaped Ukrainian—tools of russification masked as “neutral” reference works. Her talk shows how lexicographers resisted erasure through language.
#UkrainianLanguageDay #TheBattleForUkrainian #HURIBooks #UkrainianLiterature

Join us Oct 28, 12–1:30 PM (ET) at HURI’s Pritsak Memorial Library for a lecture by Valentyna Savchyn, Lund-Harvard Visiting Fellow. Moderated by Megan K. Duncan Smith, this in-person event explores Ukrainian language, russification, and resistance. Lunch will be served.

On #UkrainianWritingandLanguageDay, we honor centuries of resistance to russian imperial oppression. The Battle for Ukrainian, edited by Flier & Graziosi, traces 150 years of linguistic repression—from the #Valuev Circular to Soviet russification and Ukraine’s cultural revival.

At the launch of Volodymyr Rafeyenko’s new book, Maryna Baydyuk (United Help Ukraine) reminded us: culture is essential. We also revealed our next release—Myroslav #Laiuk’s THE WORLD IS NOT MADE, translated by Ali Kinsella. Coming fall 2026.

#HURIBooks #UkrainianLiterature @harvard.edu
