The Peterson Literary Fund has provided funding for the multi-language translation of Ukraina Redux: On Statehood and National Identity — the revised 2023 edition essay of an Expert Report submitted to the International Court of Justice at The Hague.

Authored by Paul Robert Magocsi, professor at the Department of History and the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto and edited by professor Lubomyr Luciuk (Royal Military College of Canada), the booklet was published by Kashtan Press for the Chair of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Toronto.

Through its Special Projects program, the Peterson Literary Fund supported the translation of this valuable booklet from English into multiple languages, including French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, and Polish.

Ukraina Redux is an important publication that undercuts Putin’s imperialist narrative, by keenly demonstrating that Ukraine is not a new construct. Magocsi’s incisive essay succinctly reveals how Ukrainians have attempted to forge a state of their own over several centuries and how their struggle for statehood has been repeatedly undermined by predatory, and often brutal, neighbours. The publication is exceedingly relevant in light of Russia’s recent illegal war on Ukraine.

The story behind the release of Ukraina Redux was featured on French radio in an interview with author Paul Magocsi for the Paris-based radio station Fréquence protestante. Listen here: La publication Ukraine Redux du Prof. Paul Robert Magocsi.
