Dear Friends,

KRYTYKA is pleased to announce the launch of a new project: Translations of articles published in KRYTYKA from Ukrainian into English. Articles published in KRYTYKA have been acknowledged for their exceptional quality over the 15 years of KRYTYKA's existence. Contributors are major Ukrainian and international scholars and intellectuals.

The main goal of this project is to make available to the international reader the Ukrainian perspective on issues pertaining to Ukraine and the region. Especially under current political circumstances in Ukraine and Eastern Europe this is a crucial moment for such an enterprise. The project will be geared towards scholars, experts, journalists, and policy makers working on Ukraine and Eastern Europe, as well as interested general public.

Another goal of the project is to provide non-Ukrainian speaking Ukrainians with information about and analysis of Ukrainian situation in the spheres of culture, history research, politics, and society.

Furthermore, this project will introduce Ukrainian scholars to the international intellectual and expert community and effectively promote Ukrainian studies abroad by creating a space for productive discussion of Ukrainian topics.
