CRIMEA AS A SOURCE OF STRENGTH IN THE EUROPEAN POLITICAL IMAGINATION
European countries have perceived Crimea in very different ways across the centuries. In the 18th century, the German philosopher Johann Gottfried von Herder was convinced that a new European civilisation was emerging precisely in Crimea.In the 19th century, the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz lamented its “former” glory. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union shaped for the world an image of Crimea as a showcase of a socialist paradise. The discussion participants will explore the centuries-long intertwining of the destinies of the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar peoples.
