Our first Shevchenko Concert!
🇺🇦✍️📜

Thank you to everyone who came, helped prepare and planned this event!

Special shout out to Lesya Holets-Bondar, Lyuda Smith, Zoriana Lylo-Otkovych, Olha Puszczak for all their time and energy ensuring our concert was a success!

Thank you Yuriy Peresyolkov for the incredible photography!

We love being part of this great celebration!

Our students put it best:

“I haven’t been in Ukraine in eight years, and I feel like I’m getting a part of my culture back through dressing up in costumes and dancing traditionally Ukrainian dances,” Lyashenko said.

“I feel like Mavka is changing that perspective onto Eastern Europeans — that we’re all not part of the Soviet Union, that we’re not all Russians, that we’re all different groups of people and we have our own cultures,” Lylo added.

We are so incredibly proud of our students! Thank you for the beautiful words, Bella and Polina!

The smell of crepes and the sound of music filled Liberty Hall today as KU’s Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREES) held its annual Spring Festival. https://lawrenceks.news/4r33kK4

Ukrainians have been bravely battling for freedom for four years. Their resilience and courage have inspired the world.

We stand with Ukraine.🇺🇦🕊 Слава Україні!
