Ukrainian writer and poet Tanya Pyankova, who was born in the Ukrainian region of Ivano-Frankivsk, has written a book on Holodomor called “Вік червоних мурах“ (The Age of the Red Ants), for which she combined and assembled in an imagined place what she found in archive documents from that time. As she writes in the epilogue, her novel is about "the horrible, unjustifiable terror that the occupying state of Russia began against Ukraine in 1908 and is continuing to this day".
The reading and discussion with Tanya Pyankova is jointly organised by Citizen+ Platform for Political Education and the German Association for Eastern European Studies (Junge DGO). The event will be moderated by Lidia Zessin-Jurek (Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague) and held in Ukrainian and English.
The admission is free of charge.
