Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Oleksandr Naboka gave a popular lecture on the 1000th day of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Today, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of History and Archaeology of Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University, Oleksandr Naboka, held a popular science lecture “Never yield to a defiant force. The 1000th day of the war for Ukraine”. The participants of the event were teachers and students of the Institute of Social and Humanitarian Sciences.

The general leitmotif of the lecture was the statement of its author that Ukraine today is at the epicenter of “sweat, blood and tears”. The last phrase was once expressed by the outstanding English Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who, in 1940, demonstrated with these words the state of English society, which was forced to resist the Nazi invasion. It was the allusion to the events of the “Battle of Britain” that was dominant in the speaker’s characterization of the current state of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Oleksandr Naboka drew historical analogies between today’s war in Ukraine and other aggressive wars waged by Russia/USSR throughout its history. As the speaker noted, the latter were always distinguished by extreme hypocrisy in justifying their expansionist intentions. “Today, more than ever, in practice, one can trace the falsehood of the Russian interpretation of its “people’s wars”, which were most often provoked by Moscow’s xenophobia,” the author of the event noted.

The participants of the event made a joint decision to continue to monitor the historical course and results of the modern armed conflict in Ukraine.
