The Ukrainian Donbas – The War and its Aftermath

Nataliya Gumenyuk (Visiting Fellow of the Berlin-Brandenburg Ukraine Initiative 2015/16) Chair: Volker Weichsel (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Osteuropakunde)

This lecture is part of the BBUI Lecture Series "Constructing Eastern Europe: Geographies of Power in the 20th and the 21st Centuries" that will include five lectures from March until June 2016. The Berlin-Brandenburg Ukraine Initiative (BBUI) contributes to a better understanding of the situation in Ukraine and its neighboring countries.

Abstract
Two years ago, on 16 March 2014, the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine has been annexed by the Russian state. The annexation was one of the most covered operations and has already become the classics of modern warfare. Gumenyuk, a journalist, was in the midst of the events and presents her own take on the long-term consequences for the region, people and the future of the Ukrainian state. In her talk Gumenyuk will focus on how fast the reality could be changed and artificial borders could be created, what impact it has for everyday life and human ability to adapt to the changes which would have been unthinkable still few years ago.

Nataliya Gumenyuk is an independent Ukrainian journalist who specializes in foreign affairs and conflict reporting. During the last years, she has focused on post-Arab Spring developments in the Arab world and since the start of the revolution and later conflict in Ukraine she is reporting from the field on Maidan, Crimea and Donbas. She has recently published a book titled Maidan Tahrir. In Search Of A Lost Revolution (2015), in which she compares the two revolutionary developments and seeks transregional approaches to recent global political and social interconnections. She is a co-founder and recently elected head of Hromadske.TV (Public TV), a journalist-led initiative to create public broadcasting in Ukraine, and also is running Hromadske International newsrooms in English and Russian. Nataliya reported from nearly 50 countries. She holds a Master’s degree in Global Journalism from Örebro University, Sweden.
