A look into the history of the Ukrainian-Russian conflict. Speaker: Dr. Hans-Jürgen Sarholz

On May 30, 1876, Tsar Alexander II of Russia signed a decree during his spa stay in Bad Ems at the "Vier Türmen," banning the dissemination of literature in the Ukrainian language. At that time, Ukraine, like Poland and the Baltic States, was part of the Russian Empire. The lecture sheds light on the background of the decree and its significance for the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
