This issue's special section explores the discursive gaps, tensions, and ruptures between Ukrainian and Russian narratives of national identity.
Featuring a special section on “Identity Clashes: Russian and Ukrainian Debates on Culture, History, and Politics” This issue's special section explores the discursive gaps, tensions, and ruptures between Ukrainian and Russian narratives of national identity. It gives the floor to Russian and Ukrainian authors with a view to enabling analytical comparisons between the dominant narratives in the two countries, including their cultural, historical, and political dimensions. This juxtaposition of Russian and Ukrainian insights is aimed at deepening our understanding of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

“This special section brings together Russian and Ukrainian alumni of the Kennan Institute’s fellowship programs to engage in scholarly dialogue on a wide variety of issues affecting both societies. This type of impartial academic discussion offers a unique opportunity to build bridges between the two societies at a time when such opportunities are becoming increasingly rare.”—Matt Rojansky, Director, Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, DC
