What: Seminar “Will the West be able to stop Russia”

When: Friday, March 4, with 12: 00

Where: Online

More: Russia finally invaded Ukraine. This is an unprovoked aggressive war. The West warned Moscow that in the event of such an attack, extremely harsh economic sanctions would be imposed on Russia. And yet the containment didn't work. Vladimir Putin attacked. Now the threatening sanctions have come into force.

Along with this, there is a new commitment by the United States and other allies to supply the Ukrainians, courageously resisting this invasion, with additional weapons. Will all this be enough to preserve the independence of Ukraine? Are the US and its European NATO allies united in this effort? If yes, is that enough? Or will Russian aggression eventually take over? Please join American and international experts in discussing this unfolding crisis.

More: Evgeny Abramovich Baratynsky was born on March 2, 1800. Alexander Pushkin called him the best Russian elegiac poet. After a long period of oblivion, Baratynsky was adopted by Russian modernist poets, who considered him the supreme poet of thought. This "most daring and darkest poet of the nineteenth century", as Michael Wachtel called him, inspired Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandelstam, and later, according to the Nobel laureate himself, forced the young Joseph Brodsky "to take up writing more seriously."
