One element of this attachment is an embrace of the national language at both the symbolic and communicative levels. Not only did Ukrainians come to love their language more than before, but they also started to speak it more often in their everyday lives. Or so they say.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE SPEAKER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Volodymyr Kulyk<\/strong> is Head Research Fellow at the Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the\u00a0<i>Financial Times\u00a0<\/i>and the foremost journalist covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia&#8217;s war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier.<\/p>\n<p>This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through Miller&#8217;s personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters,\u00a0<i>The War Came To Us\u00a0<\/i>takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraine&#8217;s modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine&#8217;s peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin&#8217;s warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring,\u00a0<i>The War Came To Us\u00a0<\/i>is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people &#8211; and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>ABOUT THE SPEAKER<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Christopher Miller<\/strong> is a writer and journalist based in Kyiv, Ukraine and Brooklyn, New York.

Russia slid back into authoritarianism and imperialism, while Ukraine consolidated a competitive political system and pro-European identity. As Ukraine built a democratic nation-state, Russia refused to accept it and came to see it as an \u201canti-Russia\u201d project. After political pressure and economic levers proved ineffective and even counterproductive, Putin went to war to force Ukraine back into the fold of the \u201cRussian world.\u201d Ukraine resisted, determined to pursue European integration as a sovereign state. These irreconcilable goals, rather than geopolitical wrangling between Russia and the West over NATO expansion, are \u2013 the authors argue \u2013 essential to understanding Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>ABOUT THE SPEAKER<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Oxana Shevel<\/strong> is an Associate Professor of comparative politic at Department of Political Science at Tufts University and Director of Tufts International Relations program.
