Vasyl Stus: the last prophet and poet. What motivated him and how did it happen that a brilliant artist, a profound intellectual became a symbol of the nation? What do we, readers, sacrifice in return? How is Stus read now - and how should we actually read him? What are the keys to understanding his work, and what remains on the pages of memoirs and scientific monographs that few people have read? How to tell schoolchildren about Stus so that they return to re-reading his texts in adulthood? Oleksiy Sinchenko is looking for answers to these and other questions. The lecture will be delivered by Oleksiy Sinchenko, Associate Professor of the Department of Ukrainian Literature and Comparative Studies at B. Grinchenko Kyiv University
