Ucrainica

On this site you will find information about Ukrainian culture, language and studies presented with a United Kingdom audience in mind.

The main focus of the Culture section is a calendar of cultural events in the UK which have a Ukrainian connection. The Language section is aimed at existing and potential learners of the Ukrainian language and others with an interest in Ukrainian. The Studies section contains information on Ukraine-related studies at UK universities and associated events.

In addition, the Library section gives details of selected English-language books relating to Ukraine, and basic information about the country can be found in the Ukraine section. Occasionally we also draw attention below to items which we hope you will find interesting.
