We invite you to a special event in Chicago — the first presentation in the United States of the English-language edition of Mykola Mikhnovsky’s work “Independent Ukraine”, one of the most important texts of Ukrainian political thought.
Over a hundred years ago, Mikhnovsky formulated the idea of an independent Ukrainian state, which inspired generations of Ukrainians in their struggle for freedom. Today, as Ukraine continues to defend its independence, his words take on a new resonance.
Together with historian Roman Koval, public figure Olga Sidii, and Glory UA co-founder Maksym Kolyadenko, we will talk about Mikhnovsky’s historical legacy, modern warfare, military innovations, and the role of Ukrainian civil society in strengthening the state.
June 15, 2026 | 7 pm Ukrainian National Museum, Chicago Admission: $10
Join the conversation about the ideas that shape a nation and the actions that help Ukraine win today.
