NEW YORK – In mid-September, several of the world’s most knowledgeable scholars of Ukrainian history, hailing from the United States, Canada and Ukraine, will gather in New York City to present their research at a conference titled “Commemorating the Ukrainian National Republic and Its Legacy.”

The landmark conference will bring together nearly two dozen experts to examine the scope and ultimate meaning of the Ukrainian National Republic (UNR) – the predecessor of the modern Ukrainian state – and the legacy it engendered.
