Event information

There is a lot of misinformation about Eastern Europe in the West. All the news about Ukraine and Chechnya could be confusing, and we want to help you separate facts from propaganda.

In our storytelling event, a group of Chechen and Ukrainian activists will bring you into the most important part of our common history of genocide and survival in Josef Stalin’s time, the horrendous Russian-Chechen wars and the Russian-Ukranian conflict, and, finely, into Europe, where you would see how Chechen and Ukrainian communities surviving away from their homelands.

You will find out why Chechen communities are invisible in Europe, why many Chechen people couldn’t open their faces, why we hear more about white Christian Ukrainians, and what the media portrays wrong about Chechens in Ukraine.
It is a story-telling event where the personal stories will help you find out a little more about your neighbours, the world around you and the meaning of freedom.
There will be also a Q&A session.
