Oleh Kotsyuba, graduate student in the department and the Editor of the Web Platform of the Ukrainian intellectual journal “Krytyka” is pleased do announce the official launch of the new platform on www.krytyka.com.

The new platform is a state of the art forum for high quality analysis and inquiry on issues concerning Ukraine and the Eastern and Central European region, relations with Poland and Russia, on questions of common past with ethnic and religious groups on the territory of Ukraine, and developments in literature, art, culture, and politics.

The new web platform features blogs by prominent international scholars and experts in the above fields, audio and video podcasts, literary criticism and essays, numerous book reviews, and much more.

Along with the new platform, an entirely new product - “Critical Solutions” - was launched. For the first time in Ukraine, it works in the genre of solution journalism: on the foundation of Krytyka’s academic and semi-academic publications, offering alternative approaches and solutions for Ukrainian and regional affairs.
