Caf茅 Historique
We're back with a new season of great history talks and fun times at Hermann’s Jazz Club! Reflecting on our 10-year anniversary, our theme this season is: “Why History Matters.” Our UVic scholars will share what they know about the strange and wonderful history of things that we often take for granted. This season we will run on the first Wednesday of each month.
Hermann’s Jazz Club – 753 View Street
Doors: 5:30 pm Start time: 7:00 pm

Contrary to common belief in the West, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine did not begin with the full-scale invasion in 2022. The annexation of the Crimea and the fighting in the Donbas started in 2014. A full decade of warfare in the heart of Europe has transformed both Ukrainian and Russian societies, as well as the global security landscape. A longer perspective on the war offers a clearer understanding of when and how peace may be possible.
