Ukraine Statement: Societas Celto-Slavica
Societas Celto-Slavica is an academic organisation uniting scholars of Celtic Studies in Celtic-speaking and other countries and Celticists in the Slavic countries, including Ukraine and Russia. We are deeply concerned at the plight of the people of Ukraine and our academic colleagues.
We are alarmed at the continuing loss of life, the destruction of the economic and cultural fabric of Ukrainian society, and the damage to scholarly activity and international academic and research collaboration. We urge the Russian Federation to immediately cease military operations in Ukraine and find a peaceful solution to the unfolding humanitarian crisis.
Societas Celto-Slavica was founded in 2004 at the meeting held at the Institute for Linguistic Research, Moscow, with the aim of fostering and developing scientific collaboration between students and scholars of Celtic in Celtic-speaking and Slavic countries.
The meeting was chaired by the late Prof. Victor Kalygin, and attended by Prof. Séamus Mac Mathúna, the President of the Societas, and Prof. Tatyana Mikhailova, its Joint President, among others.
Including its inaugural colloquium at Ulster University in Coleraine in June 2005, the Societas has held ten colloquia so far. The most recent meeting was convened at the University of Leipzig, Germany, 27–29 October 2022.
