Annual Ukrainian Famine Lecture – The Holodomor in the Context of Current Events

Speaker: Pulitzer Prize-winner Anne Applebaum

Location: George Ignatieff Theatre, 15 Devonshire Place, Toronto

Ms. Applebaum will be discussing how Stalin’s actions in the 1930s were shaped by his reaction to Ukrainian peasant rebellions during the civil war, as well as the Kremlin’s fear of Ukraine’s revolutionary potential.

Anne Applebaum writes on history and contemporary politics in Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and Russia. Her book, Gulag: A History, won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction in 2004. Her most recent book, Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944-1956, describes the imposition of Soviet totalitarianism in Central Europe after the Second World War. Iron Curtain won the Cundill Prize for Historical Literature, the Duke of Westminster Medal, and an Arthur Ross Silver Medal from the Council on Foreign Relations.

Anne Applebaum is a columnist for the Washington Post and Slate and directs the Transitions Forum at the Legatum Institute in London. Formerly a member of the Washington Post editorial board, she has also worked as the Foreign and Deputy Editor of the Spectator magazine in London, as the Political Editor of the Evening Standard, and as a columnist at the British newspapers the Daily and Sunday Telegraphs. From 1988-1991, she covered the collapse of communism as the Warsaw correspondent of the Economist magazine.
