2. Russian Studies: Ukrainian Perspective

NaUKMA is also preparing a new English-taught offer in Russian Studies: Ukrainian Perspective within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Social Technologies. This course block is intended for international students interested in studying Russia, its ideology, politics, and regional role through Ukrainian academic expertise and experience. NaUKMA's own research environment already addresses topics such as Russian military aggression, information warfare, and the ideology of the "Russian world," which makes this perspective academically grounded and particularly relevant for students of international relations, political science, regional studies, history, and security studies.
