Presentation at Friendly House by Chia Yin Hsu. She provides a picture of the relations between Russia and Ukraine from the Soviet to the post-Soviet era.

Her research focuses on Russian and Soviet views of ethnicity and nationality, and on the cultural history of money from the late Imperial to the early Soviet era.
