Shownotes Transcript

Larisa Didkovska is the Rector of the Ukrainian Free University (UFU) located in Munich, Germany. The university was originally established in Vienna, Austria, in 1921. This private graduate academic institution offers many students from Ukraine, Europe and elsewhere programs of study in the social sciences and the humanities primarily in the Ukrainian language. Noteworthy alumni of UFU include Volodymyr Kubiyovych (1900–1985), who was a famous Ukrainian geographer, cartographer, encyclopedist, politician, and statesman, and Leonid Rudnytzky (1935-2024), who was a Ukrainian-born American linguist and professor of German, Slavic and Ukrainian studies who taught at the University of Pennsylvania. https://ufu-muenchen.de/uk/
