Russia’s war on Ukraine will determine if colonisation by force belongs to the past or the future. If Russia wins, we must say farewell to Kundera’s idea of building maximum diversity in minimum space.
Milan Kundera passed away and invites us, again, to rethink his legacy.
His famous essay, “The Tragedy of Central Europe” is a frequent topic of reflection for us today. As a Ukrainian philosopher, I think it is also a topic of thinking in light of the Russian genocidal war against Ukraine.
