The Petrach Program

The Petrach Program on Ukraine specializes in researching contemporary Ukrainian politics, society, and culture. It was created in the mid-1990’s with the Petrach Endowment for Ukrainian Studies and experienced tremendous growth with the creation of the Elliott School Fund for Scholars Affected by the War in Ukraine, launched in Spring 2022 as an answer to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Today, IERES offers multiple opportunities for research on Ukraine and for Ukrainian scholars to study contemporary Ukraine and its place on the international scene.
