The Executive Board of the Czechoslovak Studies Association strongly condemns Russia’s brutal, unprovoked, and unjustifiable attack on its peaceful, democratic neighbor, Ukraine. As historians and scholars of other disciplines, we categorically denounce any attempt by President Putin or his defenders to excuse their actions by grossly misinterpreting, distorting, or inventing Russian and Ukrainian history. Our members are a diverse international community of scholars many of whom have worked with Russian and Ukrainian colleagues. We stand in solidarity with them, with the innocent people of Ukraine, and with the brave Russian opponents of the authoritarian Putin regime who are protesting this illegal act by their government.
