Program

For three days, journalists will meet other knowledgeable mediators of information from different regions of the world in Innsbruck. In conversations with colleagues and other experts, visitors find out what is going on behind the scenes of the information on international events, which is often hastily and superficially conveyed, and can contribute.

Current social, political and cultural developments are the focus of the debates, from book presentations, exhibitions, doc-films and audio features. The Journalismusfest Innsbruck opens a window to the complex present in which we live.

Ukraine: “The Forging of a Nation”

Conversation

Yaroslav Hrytsak is considered one of the most influential Ukrainian historians and intellectuals. With his book “Ukraine – Biographie einer bedrängten Nation” (“Ukraine – The Forging of a Nation”) published in 2024 in English and German, he provides the first up-to-date comprehensive overview from a Ukrainian perspective. The book became a bestseller in Ukraine. “Подолати минуле: глобальна історія України” (2022). Hrytsak dissects the myths of Russian propaganda, while keeping a critical eye on Ukrainian legends and exaggerations. He embeds Ukrainian history and present into Europe’s history and their global links. Time and time again, the author also takes the public stage to share his political analyses.
