LECTURE-DISCUSSION WITH HEORHII KOVALENKO

Mobilisation as asceticism. Victory as an over-effort

Kyiv, 10 Dobrovolchykh batalyoniv str.

OFFLINE

During the war, one of the most discussed and controversial topics is mobilisation. And our main dream and goal is Victory. But do we ever think about what meanings these words originally had and what meanings we fill them with today? The mentor of this lecture-discussion offers a view of “mobilisation” and “victory” as concepts with unobvious semantic meanings, and considers the Christian ascetic tradition as a practice that helps people and countries in times of war.
