The Basic Law and the Army: How Ukrainian Constitutional Projects Imagined the Army

Friends, June 28 is approaching – Constitution Day of Ukraine

We invite you to the lecture “The Basic Law and the Army: How Ukrainian Constitutional Projects Imagined the Army” by Armen Tonoyan, a third-year graduate student and lecturer at the Department of History of the Faculty of Sociology and Law of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

Why did we choose such a topic?

This is a good opportunity to hear once again how important a powerful, combat-ready, motivated army is for building Ukrainian statehood, for protecting our independence. And to thank our military for their protection and all the opportunities that we have thanks to them.

What we will learn at the lecture:

• about the role of the army in Pylyp Orlyk’s “Constitution”;
• about what H. Andruzky, M. Drahomanov, M. Hrushevsky and M. Mikhnovsky proposed in their constitutional projects;
• about the view of the army in the constitutions of the era of the Ukrainian National Democratic Revolution;
• about the differences between Soviet constitutions and émigré projects;
• about how the Constitution of independent Ukraine views the army.

We are waiting for you! It will be interesting!
