On March 4, at the Scientific Lyceum of International Relations of the University of Customs and Finance (Dnipro), an educational lesson “Modern war through the prism of history: can a historian predict the future?” was held. Dr. Igor Shchupak conducted an interactive lesson for high school students.
During the lesson, they talked about wars and genocides in history, about the problems of democracy and authoritarianism in history and in the 21st century, as well as about the lessons of the Holodomor, the Holocaust, and other genocides. About what one person can change – on the example of lawyer Rafael Lemkin, who in 1944 invented the term “genocide”. It was he who delivered a speech in 1953 in which he spoke of the destruction of the Ukrainian nation as a classic example of Soviet genocide. Attention was also paid to the discussion of wars in history and why the current Russian-Ukrainian war is taking on the features of the Third World War.
“I am sincerely grateful to Lyceum director Natalia Vlasova for the joy of communicating with wonderful, intelligent, interesting children,” said Dr. Shchupak. – I am grateful for the atmosphere of intellectual search and creativity at the Lyceum, created by Lyceum students, their parents and creative teachers.”
