You are cordially invited to:

"The Fifth Annual Grigorenko Reading"

The Harriman Institute at Columbia University and the General Petro 
Grigorenko Foundation cosponsor the Annual Grigorenko Readings in honor 
of the late General Petro Grigorenko, one of the most prominent human 
rights activists of the former USSR.

The topic of this year's Reading is the 40th anniversary of the historic 
demonstration on Pushkin Square in Moscow on December 5, 1965. This 
demonstration is widely considered to be a birthday of the Soviet human 
rights movement.

-- Andrew Grigorenko (General Petro Grigorenko Foundation);
-- Mark von Hagen (Columbia University Ukrainian Studies Program; 
Harriman Institute);
-- Fr. Leonid Kishkovsky (Orthodox Church in America, Ex-President of 
National Council of Churches);
-- Pavel Litvinov (a leading figure of earlier years of the Human Rights 
Movement in USSR).
-- Special guest speaker Alexander S. Yesenin-Volpin (a leading figure 
of the Human Rights Movement in the USSR who coined the movement slogan: 
‘Respect your own laws’)

As always, the Reading is free and open to the public.
