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,

the Soviet human rights movement.

-- 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.
