The Russian Federation’s military aggression against Ukraine on 24 February is a deliberate violation of the Ukrainian nation’s right to exist and freely determine its future. Massacres, rapes and torture are the means of warfare by the Russian army, which the Ukrainian people are resisting heroically.
If successful, this invasion would also mean for the Ukrainian people an ideological and cultural bringing to heel, the eradication of any space for free thought, the crushing of basic democratic freedoms of expression and association.
Medusa, an independent publishing house in Kyiv, has for several years developed a catalogue in which a free, critical and emancipatory thought flourished. Such a catalogue is unbearable for the Kremlin masters. Medusa, like all other Ukrainian publishers, is currently in serious danger.
Syllepse is committed to supporting the Ukrainian people by publishing several books. This commitment will continue and deepen with the support to Ukrainian publishing.
In this context, Medusa (Kyiv) and Syllepse (Paris) have decided to build a partnership of solidarity and assistance.
From now on, the books of Medusa in Ukrainian language will be available and sold by Syllepse on its website https://www.syllepse.net.
Thus, we want to allow everyone to support the Medusa by purchasing one or more of its books, the unit price of which is 5 euros (pdf format). The proceeds from the sale of these books will be donated in full to Medusa.
