year the J.B.Rudnyckyj Distinguished Lecture brings to Winnipeg
an internationally acknowledged scholar to speak on a topic of interest
to those pursuing Eastern European and/or Slavic Studies. The lecture
is jointly sponsored by the Department
of German & Slavic Studies, the
Elizabeth Dafoe Library Slavic Collection and the University
of Manitoba Archives and Special Collections. It is funded by an
endowment established by J.B. Rudnyckyj.
