Here's a story about a Ukrainian university in exile https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/luhansk-taras-shevchenko-national-university-starts-from-scratch-in-exile
Resurrecting the thread. Ukraine has a sprawling education system. Higher ed goes through a reform right now, supposedly promoting university authonomy among other nice things. We'll see. "University in exile" article tells more about sad reality of a hot war in Europe that no one seem to pay attention anymore (partly because Putin's adventure in Syria is currently so much bloodier). On this note, here's an original Ukrainian university in exile, Ukrainian Free University Munich (Germany): Головна » Ukrainische Freie Universität .
Unfortunate to see so many being uprooted in Eastern Ukraine and this goes to show how much of what many perceive to be "everyday life" types of things become "casualties" of conflicts. I would be very interested to read about any institutions in Crimea and how they may have been affected by the annexation (or "liberation" in the minds of many of the pro-Russia or ethnic Russians living on the peninsula). I have a friend from Ukraine who talked about her educational experiences during university in her country. She emphasized the instructors' willingness to allow multiple viewpoints and to provide platforms for dissenting speech and for viewpoints that would go against established norms. It is unfortunate that such platforms are being dismantled in different ways in different parts of the war (physical conflict in parts of Eastern Europe, social pressures in the West).
