I am aware that many had other expectations and aspirations for the Summit. But I am here to tell a different story. Human rights issues and media freedom issues did not sidetrack the Summit. Indeed, the Summit was an endorsement of and a clear sign for OSCE Institutions such as my Office to redouble their efforts to engage with and assist the participating States in meeting their OSCE commitments. Consider, if you will, Paragraph 5 of the Astana Commemorative Declaration, which, in part, states, “We stress the importance of the work carried out by the OSCE Secretariat, High Commissioner on National Minorities, Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights and [the] Representative on Freedom of the Media, as well as the OSCE field operations, in accordance with their respective mandates, in assisting participating States with implementing their OSCE commitments.” To those of us who work in the media-freedom field of the human dimension, the Astana Summit is a landmark event. Why? Because the Summit participants, the participating States, in their tense negotiations that came down to the final hours, recommitted their nations to the fundamental principles that guide this Office.

  • Long-Distance Nationalism: Ukrainian Monuments and Historical Memory in Multicultural Canada
    CHAPTER 4 Long-Distance Nationalism: Ukrainian Monuments and Historical Memory in Multicultural Canada Per A. Rudling INTRODUCTION In October 2017, a political controversy erupted, as the Russian embassy in Ottawa posted a number of images on its twitter account, purporting to depict ‘Nazi memorials’ in Canada. Three images of memorials to Waffen-SS veterans, a prominent Nazi collaborator, and ultranationalist insurgents were accompanied by the comment ‘There are monuments to Nazi collaborators in Canada and nobody is doing anything about it’. The message was followed by the hash tags ‘#NeverForget #Holocaust #WorldWar2’ (‘Russia in Canada’ 2017) (Fig. 4.1). Three years earlier, Russia had invaded Ukraine and annexed parts of its territory, an action not seen in Europe since World War II. The invasion led to a sharp dete- rioration of Russia’s relations to the West, including Canada, the govern- ments of which strongly and publicly denounced the aggression. The diplomatic row of 2017 should be seen in the context of this conflict. P. A. Rudling (*) Lund University, Lund, Sweden e-mail: [email protected] © The Author(s) 2020 95 S.
