Milana Sribniak

This project aims to analyze comprehensively the repatriation process of Ukrainian prisoners of war after WWI from the territory of the former Austro-Hungarian empire. Milana Sribniak focuses on evacuation routes, diplomatic activity and humanitarian aid to POWs (from Ukrainian embassies, military and sanitary missions, and the Red Cross), as well as the treaties and decrees that determined the repatriation. The project also delves into the context of the rapid geopolitical transformations, changes in borders and political regimes of that time that impacted full-scale repatriation, as well as providing a collective portrait of Ukrainian POWs in Austrian camps.
