ABOUT DЇaspoRa

Amid the greatest challenge that Ukraine has faced in its recent history, the job of highlighting Ukrainian voices worldwide has never been more important. That is what motivated the Edinburgh University Ukrainian Society to create Dïaspora. As the first student-run Ukrainian journal in the UK, we have a unique worldview. 

Dïaspora is more than a dry academic publication, however. We incorporate stories, poems, and even comedic tales to show the world the mosaic of emotions, aspirations, and dreams which are held by the Ukrainian diaspora. 

Our first issue, published in September 2025, was widely acclaimed across Scotland and the UK. We are proud to say that it made its way through the halls of the Scottish Parliament, the classrooms of many universities, and the hands of hundreds of students. 

Simply put, Dïaspora exists to provide a space for students and scholars of Ukraine to make their contribution to the world and celebrate the continuing triumph of the Ukrainian people and Ukrainian culture over Russian aggression.
