On Friday, May 2, St. Olaf students joined Professor Dossi for the premier of “Sickle” at Novi Most / New Bridge Theater in Minneapolis. Abbey Fenbert’s “Sickle” tells the story of four women as they struggle to survive the genocidal Soviet-engineered famine in Ukraine (Ukr. Holodomor, Rus. Golodomor) in the 1930s. The show is hauntingly beautiful and left a long-lasting impression on everyone.

The St. Olaf Russian Language and Area Studies department stands with Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian war. We also unequivocally condemn the genocidal policies of the Russian Federation in the occupied territories of Ukraine. Please support Ukraine at Stand with Ukraine Minnesota.
