The 2024 Daniel Singer Prize

The 2024 Daniel Singer Prize of US$10K has been awarded to Taras Bilous, author of “The War in Ukraine, International Security, and the Left,” published in Commons No. 13 (Ukraine 2023) and by New Politics in the United States. Bilous is a historian-journalist, an activist in Social Movement, and has served in the Ukrainian armed forces since the Russian invasion.

Two runners-up have also received prizes of US$5K each: Olena Lyubchenko for “On the Frontier of Whiteness? Expropriation, War and Social Reproduction in Ukraine,” published in LeftEast; and Volodymyr Ishchenko for “Ukrainian Voices,” published in New Left Review No. 138.

All three authors will speak at a September 1, 2024, panel at the Socialism Conference in Chicago, titled “Between Two Fires: Left Perspectives on the War on Ukraine.”

The Daniel Singer Foundation was formed in 2000 to further the socialist and democratic ideals of Daniel Singer through progressive journalism and activism, and earlier this year awarded a Prisoner of Conscience prize to Boris Kagarlitsky, a socialist author and activist recently sentenced by the Russian government to five years in prison for opposing the invasion of Ukraine.
