Webinar “Babyn Yar and russian war against Ukraine”

insidethegatesHow will the priorities of Ukrainians’ historical memory change after the end of russian-Ukrainian war? Is reconsideration of Holodomor, Soviet repressions, World War II, the Holocaust, Revolution of Dignity possible? Which place can the modern war take among the events of recent Ukrainian history? These questions already concern many intellectuals, school and university teachers, and are the subject of discussions in media and scholar forums. The same complicated questions related to modern russian aggression against Ukraine were proposed to be discussed at the webinar for teachers in the context of Babyn Yar memorialization problem. This online webinar took place on August 29 and was initiated and organized by the Ukrainian Centre for Holocaust Studies and Institute of History of Ukraine at National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Here is a brief review of thoughts exchange during this webinar.
