Save the date for the seminar “Shaping the Past – Decolonization and Memory Struggles in Russia”!
6 March – Stockholm, Sweden and Online
Organized by Historians without Borders in Finland, this event explores how history in and around Russia is shaped, contested, and reclaimed, focusing on decolonization, memory politics, and the agency of historians. Experts will discuss how state-driven memory policies influence public perceptions of the past and examine strategies to resist historical manipulation. Through two panel discussions, participants will explore the roles of borderlands and suppressed voices, as well as strategies for countering political distortions and defending independent research and public history.
Pre-registration for the event is required. The registration form for the event will be opened during February. Additional information on the programme and speakers as well as the registration form will be updated to this event page.
The event is a part of History in Exile: Dialogue on Russian Memory and History Politics in the Nordic and Baltic Countries, a project launched by Historians without Borders in Finland and funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The project focuses on dialogue with historians and history teachers in the Nordics and Baltics on Russian history and memory politics. EuroClio is a supporting partner to the project.
