The conference speeches and panel discussions were devoted to comprehension of the Ukrainian Sobornist’experience of struggle, as well as analyzing and forecasting of contemporary challenges, which threatens to it. These issues that are relevant to the Ukrainian state and society have become the subject of discussion during the final panel of the conference. Speakers dr. Serhii Kvit and dr. Yehor Vradii were thinking over the «Sobornist’» meaning in the area of historical memory and ways of presenting the history of Ukrainian lands, the temptation of national selfishness during the historical narrative creation, on the one hand, and the danger of stereotyped openly mythologized ideas about the past, created in the Soviet empire on the other. Dr. Yehor Vradii in his speech focused attention on the most popular discussions in Ukraine and abroad which are related to the tragic experience of the twentieth century, in particular the Holodomor in 1932 – 1933, the Holocaust, deportation of Crimean Tatars and other Crimean peoples. The importance of these terrible phenomena studying is extremely relevant now, because dehumanization technologies – as the first stage on the way to genocide, are used by several countries of the world and now in the 21st century.
