On April 16-17, the international workshop “War and the historian's view. How life during a disaster shapes our understanding of the past” was held in Dnipro. Its purpose was to bring together historians and anthropologists to discuss the impact of the experience of war on us as professionals, our professional community, and our understanding of the past. After all, the modern Russian-Ukrainian war has become the largest conflict in Europe since the end of World War II, and Ukrainian researchers have found themselves in different roles – soldiers on the front lines, bystanders, and refugees. However, regardless of the specific role, experiencing and observing war affects researchers, particularly historians, as professionals.

On March 16, as part of the “Saturday Historian” project, which was initiated by the historian and textbook author Vitaly Dribnytsia on his YouTube channel “VOX VERITATIS”, an online meeting with Dr. Igor Shchupak took place. The topic of conversation was the memory of World War II and the modern Russian-Ukrainian war.
During the online event, historians talked about the distorted memory of the war and the quasi-religion “The Great Patriotic War”; about history textbooks and the “Ukrainian vision” of world history in them; about why the current Russian-Ukrainian war is part of the Third World War. The speakers and educational projects of “Tkuma” Institute were not overlooked, in particular, the international interreligious seminar “Ark” for Ukrainian, Polish, Jewish and Crimean Tatar youth.
“I didn't have time to say everything in the dialogue with Vitaly, but I will add the most important thing: the study and teaching of history is possible for me not only thanks to archives and expeditions, but also thanks to cooperation with my fellow scientists and a wonderful team of like-minded people – co-authors of history textbooks at “Orion” Publishing House and other colleagues and friends,” emphasized Dr. Shchupak.
The video recording of the broadcast of the program you can watch by the link.

On January 23-25, “Tkuma” Institute, with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, held an All-Ukrainian scientific and practical seminar for history teachers in Lviv, dedicated to the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The lessons of World War II help to understand the essence of Russia's current aggression against Ukraine; and the “classic” example of genocide – the Holocaust – provides a methodological basis for understanding the modern genocide against the Ukrainian people.
