Anton Drobovych, Director of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, 'How Does Memory Become Poison? An Overview of Political Irresponsibility with Far-Reaching Consequences'
While the politics of memory and the way through which some versions and interpretations of history become prioritised in official political discourses have engaged a broad range of actors in the past, it is in the most traumatic moments of history such as today in Ukraine that they are particularly in flux, with old sites of memory acquiring new layers of meaning and new ones emerging from the sites of war and destruction.
