Open lecture at the Drahomanov Ukrainian State University
On 22 April 2025, the Head of the UCHS, Anatolii Podolskyi, Ph.D. gave a guest lecture for students and colleagues from the Faculty of History of the Drahomanov Ukrainian State University.
A. Podolskyi addressed the important topic of Studying the History of the Holocaust during the Russian War against Ukraine. The lecture explored totalitarian regimes past and present, their methods and mechanisms of enforcement, memory policies, and places of memorialisation. Many difficult and timely issues were discussed, leaving a profound impact. The students were highly engaged and eager to converse with the lecturer. The session was truly informative, lively, and emotional-it left a lasting impression and, we hope, inspired the students. We sincerely thank Dr Podolskyi and look forward to welcoming him back.
