Annual Seminar for History Teachers

  • Presentation of the project "Bykivnia, Babyn Yar, Bucha - Between the massacre and memory about it".

    Today, it is important not only to compare the crimes of the three dictatorial regimes, but also to explain their nature, under what circumstances there is a real possibility of mass murder and its justification. This project shows that it is possible and worthwhile to compare the two totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century without diminishing the memory of either of them, and that it is also worth analysing Ruscism in the context of communism and Nazism.
