Women’s Memory of the Gulag and the Future of Russia’s Memorial

Please note that all guests must register at the link above to receive access to the Zoom webinar.

Memorial, Russia’s primary guardian of historical memory of the Soviet political repressions and a preeminent human rights defender, finds itself under growing pressure and harassment from the authorities. Many fear that the pandemic-related shift online of its beloved annual Return of the Names commemoration will translate into permanent reality. At this event, we will talk about the latest developments at Memorial, see photos from its new exhibit on women at the gulag, hear the stories behind them, and discuss Memorial’s future.

This event will be presented in Russian and English with simultaneous translation.
