The Use and Abuse of History in Conflicts: The War against Ukraine in Focus
9.12.2022 klo 14:00 - klo 16:00 Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (Hiroshimastrasse 17, Berlin)
--------------------------------------------
With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the use of history as a justification for war and as part of enemy images and war propaganda is once again a European reality. Putin’s Russia justifies its actions with symbols and narratives anchored in history, as well as demonizing Ukrainians with strongly loaded accusations. Ukraine and the Western countries that support it also make use of historical concepts, images of enemies and symbolism.
Welcome to a panel discussion in Berlin organised by Historians without Borders and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung to reflect on how historical knowledge, symbols and narratives have been used in the ongoing war in Europe. In addition, it will be discussed how historians could better identify and prevent the deliberate misrepresentation of historical information and the use of distorted information in the context of conflicts. How and when can we hope to have Russia conducting a critical review of its history? What can historians do to promote such a process?
The discussion will be held in English.
Note! The event is not streamed but there will be recording available online after the event.
