The side effects of the humanization of society, which are currently evident in European countries through mass sympathy and romanticization of newly minted Russian dissidents fleeing from the Russian “Mordor” and settling in democratic European capitals, prompted our colleague, Tetyana Storozhko, to recall memories that have become somewhat faded over the years.
Tetyana shared her experience of countering Russian propaganda at an international event in an interview with our partners at Roma.UA.
“But the war not only disrupted my life and plans for it, it made me question the purpose of my life’s work. After decades of researching and teaching the history of genocide, working with the memories of the victims of those wartime events, I realize that we still haven’t even come close to understanding the horrors that these people went through.
Only by living day by day in a country where a full-scale war is unfolding, do you shudder at how much remains unseen, how much pain will never be described, how many experiences and stories will be lost between the lines of accepted narratives.”
