	Polish Politics of Memory and Poetics of Unlived Future	Mon, 12.07.2021	Seminars and Colloquia	Justyna Tabaszewska Timothy Snyder		Polish Politics of Memory and Poetics of Unlived Future Mon, 12.07.2021 Speakers: Justyna Tabaszewska Timothy Snyder Series: Seminars and Colloquia Polish politics of memory has undergone significant change in the past several years, becoming more entrenched and preoccupied with projecting an image of Poland as the victim of successive historical catastrophes. At the same time, Polish politics relies increasingly more often on visions of happy “futures past” that are deeply rooted in Polish culture and builds social resentment by accusing subsequent social groups of squandering away chances for development. Therefore, it seems necessary to ask what are these versions of Polish alternate history embedded in Polish culture and in what way do they influence contemporary politics of memory? Read more

	Inside Tyranny: Belarus and the Power and Non-power of State Terror	Thu, 01.07.2021	Panels and Discussions	Marci Shore Nataliya Gumenyuk Timothy SnyderMaryia Rohava, Aliaksei Kazharski, Radosław Sikorski, Hanna Komar	Register here	Inside Tyranny: Belarus and the Power and Non-power of State Terror Thu, 01.07.2021 Speakers: Marci Shore Nataliya Gumenyuk Timothy SnyderMaryia Rohava, Aliaksei Kazharski, Radosław Sikorski, Hanna Komar Series: Panels and Discussions Immediately following the hijacking of the Ryanair flight and abduction of Roman Protasevich and Sofia Sapega on 23 May, IWM hosted a discussion posing the question of что делать? (What is to be done?) from the perspective of European Union states: The Hijack. Europe, Belarus, and the Abduction of Roman Protasevich. The following two discussions (the first in German, the second in English) shifted the focus from the European Union to the former Soviet space in an attempt to better understand what is happening inside Belarus itself. In what way is the currently showcased performative-confession-extracted-through-torture reminiscent of Stalinist times, and in what way is there something post-modern about it? What is the relationship between insecurities about masculinity and state terror? How does a “revolution with a woman’s face” open new possibilities for politics, for rebellion against tyranny?

	War in Ukraine and Universal Values	Fri, 11.03.2022	Panels and Discussions	Philipp Blom Serhii Plokhii Timothy Snyder		War in Ukraine and Universal Values Fri, 11.03.2022 Speakers: Philipp Blom Serhii Plokhii Timothy Snyder Series: Panels and Discussions On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, launching a full-scale war of aggression. This war is the product of imperialism rooted in historical fantasy, intended to deny Ukraine the fundamental right to exist. It is enabled by the Putin regime’s longstanding assault on the very notion of truth. While Ukrainians are left to defend their country, what is at stake goes far beyond the borders of Ukraine.
