Since academics in the Republic of Belarus are currently suffering from repression and are fighting for democratic freedom, the ZZF decided to support their fellow historians and announced three Visiting Fellowships for Belarusian scholars. Valery Bułhakaŭ, Anton Liavitski and Iryna Ramanava will be coming to Potsdam this summer for two months each and be part of the international legacies of communism team. They will be invited to pursue their individual research and take part in the academic life at the ZZF.

Keine andere Periode der russischen Geschichte zog derartig grundlegende Veränderungen in Europa und der Welt nach sich wie die Zeit der Perestroika in den Jahren 1985-1991. Trotz der Bedeutung der Reformjahre unter Führung des letzten Generalsekretärs der KPdSU Michail Gorbatschows steht die historische Erforschung dieser Periode in vielen Bereichen noch am Anfang.

After more than four weeks in Ukraine, I feel tired but satisfied with what I have managed to do despite COVID-19. Surprisingly, through the Corona-lens I have discovered a lot about my own country. I was able to observe how people in different parts of the world react to the current situation. Furthermore, I have learnt how to navigate through such unusual circumstances. I have spent most of my time in Kyiv, plus five days in Odesa and three days both in Dnipro and in Lviv.
