The Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes, The Office of the Government of the Czech Republic, the Platform of European Memory and Conscience and the XXth Century Memorial Museum are organizing a conference entitled Russia’s Hybrid War Against the Democratic World. A Challenge for European Remembrance Policy.
As of 1 October 2022, the highest body of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes approved a new organizational structure with six votes from the seven-member Council of the Institute and a new organizational structure within which the reorganization took place, in full compliance with the Labour Code.
The date 23 August 2022 marks 83 years since the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact – an agreement that pave the way for the tragedies of the Second World War. In 2008 this day was proclaimed to be the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism. This day should preserve the memory of the victims of mass deportations and exterminations. We asked our historian, Petr Blažek, about the history of the Remembrance Day and the events behind it.
