Upcoming Conference: Women’s Experience in the (Post)Socialist Bloc: Terror, Resistance, Memory

On March 28-29, 2025, Zukunft Memorial organises the Fifth Conference in memory of Arseny Roginsky (1946-2017), a historian, political prisoner, and one of the founders of Memorial. It will take place in Berlin at the conference hall of the Federal Foundation for the Study of the Communist Dictatorship in Germany (Bundesstiftung Aufarbeitung) and will be broadcast online. The conference will be translated into three languages: German, English and Russian.

Registration is mandatory, as it will help them monitor the occupancy of the conference room, and it will remind you about the beginning of the conference.

The conference will include panels on: “Women in the Soviet Gulag Camps and Exile: Experience and Memory”, “Resistance in the Socialist Bloc Through the Lens of Gender Relations”, “The Right Turn in Russia and Europe: Anti-Genderism”, “Fight Against LGBTQ+ Persons and New Colonial Policy”. And a roundtable on “Gender – the main enemy of the Rights?”
