Jean Monnet Chair at the Willy Brandt Centre for the German and European Studies University of Wrocław invites to a guest lecture by dr. Nikita Lomakin (Memorial & University of Bremen) - Memorial: The past and the future.
Memorial (Russian: Мемориал) is an international human rights organisation, founded in Russia during the fall of the Soviet Union to study and examine the human rights violations and other crimes committed under Joseph Stalin's reign. Prior to its dissolution in Russia, it consisted of two separate legal entities, Memorial International, whose purpose was the recording of the crimes against humanity committed in the Soviet Union, particularly during the Stalinist era, and the Memorial Human Rights Centre, which focused on the protection of human rights, especially in conflict zones in and around modern Russia. The organisation was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2022.

Before, dr Lomakin worked at Memorial as a head of archive digitalisation program, he was also a visitng scholar at the University of Jena and at the Humbolt University in Berlin.
