The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers from various fields of the humanities: philosophers, philologists, historians, art historians, and art historians. The interdisciplinary aspect became central in the Russian-European dialogue on memory. The reports were devoted to the events of the twentieth century and modern ways of understanding them: reception of heritage, the phenomenology of memory, visual representation of memory, indications of “memory dead ends”, “places of storage” of past human experience, as time of catastrophes and peaceful daily life.

A video recording of the conference will appear on our website in the near future.
