Distance and emotion: Ukrainian historians in war times

February 2024 marks a sad anniversary: We are two years into the
full-scale Russian war against Ukraine. Documenting this war has
been a critical issue since the beginning. In our latest podcast
episode, we talked to Sofia Dyak, who works and lives in Lviv,
about the consequences for historians: Where and how can Ukrainian
historians currently make a meaningful contribution collecting
testimonies about everyday life in times of occupation and armed
conflict? How is it possible for them to separate between academic
distance and emotional involvement? And to what kind of post-war
justice can historians contribute in Ukraine while the war is still
unfolding?
