The Memorial Society of Ukraine undertook a multi-year project to study resistance to Soviet rule in the republic during the 1920s and early 1930s. Scholars conducted research on this topic in oblast state and branch archives of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in 18 Ukrainian regions. They examined the contents of nearly 1,500 archival dossiers in over 350 collections and compiled nearly 70,000 digitized archival documents. These formed the basis for a ground-breaking exhibition and publication prepared between 2008 and 2010 called Narodna viina (The People’s War).
Roman Krutsyk, the head of the Kyiv Memorial Society, will discuss the process of assembling these archival materials, and the scope of the opposition that they reveal. As well, he will deal with the question of how the resistance movement was linked to the decision to impose the artificial Famine of 1932–33 in Ukraine.
