As part of the professional seminar of the Scientific Council of our Institute, we would like to invite you to a lecture in English, which will take place on Tuesday 11 March 2025 from 13.00 in the meeting of the SAS at Klemensova 19 in Bratislava. Memory of the Soviet Past Through the Lens of the Present

Annotation of the lecture: My Research Examines How Those Who Came of Age During Late Socialism in the Soviet Union Reimagine This Past From From Today's Persective. Based on Fieldwork in Georgia (Summer 2023), Including Group and Individual Interviews, I Found That Nostalgia for Certain Aspects of Soviet Life, Suchi AS Social Security, Cultural Access, and Education, Stems Largly from Absence In Today's reality. Howver, These Positive Recolleys Are Outweighed by the Significance of National Independence and Religious Freedom, which Seen Seen Restricted Under The Soviet Regime. While Socialism Is Now Easier To Critique, It Is Also Reconsidered by Them In Contrast To the Challenges of the Present. This Dynamic Evaluation Reflects Both Personal Memories and Shifting Societal Values, Revealing and Complex Relationship Betheen Past and Present. href = "https://us06Web.zoom.us/j/859888863483?pwd=CndhjtdyDAVCZPEVCZPEB7meubsagfrz05c.1"> https: https: //US06Web.zoom.us/j/859888863483?pwd=cndhjtdydavczpeb7meubsagfrz05c.1
