The example of Belarus&#8221; will take place at the National Archives of Estonia  in Tartu . The event will discuss, using the example of Belarus, how historical writing is shaped in an undemocratic country. The seminar is open to history teachers, students, historians, and anyone interested in history. All discussions will be held in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first part of the seminar will offer a quick overview of the history of Belarus. The focus will be on examining which facts and approaches have been declared taboo and removed from history textbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second part of the seminar, the discussion will center on why neutral, fact-based historical analysis is considered so dangerous in undemocratic regimes that it can even lead to imprisonment. The exploration will include the goals behind turning history education into a tool of political propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13.30 Greetings from Priit Pirsko, National Archivist and <a href=\"https:\/\/revivalbelarus.org\/en\/team.html\">Alina Kouchyk<\/a>, United Transitional Cabinet Representative for National Revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sviatlana Tsikhanovskaya will also participate in the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panel I \u2014 13:30\u201315:00<br>Moderator: Karsten Br\u00fcggemann<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Teaching and learning post-1991 history in Belarusian schools&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etis.ee\/CV\/Anastasiya_Fiadotava\/eng\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.etis.ee\/CV\/Anastasiya_Fiadotava\/eng\/\">Anastasiya Fiadotava, PhD, Senior Researcher at the Estonian Literary Museum<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cPlacing Belarus in the European historical context: a Belarusian perspective\u201d  <a href=\"https:\/\/europeanleadershipnetwork.org\/person\/katia-glod\/\">Katia Glod, Russia-West Policy Fellow at the European Leadership Network, London<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cHow does the current political regime in Belarus treat the 1918 independence proclamation?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/independent.academia.edu\/LizavetaKasmach\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/independent.academia.edu\/LizavetaKasmach\">Lizaveta Kasmach, PhD, historian, indipendent researcher and author<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee Break \u2014 15:00\u201315:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panel II \u2014 15:30\u201317:00<br>Moderator: Indrek Tarand<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cHow the Soviet period is presented in textbooks and why\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ehu.lt\/staff\/iryna-ramanava\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.ehu.lt\/staff\/iryna-ramanava\/\">Iryna Ramanava, PhD, professor at the European Humanities University, Vilnius<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cMemory politics in Belarus-Russia relations\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiia.fi\/en\/expert\/ryhor-nizhnikau\">Ryhor Nizhnikau, PhD, Senior Research Fellow at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWar, Authoritarianism &amp; Technology\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herder-institut.de\/en\/profiles\/tatsiana-astrouskaya\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.herder-institut.de\/en\/profiles\/tatsiana-astrouskaya\/\">Tatsiana Astrouskaya, PhD, researcher at the Herder Institute for Historical Research on East Central Europe, Marburg<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The seminar day will take place at the Noora building of the National Archives (Nooruse 3, Tartu).
