The very term transformation implies both overcoming the legacy of Communism, and co-existence of it’s elements with newly born basics of an open, democratic society. History and historical memory could serve as the most significant example of this. In the second half of the 1980s the Ukrainian history was turned into a battlefield between the national-democratic movement and the Communist nomenklatura. The democratic intelligentsia, public activists and politicians from the national-democratic camp have concentrated their efforts on revelations of the crimes of totalitarianism doing their best to discredit the Communist regime. The social and political meaning of that Soviet past has been actualized in the present: it has been used quite straightforwardly in political infighting. In the 1990s public discussions over the ‘totalitarian past’ were greatly influenced by the current political agenda, i.e. with the struggle between ‘left’ and ‘right’, between communists and their allies from one side, and nationalists from another. Nationalists and national-democrats demanded a ‘trial over Communism’, a ‘new Nuremberg’, and lustrations. However, the society at whole was not responsive to these appeals mostly due to a bitter economic and social crisis which lasted for a decade. Ukraine, like the majority of other post-Soviet states did not pass through so called ‘de-Communization’. Nevertheless, due to the continuous struggle over historical memory, the Soviet period of the Ukrainian past has been actualized in public consciousness and has become one of the most controversial parts of the state politics of memory and of public debates. In the course of re-evaluating the Soviet past (the last term was equated to the totalitarianism) a set of topics of paramount significance was finalized: the Ukrainian revolution of 1917 – 1921, Stalinism in Ukraine (1920s – beginning of 1950s, with heavy emphasis on repressions, purges and assimilation), Great Famine of 1932-1933, nationalist movement of 1930s – 1950s (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists), the history of the nationalist guerilla of 1940s – 50s (Ukrainian Insurgent Army, Ukrainian acronym - UPA), the intellectual dissent of 1950s – 70s. The debates of these themes were often interpreted in exclusively national terms and were supported by institutions of state leadership, nationally inclined intellectuals and historians (as well as their opponents) in order to create an essentialized, heroic or victimized historical image of the national self. This image served different legitimizing and political aims of the state, its leadership and those who created that images and symbols in order to strengthen their own position in the post-Soviet society. For this reason the anti-Soviet struggle of nationalist Ukrainian movement in the 1940s- 1950s is one of the most dominant topics of the Soviet past, a fact, which is mirrored 10 Introduction also in the field of interest of associations, institutes or web sites presented in that Vademecum. It is widely believed both by the majority of professional historians and the public in Ukraine that the ‘true’ interpretation and presentation of topics listed above will help society to liberate itself from the legacy of totalitarianism that in turn will lead to the better future. According to this conventional wisdom, the ‘true’ history can be found in the archival documents, particularly in those that were classified for decades for ideological reasons. For a decade the Ukrainian archives have been overcrowded with professional researchers, amateurs, journalists, private persons. They were accompanied by a number of foreign scholars. There were also particular practical reasons for private persons: victims of political repressions and their relatives obtained the right to access related files. In the end of 1990s thousands of Ostarbeiter looked for their personal files to prove their status since Germany has started to pay compensation to them. As a result the archives were pressed to exercise more openness and sensitivity to the public demand. A number of access limitations were abolished, thousands of files declassified. Archives of enforcing agencies (Ministry of Interior, Security Service of Ukraine) were opened for researchers and interested public. However, new problems emerged: the majority of archives was (and still are) not equipped technically to meet growing demand in information, their database as a rule is organized in truly archaic manner, the access rules and regulations in many cases can be treated by the archival staff in a very arbitrary manner. Growing interest in the past, particularly in the ‘totalitarian period’, continuous discussions over ‘hot topics’ of Ukrainian history in the 1990s and beginning of 2000s have provoked an emergence of new institutions dealing with the past, particularly with the Soviet period. Public demand for ‘true history’ and for openness has led to establishment of non-governmental institutions: libraries, research centers (like Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies), societies (like Memorial), museums. Many of them have established themselves as resource and research centers. Recently (May, 2006), the Ukrainian Government following practices of neighboring countries in Easter Europe (Poland, Slovakia) has established the Institute of National Memory (INM). The Institute belongs to the structures of executive power, it is expected that the INM will promote the state (official) line in establishing and promoting the politics of memory. Due to the variety of different institutions and bodies dealing with contemporary history it will be useful to be informed about distinctions between them. State institutions (archives, libraries, research institutions) as a rule are not ideologically oriented/ preoccupied (with exceptions caused by possible personal inclinations of the staff). Public and private collections might be based on certain ideological conception. For instance, institutions, collections, WEB resources specialized

  • LETTER to G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS
    LETTER TO G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS We write to call for urgent action to address the global education emergency triggered by Covid-19. With over 1 billion children still out of school because of the lockdown, there is now a real and present danger that the public health crisis will create a COVID generation who lose out on schooling and whose opportunities are permanently damaged. While the more fortunate have had access to alternatives, the world’s poorest children have been locked out of learning, denied internet access, and with the loss of free school meals - once a lifeline for 300 million boys and girls – hunger has grown. An immediate concern, as we bring the lockdown to an end, is the fate of an estimated 30 million children who according to UNESCO may never return to school. For these, the world’s least advantaged children, education is often the only escape from poverty - a route that is in danger of closing. Many of these children are adolescent girls for whom being in school is the best defence against forced marriage and the best hope for a life of expanded opportunity. Many more are young children who risk being forced into exploitative and dangerous labour. And because education is linked to progress in virtually every area of human development – from child survival to maternal health, gender equality, job creation and inclusive economic growth – the education emergency will undermine the prospects for achieving all our 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and potentially set back progress on gender equity by years.

    WINTER/SPRING 2016 new exhibitions // 03 featured acquisition // 09 mam programs // 10 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2016 education + outreach // 11 art classes // 12 continuing exhibitions // 14 Out of the Box Art Auction // 16 DIRECTOR’S COMMENTS | Laura J. Millin MAM’s strategic focus areas — Artistic Innovation, Community Connection, and Organizational Excellence — are rooted in our mission and values and are interwoven into our funding goals. The vision that drives this inexorably forward is to generate creativity by presenting and commissioning challenging work, and bringing artists together with their audience. This spring brings an exciting multi-faceted project with exhibiting artist Holly Andres, made possible with the support of the Pleiades Foundation. Andres will travel from her current home 02 in Portland, OR, to her original home of Missoula for a week-long residency, creating a wide range of opportunities for her to interact with museum visitors and the University community. Andres will be presented at MAM with an opening reception, gallery talk, and a distinguished artist lecture co-sponsored by the University of Montana Jim and Jane Dew Visiting Artist Lecture Fund, and will visit with UM art classes. The residency will culminate with the commission of a one-of-a kind Missoula-oriented artwork that will become part of MAM’s Permanent Collection. MAM will have the opportunity to collect additional artwork from Andres’ exhibit with the collaboration and support of the Contemporary Collector’s Circle, MAM’s collection support group whose dues are devoted exclusively to acquisitions to the collection. Finally, by adding these artworks to the three Andres photographs and two video artworks already in the collection, MAM will circulate a traveling exhibit to expose the work to audiences across Montana through the Montana Art Gallery Directors Association.
