International Conference: War Memory – Redefining Identity: The Impact of 2022 on Selected Regions
On 9 October 2026, the University of the National Education Commission, Kraków together with the research team History as an Instrument of the Contemporary International Conflicts, will host the international online conference War Memory – Redefining Identity: The Impact of 2022 on Selected Regions.
The conference will examine how Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has reshaped historical memory, national identity, political narratives, and security perceptions across different regions of Europe and its neighbourhood. Bringing together scholars and experts from several European countries, the programme addresses developments in the Baltic Sea region, Central and Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus, and the Western Balkans.
The conference will open with a keynote address by prof. Georgiy Kasianov, Weaponization of Memory, followed by four thematic panels exploring the relationship between war, memory, identity, political transformation, and geopolitics after 2022.
