These days, I am thinking a lot about Lviv in 1939

From the source: "Sofia Dyak, Director of the Center for Urban History in Lviv, explains how the Russian war against Ukraine has changed the life at the Institute and in the city.

Both Körber-Stiftung and the Center of Urban History in Lviv have jointly organized a couple of international roundtables and projects in the last years and continue to work together in these challenging times.

A beautifully restored early 20th Century building in the city of Lviv is home to the Centre for Urban History in East Central Europe.

Historian Sofia Dyak has been the Director of this place since 2010.

The war that started on 24 February has changed everything. In a video-call held some days after the beginning of the Russian invasion to Ukraine, Sofia Dyak explained how her life, the life at the institute and in the city as such have changed since then."

Abstract

From the source: "Sofia Dyak, Director of the Center for Urban History in Lviv, explains how the Russian war against Ukraine has changed the life at the Institute and in the city.

Both Körber-Stiftung and the Center of Urban History in Lviv have jointly organized a couple of international roundtables and projects in the last years and continue to work together in these challenging times.

A beautifully restored early 20th Century building in the city of Lviv is home to the Centre for Urban History in East Central Europe. Before 24 February 2022, the day that Russia invaded Ukraine and started a war against its neighbouring country, the Centre for Urban History was an intellectual and social hub. A place for everyone interested the urban past of Lviv as a city at the crossroads of Polish, Jewish, Ukrainian, Austro-Hungarian, German, Russian and Soviet histories.

Historian Sofia Dyak has been the Director of this place since 2010. Before 24 February, her life and the lives of her team were filled with thinking and writing about the history of Lviv, hosting and organizing seminars, lectures and public history initiatives, inventing and implementing digital projects such as Lviv Interactive and the Urban Media Archive a digital encyclopedia and a digital archive about the city and its past.

The war that started on 24 February has changed everything. In a video-call held some days after the beginning of the Russian invasion to Ukraine, Sofia Dyak explained how her life, the life at the institute and in the city as such have changed since then."
