18 October 2024
A lecture by Dr. Andriy Kohut, Director of the Sectoral State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine
Dr. Andriy Kohut is a Director of the Sectoral State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine. The Archive stores the most extensive collection of declassified KGB files. He received his Ph.D. in History from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. He had to suspend his 2021-2022 Fulbright Fellowship at Stanford University at the beginning of March 2022 because of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. His recent articles have focused on the Soviet deportation operation "West" ("Запад"), postal censorship by the KGB, and clandestine espionage on foreign diplomats in Soviet Ukraine. His academic and professional interests cover various topics related to Soviet deportations, communist secret services history, memory politics, and cultural diplomacy.
Join us for his public lecture, "Postal rats, Soviet agents and special operations: KGB archives on the Holodomor."
