The groundwork for this war was laid by memory wars between Russia and its former satellites in the 2000s and 2010s. These memory wars were mainly focused on the legacy of WWII and crimes against humanity committed by the fascist, communist, and nationalist regimes and movements. Thus, the language of the Russian anti-Ukraine propaganda is based entirely on the Soviet myth of WWII, according to which all anti-Russian forces are Nazi allies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe dynamics of violence in the region seem to follow a vicious circle: genocides \u2013 memory wars \u2013 new genocides. Indeed, according to many observers, Russian atrocities on Ukraine\u2019s occupied territories seem to fall under the concept of genocide as defined in the 1948 UN Convention. Similar dynamics were also characteristic of the Yugoslav wars. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe return of violence, largely stimulated by populist history politics, came as a surprise to many observers, convinced as they were in the 1980s and even 1990s that the rise of memory, including the memories of past tragedies, promised peace and mutual understanding between different racial, national, ethnic, and religious communities rather than the renewal of hostilities. This is, however, not what we see today. Memory wars are currently raging from East Asia and Australia through Europe and the Near East to the Americas. The war in Ukraine has shown that a memory war can trigger a shooting war. This conference will focus on the ways in which populist movements and neo-authoritarian regimes weaponize the historical past as a major instrument of their propaganda, as well as on the long-term evolution of modern culture and historical consciousness, which has made possible such manipulations through collective memory.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECo-hosted by Georgia Tech School of Modern Languages and School of History and Sociology; Emory University Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures; Emory University Center for Human Rights and Democracy and the Department of Political Science; Georgia State University Department of Political Science, Criminology, and International Studies; and Georgia Gwinnett College.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EConference Schedule\u003C\/h2\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EMonday, Nov. 13\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPanel 1,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E12:30 \u2013 1:45 p.m., hosted by Georgia Tech, online\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/94957099028\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/94957099028\u003C\/a\u003E \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPanelists:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EGeorgi M.
