Natalia Narotchnitskaya will speak in Russian with interpretation in French.
Relations between Russia and the West are embedded in a history which is rich in cultural exchanges and saturated with numerous political misunderstandings. This relationship, which is crucial for both parties, is increasingly confronted by profound differences in memory, for example regarding ‘The Great Patriotic War.' This conference aims to identify these differences, and suggests that in future dialogue will be played out partly through readings of the past, whether they are separate or shared.
