In this session of “The Dissident Library” Georgiy Kassianov, professor at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland, spoke on “Non-Conformists,” his monograph on Ukrainian dissenters which was published in 1995 and republished in 2019. How does the second edition differ from the first one? Is Kassianov’s focus from 2019 still relevant in 2022? In this context, he also talked about memory politics, the subject of his latest monograph “Memory Crash: Politics of History In and Around Ukraine, 1980s–2010s” (2022). Other questions concerned the scope of dissident studies as a discipline. How did it evolve in Ukraine from the 1990s to the 2000s? By discussing the specifics of Ukrainian dissent, this talk allows us to problematize the notion of Soviet dissidents.
