About the Panel:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
This is an event focused on the challenges of researching post-Soviet collections, archives and artefacts in the post-Soviet era, the difficulty of identifying and redescribing items as part of a national story and extracting them from dominant Russian imperial constructions. Katya Rogatchevskaia will talk about these issues in general terms with regard to the British Library collections, and the three other participants will talk about their experience as PhD researchers negotiating this problem.\u00a0Darya Lis about the Belarusian context; Assiya Issemberdiyeva about the Central Asian context; and Oleksandr Teliuk about the Ukrainian context, each focusing on one or two artefacts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This event is intended especially to focus on the issues faced by PhD students, as well as the wider research community.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
