The annual conference of the German-Ukrainian Historians' Commission took place on 29 and 30
September in Kyiv, in cooperation with the Institute of
History of Ukraine, the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
The conference dealt with the topic "Rethinking the Revolution
1917: War, Revolution and Statehood in Ukraine." Unlike in the old
Soviet narrative of the "Great Socialist October Revolution," the Conference was concerned with the theme of the national movement of the Ukrainian people and the struggle
for the founding of the state. The speakers focused their presentations on
various topics that integrated the national and social factors of the
revolutionary year, and also
linked various local and regional revolutionary stories in the former
Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires.
