Online-lecture "Exploring Historical Memory in Narva: Challenges and Opportunities"

In recent decades, studies of historical memory have been gaining increasing popularity in scholarly literature. Historical memory encompasses the complex socio-cultural perception by contemporary individuals of processes, events, and phenomena of the past. Narva, with its extremely diverse and rich history marked by events significant for the entire region, provides an excellent platform for such research. During the lecture, studies of historical memory in Narva conducted by historians from Estonia, Russia, and Germany will be discussed, along with new opportunities for further exploration of this topic. The preparation of the lecture involved the use of publications from international scientific journals and collections, as well as materials from the annual publication of the Narva Museum.

Ivan Lavrentiev graduated from Tallinn University with a degree in History and obtained a master's degree from the University of Helsinki. He specializes in the history of Estonia and the former USSR during the transitional period of the 1980s-1990s. Since 2020, he has been a research fellow at the Narva Museum.
