Its staff has done pioneering research on the arrest, imprisonment, and execution of millions of innocent Soviet citizens, on the extraction of slave labor by Nazi occupiers during the Second World War, and on the history of the Soviet dissident movement. It has amassed priceless expertise on these and other topics along with a unique archive of historical documents that have become an invaluable resource for scholars in Russia and around the world, including members of ASEEES.&nbsp; We call on the Russian government to restore Memorial\u2019s legal standing as an independent organization dedicated to historical research, education, and advocacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See a <a href=\"https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aseees.org%2Fadvocacy%2Faseees-expresses-grave-concern-russian-governments-assault-memorial&amp;data=04%7C01%7Caseees%40pitt.edu%7C17f3431a77984520b45008d9d6a5df52%7C9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7C1%7C0%7C637776830163338070%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=NtOWneYKdHFR2mn1XBH0Cs8BOSHkDQtOmHKecaDvMnE%3D&amp;reserved=0\">related statement<\/a> made on November 16, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aseees.org\/advocacy\/aseees-condemns-recent-decision-russian-supreme-court-shut-down-memorial-society\">https:\/\/www.aseees.org\/advocacy\/aseees-condemns-recent-decision-russian-supreme-court-shut-down-memorial-society<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15294,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/aseees-logo.png?fit=1530%2C495&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52516,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52516","url_meta":{"origin":29927,"position":0},"title":"Marko Grde\u0161i\u0107, Mislav \u017ditko, \u201eSocialist Economics in Yugoslavia: A Critical History\u201c","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"17. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"This book presents a critical history of Yugoslav socialist economics, from its inception in the late 1940s to its dissolution in the late 1980s.
