Guest: Prof. Emilia Koustova.
Host: Prof. Violeta Davoliūtė.

In the fourth episode of the EUROPAST Podcast, Professor Violeta Davoliūtė talks with Emilia Koustova from the University of Strasbourg about the European Gulag Memories project and her experience learning about and researching Soviet repressions in Eastern Europe. What is the state of oral history research into Soviet repressions and the Gulag system? How can oral history help change our understanding about Central and Eastern Europe? What is the state of the relations between Russian scholars and scholars in the West?
 
In the EUROPAST Podcast, we explore Europe's most pressing challenges of public history. We investigate the complex and contested spaces of public memory, memory activism and best practices for engaging the public in a dialogue about the past.
