Summary/Abstract: In June 2024, the Toskánský Palace in Prague hosted an international conference to evaluate a decade of research on Soviet NKVD/KGB archives in Ukraine, opened after the 2014 "Revolution of Dignity." The event, supported by various institutions, featured prominent historians and experts who discussed the impact of Soviet secret police on society, the methods of surveillance, and the role of informants. Ukrainian archivists highlighted the challenges of working during the ongoing war. Key topics included the credibility of KGB records, the use of archival documents in investigating wartime atrocities, and the digitalization of archives. The conference underscored the importance of these archives in understanding Soviet history and its contemporary implications, with plans to publish the findings in a book.
