Survey for Ukrainian and Russian Historians
Historians and the study of Russian and Ukrainian history
The following survey is collected by the Historians without Borders (HWB), a Finnish NGO established in 2015. The information will be used by the organization to gain a more informed understanding of the themes and issues that unite, and disunite scholars working on Russian and Ukrainian joint and parallel histories. The information will furthermore be used in a research project “Historians and the use of history” led by PhD Suvi Kansikas (Uni. of Helsinki), currently the vice-chair of the HWB.

The survey data will be processed by the Principal Investigator, using sufficient care in handling and storing the confidential information. All project members will sign a pledge of confidentiality before given access to the data. The data will be anonymized for research purposes, and all direct identifiers will be removed from it.
