**Public Interview with Anton Drobovych**

"How to Preserve the Truth About the Ongoing War? The Idea of a National Repository (Archive)": A Public Interview with Anton Drobovych at the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation’s Museum of Civilian Voices

Russia’s war against Ukraine has become the most documented conflict in human history. Since 2014 and especially since 2022, dozens of Ukrainian initiatives have emerged to record the events of the war. Today, professionals are actively discussing how to systematize and preserve this vast body of data—and who should be responsible for doing so.

The Museum of Civilian Voices by the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation is launching a platform to discuss the future of war documentation and archiving. The first event in this series of public interviews will feature Anton Drobovych—a scholar, civil society activist, and head of the Center for Human Rights and War Memorialization at the Kyiv School of Economics.

The topic of the conversation: "How to Preserve the Truth About the Ongoing War? The Idea of a National Repository of Documents."
The interview will be moderated by Natalia Yemchenko, Director of Communications at SCM and a member of the Supervisory Board of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation.

Key discussion points:
— What is the purpose of a National Repository of war-related documents?
— What is the difference between documentation and archiving? Which organizations in Ukraine are involved, and what are their areas of expertise?
— How can the process be organized, and how can consensus be reached among organizations engaged in documentation and archiving?
— Who should fund a platform for preserving the memory of war? What are the benefits and risks of private funding?
