Dr. Viktoriya Latyshava

Visiting Scholar Dorothee Freudenberg-Fonds

since April 2023

Viktoriya Latyshava has been a Visiting Scholar at the Fritz Bauer Institute since April 2023. She is working on a research project »Post-war discourse of persecution and extermination of the mentally ill in the occupied territory of Belarus in 1941–1944«. The implementation of the project is based on attention to the postwar practices of »talking« about the problem stated in the theme. To this end, attention is paid to the search for and analysis of various types of sources formed both in the Soviet period of Belarus' history and in the modern one.

Viktoriya Latyshava received her historical education at the Faculty of History and Philology of the Polotsk State University (2002), a master's degree at the Faculty of the Belarusian State University (2003), postgraduate studies at the Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (2006). In 2007, she defended her PhD thesis.
