Ukraine: “New Memory Engineers” and Ruslan Zabilyi's Case

Timothy Snyder writes ^[1] on NYRblog about the arrest of Ruslan Zabilyi ^[2], the director of a Lviv museum “devoted to the occupation of Ukraine by the Nazis and the Soviets”: “Under Yanukhovych, Ukraine’s new memory engineers are using force.” Steve Bandera of Kyiv Scoop offers more insight ^[3]: “These are the kind of people who see mercantile advantages, take them using force and intimidation, and flourish in Yanukovych’s Ukraine. They care not about national memory or historical justice or ideology. They want to sell you a house built atop killing fields.”
