Popis:	The essay reflects the impact of Russia’s war against Ukraine on memory studies. The politics of remembrance has become an integral part of the war, and scholars find themselves in a situation where they have to choose: to go to the front of the battle of remembrance or to try to continue their research in a purely academic way. This choice is somewhat speculative since, in one way or another, they are involved either in justifying the war or in resisting the aggressor. However, the war has only sharpened existing problems of the relationship between science and politics: the utilitarian and irresponsible use of collective memory by politicians, the mimicry of propaganda as scientific knowledge, the intensification of antagonistic memory politics, and the pressure of politicians, and the state on scholars.
