The meeting with the head of the State Archival Service of Ukraine Anatoly Chromovo and the first deputy chairman of the State Archival Service of Ukraine Tatyana Shevchenko took place at the Museum of the History of the City of Kyiv. Natalya Emchenko, SCM communications director, member of the Supervisory Board of the Foundation Rinat Akhmetova, modified the interview.
During the meeting, it was noted that in the archive of the war, the creation of which is now actively discussed, documents should be stored first regarding transitional justice and testimonies that can be used in courts.
“We, as a state body, cannot rely only on the initiatives of the public sector. This is very often a design approach, so it is not known what will happen to these documents when the projects are closed,” Khromov emphasized.
The State Archival Service offers various formats of cooperation with institutions documenting the history of war. One of the main mechanisms is the adoption of materials for state storage, which guarantees them official status, legal protection and long -term safety. The creation of a single archive of war requires coordinated synergy between state structures, public initiatives and private organizations. So you can ensure reliable preservation of memory and access to the truth for future generations.
“Archives are not just a title and name. Behind the archives – a large legislation that normalizes the procedure and shelf life, the value of documents and examination that determines it. We can help pass an examination that will allow these documents to receive the status necessary for further long -term storage,” Shevchenko said.
The abbreviated version of the conversation was published by the publication “Historical Truth”.
