We, the undersigned, express deep concern about the mounting restrictions on academic freedom in Ukraine in relation to the complex issues of Ukrainian politics and history. The Russian invasion and the ongoing war have already severely affected Ukraine’s academic and educational sectors, destroying universities, displacing scholars, and restricting mobility (especially for Ukrainian male researchers).

In addition to these tragedies, we are witnessing an alarming rise in harassment, threats, and persecution—often stemming from nationalist activism and public campaigns — targeting scholars who continue their research under these exceptionally difficult wartime conditions. Particularly vulnerable are those working on sensitive, underexamined, and often politically inconvenient topics such as the far right, ethnonationalism, and democratic backsliding in Ukraine.

One such scholar is Ukrainian historian and war refugee Dr. Marta Havryshko, currently Visiting Assistant Professor in Holocaust Pedagogy and Antisemitism Studies at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University in the United States.

In recent years, she has also served as the Director of the Institute at the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center (Kyiv, Ukraine). She has been a visiting fellow at numerous institutions, including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Yad Vashem, the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies, the Center for Holocaust Studies at the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History, the Hamburg Institute for Social Research, Monash University, Yahad-In Unum, the University of Basel, the German Historical Institute Warsaw, and the University of Rzeszow.

A feminist scholar, Dr. Havryshko is known for her research on the Holocaust, the Second World War, Ukrainian nationalism, sexual violence in war, and memory. In particular, her work has addressed war crimes committed by the Russian military during the Russo-Ukrainian war. She has published and delivered multiple lectures on this topic at leading global universities, including Harvard and the Sorbonne. Her book, Overcoming Silence: Women’s War Stories (Kharkiv, 2018), which explores the experiences of women in the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and Ukrainian Insurgent Army during and after World War II, has been banned as “extremist literature” by authorities in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine and and removed from libraries there.

Despite this record, Dr. Havryshko has been subjected to sustained antisemitic abuse, as well as death and rape threats targeting her and her child. For over a year, these threats have come from an international far-right network responding to her critical stance on Ukrainian ethnonationalism and her work on the historical and contemporary far right in Ukraine. Many of the threats originate from Ukrainian and Russian far-right actors involved in military activities. Given the network’s connections to far-right terrorism, U.S. law enforcement agencies—including the police and the FBI—have been actively investigating these threats with utmost seriousness.

But in Ukraine, the response has been strikingly different. In the domestic media space, some pro-government bloggers, journalists, public figures, militants, and “concerned citizens” have attacked and stigmatized Dr.Havryshko’s research, accusing her of spreading “pro-Russian propaganda” and labeling her a “Russian asset.”

In January 2025, Dr. Havryshko was added to the Myrotvorets website. This controversial Ukrainian database lists individuals it deems threats to Ukraine’s national security and reportedly maintains close ties to the security services. The website has drawn criticism and concern from foreign and international bodies, including the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, and members of the G7.

Recently, Dr. Havryshko was dismissed from the I. Krypiakevych Institute of Ukrainian Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) under the pretext of “absence from the workplace.” This, despite the Institute’s leadership being fully aware that Dr. Havryshko was in the United States with her child on “unpaid leave.” According to established practice, this status is supposed to remain in effect until the end of the war for all NASU employees who became academic refugees following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

As a result of public targeting, her family in Ukraine has faced harassment. Foreign colleagues with whom she has communicated via social media (evidently under extralegal surveillance) have been detained at the border and interrogated for hours about their relationship with her. These intimidating measures jeopardize not only her academic freedom, but also her personal safety and her ability to care for her child.

At the core of this case is an effort to silence a critical scholar who dares to speak about the resurgence of far-right movements and historical revisionism in Ukraine, their acceptance by state institutions and civil society, and their increasing legitimation in the Western public sphere. As a Holocaust educator, Dr. Havryshko teaches courses on antisemitism and racism. How can she uphold the ethical imperative of “Never Again”—demonstrating where racism, discrimination, and hatred lead—while being expected to remain silent about Holocaust distortion and World War II revisionism?

This case exemplifies a dangerous political dynamic in which critique of far-right ideologies and ethnonationalism is rebranded as a “national security threat,” thereby legitimizing persecution and censorship.

Academic freedom, freedom of speech, and scholarly integrity must not be subordinated to political or geopolitical loyalties. Their only legitimate standards are intellectual honesty and analytical rigor.

We speak out in defense of Marta Havryshko—on behalf of truth, justice, academic freedom, and scholarly independence and in defense of a courageous woman’s right to speak. If such persecution can reach a Ukrainian scholar working in the United States, what does this imply for those still living under direct political supervision in Ukraine?

We stand not only with Marta, but with all scholars, journalists, and researchers whose conscience does not align with official narratives.

In today’s Ukraine, the notion of protecting the nation’s reputation—crucial for maintaining international support during wartime—is increasingly used to justify repression and to curtail academic freedom and public debate. As a result, the space for open reflection on the country’s own internal challenges has dramatically narrowed.

Many scholars and civic actors continue their work with resilience. But the current climate leaves many of them vulnerable to intimidation and marginalization—not only for political expression, but also for independent, critical research. This climate threatens the erosion of fundamental rights and weakens the conditions necessary for solidarity and mutual protection.

We call on Ukrainian authorities and the international scholarly community to uphold and defend academic freedom. Critical inquiry must not be seen as a liability, but as an essential component of democratic resilience.
