After the end of a totalitarian (or colonial) regime, the question arises how to deal with the injustice committed by the former regime. The end of the Soviet Union is no exception to this rule. Ukraine, like most of the former Soviet republics, addressed this question at best half-heartedly. This omission now takes revenge because the open questions and wounds from the past are a leverage for Russian propaganda to disunite Ukrainian society. For this reason, Ukraine has paid more attention to coping with Soviet injustice since 2014. This pilot project takes stock of the legal mechanisms designed to address Soviet injustice, analyses weak spots and points at questions which have been left unanswered so far. This prepares a follow-up project which will aim at laying down the theoretical-academic basis for an improved Ukranian legislation in this field.

The department for Ukrainian law of the Institut für Ostrecht (Institute for East European Law) continuously monitors the legal development in Ukraine: legislation, court practice, and legal academia. This legal development is documented in quarterly reports within the „IOR-Chronik der Rechtsentwicklung“ (Institute for East European Law Chronicles on the Legal Development). The reports provide German-speaking legal academia, legal practice and politics with a timely overview of the most important points of legal life in Ukraine. The „IOR-Chronik der Rechtsentwicklung“ is published in the online journal „Wirtschaft und Recht in Osteuropa“ which can be read free of costs on the website of the Institut für Ostrecht.
