On August 18, 2026, Olha Vovk, lecturer at the Department of Historiography, Heritage Studies, and Archaeology, took part in the presentation of the documentary film “Industrial Utopia: The Unrealized Project of the Kharkiv Nuclear Power Plant”.
The film was created within the framework of the “Industrial Utopia” program, implemented by the Central State Scientific and Technical Archives of Ukraine with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation. Combining historical, technical, and artistic components, this interdisciplinary research project is dedicated to rethinking the role of unfulfilled infrastructure objects as a phenomenon of 20th-century industrial utopia.
The event brought together a wide range of specialists and public activists, who shared their impressions of the project and reflections on potential directions for its future development.
