Timeline

2022

When Memorial was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, Rachnisky received the prize on behalf of Memorial and also gave the Nobel Lecture.

When Memorial was awarded the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize, Raczynski told the BBC that he was ordered to turn down the prize by the Russian authorities.

2021

A controversy arose in August 2021 when Israeli historian Aron Schneer publicly announced that Nazi collaborators guilty of war crimes had been included in the database as "victims of political terror". In December 2021, Raczynski responded on behalf of Memorial to Vladimir Putin: on 10 December the Russian president publicly named three Latvian polizei, who had already been excluded from the database in September 2021. Raczynski and Memorial suggested that the Russian authorities should express some appreciation for Memorial's work in compiling such an extensive database.

In mid-November 2021 lawsuits were brought against International Memorial and Memorial HRC in the RF Supreme Court and the Moscow City Court, respectively.

After a number of hearings, the Moscow courts ruled on two consecutive days, 28–29 December 2021, that both organisations should dissolve. "We never counted on love from the State," commented Raczynski.

2015

In 2015, formulating the State program for the Commemoration of the Victims of Political Repression, President Putin had talked of creating a unified database of victims. In January 2021 he instructed the FSB, Ministry of Internal Affairs and other relevant bodies to report back on this proposal in early October 2021. By the end of that year, however, nothing more was known of their activities. Memorial, meanwhile, was hampered as before by a lack of access to the archival materials at the disposal of the police and security services.

2011

In April 2011, Raczynski was awarded the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland for his research on the 1940 massacres in the Smolensk, Tver and Kharkov Regions of the USSR of POWs and others from the occupied territories of eastern Poland.

1990

In 1990-1995, Raczynski worked extensively with the Memorial Human Rights Centre (HRC), travelling to many hotspots in and around Russia: Karabakh in Azerbaijan; Transnistria in Moldova; and the Prigorodny district of North Ossetia. He was a member of the organisation's team of observers during the first Chechen conflict (1994-1996).

Over the past 15 years, Raczynski has served as director of the project to assemble a single resource from the information scattered between the numerous Books of Remembrance compiled and published in Russia since the early 1990s. By 2016, its fifth edition, an online database entitled "Victims of Political Terror in the USSR", contained the names of about three million victims of the Soviet regime: those who were deported, imprisoned or executed from 1918 onwards. This impressive figure was estimated to represent only a quarter of those who would qualify for rehabilitation under the terms of the October 1991 Law.

1980

He has been a human rights activist since the late 1980s when he first became involved in the work and activities of Memorial, a human rights organization examining the crimes of Stalin's regime. When the long-serving chairman of International Memorial, Arseny Roginsky, died in 2018, the board elected Rachinsky as his successor.

1958

Yan Zbignevich Rachinsky (Russian: Ян Збигневич Рачинский, also spelt Jan Raczynski, born 6 December 1958 in Moscow, USSR) is a Russian human rights activist, programmer and mathematician.

1888

Rachinsky's grandfather Sigismund Raczynski was Polish; his grandmother Rebecca (Rivka) Fyalka (1888-1975) was a prominent member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party. She was sentenced to 13 years "hard labour" (katorga) by a field tribunal after the 1905 Revolution. She began her sentence in 1907 in Buryatia (east Siberia) and was sent into permanent exile in 1910. She escaped and after the February 1917 Revolution was elected to the Soviet of Workers and Soldiers Deputies in Svobodny (Amur Region).
