Under the direction of Jan Claas Behrends, the department has been working on war and violence in Eastern Europe from the First World War to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine since 2014. Studies on illegitimate military violence, occupation and war crimes form one focus. The regional focus is on Poland, the USSR, Ukraine and Russia.
From 2014 to 2018, the Graduate School (Graduiertenkolleg): History of Left-Wing Politics in Germany beyond Social Democracy and Communism" was conducted at the ZZF Potsdam with several sub-projects. The Graduate School was established under the auspices of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung (RLS) and funded by the Federal Ministry of Science and Research between 2014 and 2018. Mario Keßler, who was the project co-leader at ZZF and is since 2021 a Senior Fellow at the institute, is working on a book project in this field.
