Ahead of the 50-year anniversary of the restoration of Greek democracy, we want to speak with people from around the country about their memories of the time, as well as the seven-year military dictatorship that preceded it. What is its legacy?

If you weren’t alive during the period, tell us about how you were taught about it and about life in Greece today.

Ενόψει των 50 χρόνων από την επαναφορά της δημοκρατίας, θέλουμε να μιλήσουμε με Έλληνες για τις αναμνήσεις τους για αυτήν την περίοδο, καθώς και για την επταετή στρατιωτική δικτατορία του 1967-1974.

Τι σημαίνει για εσάς αυτή η περίοδο και ποια είναι η ιστορική κληρονομιά της;

Αν δεν έχετε προσωπικό βίωμα αυτής της περιόδου, πείτε μας για το πώς σας διδάχτηκαν τα γεγονότα της συγκεκριμένης περιόδου και για την ζωή στην Ελλάδα σήμερα.
