Biography

In 1987, his family moved to Kamianets-Podilskyi.

Zaremba graduated from Faculty of History (2000) and postgraduate studies (2006) at Kamianets-Podilskyi National Pedagogical University.

He is the founder and head of the Kamianets-Podilskyi Military History Society, which is known for its historical reenactment festivals Terra heroica (2005–2009; since 2010, the Schola millitaria festival), The Last Capital, "Остання столиця" Archaeological Picnic, and Ruthenica Medievalis 2020.

From 2007 to 2011, he was a member of the board of the Ratusha Festival Agency.

In 2017, the Kamianets-Podilskyi Museum-Reserve under the leadership of Oleksandr Zaremba received UAH 7.2 million in revenue.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Oleksandr Zaremba” as ukrainian historian, and civic activist (born 1978). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1978, 1987, 2000, 2006—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1978-06-01. The account is most persuasive where Oleksandr, Zaremba and Ukrainian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as ukrainian historian, and civic activist (born 1978). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115573053. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1978, 1987, 2000 and 2006.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
