Oleg Lutohin directed the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Museum at the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center in Yekaterinburg. Since 2016, he has developed a program of public activities for the Center as the head of the educational department. Since November 2022, with a scholarship from the international exchange programme Memory Work funded by the 'Bundesstiftung Aufarbeitung', he interviewed museum professionals to understand how emotions convey nostalgia for the communist past in museum exhibitions in Russia and Germany. He continues his work as an independent researcher and museum administrator, focusing on the intersection of media, memory, and civic activism in post-socialist societies.
