“In the twenty-five years since the
Soviet Union was dismantled, the countries of the former Soviet Union have faced
different circumstances and responded differently to the need to redress and
acknowledge the communist past and the suffering of their people. While some
have adopted transitional justice and accountability measures, others have
chosen to reject them; these choices have directly affected state building and
societal reconciliation efforts.
This is the most
comprehensive account to date of post-Soviet efforts to address, distort,
ignore, or recast the past through the use, manipulation, and obstruction of
transitional justice measures and memory politics initiatives. Editors Cynthia
M. Horne and Lavinia Stan have gathered contributions by top scholars in the
field, allowing the disparate post-communist studies and transitional justice
scholarly communities to come together and reflect on the past and its
implications for the future of the region.”
