Konflikty pamięci a geopolityka przestrzeni poradzieckiej

Abstract

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the level of interest in its past has grown. Firstly, the release of the memory of various nations has multiplied its sources; secondly, the systemic changes in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and a discussion of the history of the post-Soviet areas are used as primary arguments in current political conflicts. The aim of this article is to point out some examples of the instrumentalization of the politics of memory by introducing falsified historical arguments into a public debate (also at the international level).
