"Official history" is generally understood as state-sponsored and ideologically inclined
construction of the past which serves certain political aims of mostly non-democratic
regimes. The optimistic believes that it will end up with the collapse of the Soviet
Union proved to be rather naive. As Pierre Nora argued, over the last thirty years
we have experienced a "general politicization of history" - the process of transforming
what historians produce into an ideology. How are the intellectual choices made by
historians today influenced by the long twentieth-century experiences of Eastern Europe?
What could "official history" mean for a stateless nation or a self-proclaimed "republic"?
How did Ukrainian historiography become or how was it forced to become Soviet? What
spaces for individual research initiatives or even for modest disagreement with obligatory
planned research existed in the official history institutions of Soviet Ukraine and
socialist Poland? How were Russian textbooks on history re-written during the post-Soviet
years? What role do literature, film, monuments, holidays or rituals play in the politics
of history? How have memories of the Second World War been instrumentalised in the
ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict and how have images of the ongoing war in the Donbas
influenced memory debates in neighbouring post-Soviet states? All those questions
are reflected in the interdisciplinary contributions to the volume by scholars from
Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Lithuania, Poland, Switzerland and Ukraine.
The majority of research papers were developed within the research project Divided
Memories, Shared Memories. Ukraine/Russia/Poland (20th-21st centuries): An Entangled
History (supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation) at the University of
Geneva, and were first presented at the conference Official History in Eastern Europe.
Transregional Perspectives at the German Historical Institute Warsaw in June 2018.
