Recenzii
This book is an important investigation into how the Kremlin under Vladimir Putin uses the control and interpretation of Soviet and post-Soviet history primarily as a cultural weapon in geopolitical combat ... The author skillfully organizes the study into chapters that cover how the Russian state institutionalizes the production of "historical truth"; the political centrality of the mythology of Great Patriotic War; the use of history in the mobilization of patriotism; the deployment of the Holocaust as a foreign-policy tool; and the steady, repressive exclusion of alternative, critical viewpoints about the past.
[The book] provides a convincing picture of the state monopoly on the writing of history under Putin and a detailed analysis of the results of this policy in historical research and writing. The book is well-written and has an extensive bibliography.
The Putin regime is trying to rewrite history to suppress the memory of repression and to justify itself. In this book, Anton Weiss-Wendt draws on impressive research to provide a comprehensive guide to what is happening. The result is a resource for all those who understand that the truth about the past is the sine qua non for Russia's decent future.
Prof Weiss-Wendt demonstrates how Putin has succeeded in imposing a 'history politics' on his subjects that sacralises a mendacious version of World War II history whilst destroying Russia's pre-existing structures of historical research and education, themselves already compromised. His ultimate objective is seemingly to crush domestic dissent, discredit former vassal states Moscow wants to reabsorb, and draw Western democracies into a new 'Yalta' radically recasting European security arrangements. Weiss-Wendt's imposing analysis is objective and the tone courteous. But his summaries and conclusions are clear and unequivocal.The West's response to this ominous ideological offensive has been weak. This is a book which all alarmed by 'Westlessness' should read carefully, including officials and politicians.
