“…According to this law, a Communist past did not entail any consequences; only false declarations regarding the past would be punished. This relatively benign treatment of the Communist past notwithstanding, the reckoning with the past and the issue of decommunisation in general have been a constant issue of debate and is a very divisive element of political life in Poland since the transition (Grabowski 1998;González-Enríquez 2001, pp. 237-41).…”

National identities are social phenomena with concrete-both political and social-effects in society, but a fundamental part of their constitution takes place through narratives about the collective. The existence of collective identities thus depends on drawing boundaries between the collective 'we' and the 'others', as well as on disseminating coherent ideas about the fundamental identity of the we-group. These narratives thus constitute a privileged object for investigating how collective identities are constructed and legitimised in a discourse that places the collective in time, that is, with a coherent and logical narrative about the past and a trustworthy projection into the future. This article defends, first, the concept of the 'master narrative' as a useful analytical category for investigating how national history is constructed, and, second, the concepts of 'sites of memory' and 'Vergangenheitsbewältigung' as means of accessing this narrative. These concepts represent instances of creation and rewriting, respectively, of the narrative and are thus useful tools for analysing how a sense of connectedness with the community through time is created: that is, how a sense of continuity with certain distant epochs is conveyed, and how, on the other hand, a sense of discontinuity with other periods is favoured.

Jalta versus Stalingrad, GULag versus HolocaustKonfligierende Erinnerungskulturen im größeren Europa Durch das Europa der Nach-Wende-Zeit verlaufen zwei erinnerungskulturelle Trennlinien, die immer deutlicher zutage treten: Während für den "alten Westen" der Holocaust zunehmend zum Gründungsmythos wird, steht für die neuen EU-Mitglieder die Erinnerung an die sowjetische Hegemonie, verkörpert im GULag, im Vordergrund. Zugleich ist die Osthälfte Europas erinnerungskulturell in die Russländische Föderation auf der einen Seite und etliche anderen Republiken der implodierten UdSSR und deren ehemalige Satelliten auf der anderen gespalten. Während aus Moskauer Sicht der Erinnerungsort Stalingrad für den eigenen "Sieg über den Faschismus" und die "Befreiung Europas" steht, wird diese Perspektive in Ostmitteleuropa vehement verworfen. Hier symbolisiert stattdessen der "Verrat des Westens" in Jalta den Beginn eines neuerliche Besatzungsregimes. Aber auch über diesen Konflikt bezüglich der Vergangenheitsdeutung hinaus unterscheiden sich die Staaten und Gesellschaften des GUS-Bereichs, Ostmittel-wie Südosteuropas bezüglich ihrer Erinnerungskultur, wie durch eine Unterteilung in vier Kategorien deutlich gemacht wird.
