In order to guide the wider narrative, many former communist countries constructed museums dedicated to chronicling their experiences. Museums of Communism explores the complicated intersection of history, commemoration, and victimization made evident in these museums constructed after 1991. While contributors from a diverse range of fields explore various museums and include nearly 90 photographs, a common denominator emerges: rather than focusing on artifacts and historical documents, these museums often privilege memories and stories. In doing so, the museums shift attention from experiences of guilt or collaboration to narratives of shared victimization under communist rule. As editor Stephen M. Norris demonstrates, these museums are often problematic at best and revisionist at worst. From occupation museums in the Baltic States to memorial museums in Ukraine, former secret police prisons in Romania, and nostalgic museums of everyday life in Russia, the sites considered offer new ways of understanding the challenges of separating memory and myth"-- 650 0 Communism |zEurope, Eastern |xHistory. 650 0 Historical museums. 700 1 Norris, Stephen M., |eeditor. 776 08 |iOnline version: |tMuseums of communism |dBloomington : Indiana University Press, 2020. |z9780253050311 |w(DLC) 2019050595 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6947_000900000000000_04074_NOR |70 |8REF |9129861OSA |bOSA |d2020-12-14 |eOSA |l0 |o947.0009/04074 NOR |r2020-12-14 |w2020-12-14 |yBK |cReference 920 01 yovqyEe7 992 01 947_000900000000000_04074_NOR |bQVS_ZZZQZZZZZZZZZZZ_ZVZSV_CB8 966 |cIn the Research Room
