Soroka, George ; Krawatzek, Félix, co-autor

Journal of democracy . ISSN1045-5738 . Baltimore : The Jons Hopkins University Press, Vol. 30, no 2 (April 2019), , p. 157-171

Controversies over historical interpretation have become a key focus of contemporary politics in countries across the world. Recently, these issues have taken on particular prominence in Europe, where a burgeon ing array of laws governing how the past may be publicly recalled has sparked heated debates. Such “memory laws” have been enacted over the past several decades across a variety of regimes including the con solidated democracies of Spain and France. the backsliding democracy of Poland, the “defective” democracy of Ukraine, and an increasingly authoritarian Russia. Critically, most of these laws are intended to shape, rather than simply to reflect, social norms about how the past should be understood and discussed. For example, France’s 2005 Mekachera Act attempted to enshrine a more positive view of that countrys colonial involvement in Africa; a 2014 amendment to Russia’s penal code made it illegal to denigrate the actions of the Soviet Union dtiring the Second World War: and a 2018 Polish statute attempted to protect the “good name” of the Polish state and people against ally charges of complicity in Nazi atrocities, among other potential slights.
