The Soviet historical profession is in ferment. For decades it was
relegated to the task of obfuscating the past, gilding the status
quo and papering over the "blank spots" in Soviet history - events
that defied even the most brazen attempts at falsification. Today
it is engaged in an often painful process of self-examination.
Initially rather timid, the internal discussion was soon propelled
by external events - the scuttling of history textbooks, official
disclosures of formerly "classified" facts and the explosion of
candour in the depictions of the past in memoirs, journalistic
writing and fiction. This volume gives voice to the lead actors in
the "first phase" of this process - the senior historians, their
journalistic "challengers" and those charged with responsiblity for
the institutions of research, training and publication in the field
of history.
