In a century marked by totalitarian regimes, genocide, mass
migrations, and shifting borders, the concept of memory in Eastern
Europe is often synonymous with notions of trauma. In Ukraine,
memory mechanisms were disrupted by political systems seeking to
repress and control the past in order to form new national
identities supportive of their own agendas. With the collapse of
the Soviet Union, memory in Ukraine was released, creating
alternate visions of the past, new national heroes, and new
victims. This release of memories led to new conflicts and "memory
wars." How does the past exist in contemporary Ukraine? The works
collected in The Burden of the Past focus on commemorative
practices, the politics of history, and the way memory influences
Ukrainian politics, identity, and culture. The works explore
contemporary memory culture in Ukraine and the ways in which it is
being researched and understood. Drawing on work from historians,
sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and political
scientists, the collection represents a truly interdisciplinary
approach. Taken together, the groundbreaking scholarship collected
in The Burden of the Past provides insight into how memories can be
warped and abused, and how this abuse can have lasting effects on a
country seeking to create a hopeful future.
