The Battle for the Past. How Politics Changes History
History has long ceased to be the domain of just scholars, turning into one of the most powerful tools in the battles of politicians. Destroyed monuments, rewritten textbooks, new street names - we have seen this many times, and it... seems we will not escape it in the future. Different interpretations of world history have come to serve the political managers, but at this moment they collided with the will of the masses. Professor Ivan Kurilla from the European University in St. Petersburg demonstrates with concrete examples how the past changes and who needs it; he also explains how our engagement with history and its new interpretation affect the foreign and domestic policies of different countries.
