La transparence et la mémoire

Openness and memory. The Soviets look at their past, Nicolas Werth An examination of literary works, films, TV programs, articles in newspapers and scientific journals in which the question of glasnost in history has been posed since 1986, shows clearly the cleavages between establishment historians and « revisionists » who want to pursue the truth even in the dark periods of Soviet history. With, in the end, a battle on the historical front which results in an acknowledgment of the failure of ideology.Werth Nicolas. La transparence et la mémoire.
