Memory
2025 ASEEES President: Adrienne Edgar, UC Santa Barbara
Memory is both personal and collective, and shared ways of remembering help to define human communities. In Eastern Europe and Eurasia, individual and “unofficial” memories have often been seen as more trustworthy than the history recounted in official sources. Yet individual memory is inevitably affected and shaped by public memory, which some states and political elites try to manipulate for their own gain. Authoritarian rulers, whatever their ideological stripe, seek to control historical memory in order to bolster and justify their rule.
