A battle for the past. How Politics Changes History
9.99 €
History has long ceased to be the domain of scientists, becoming 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, will not escape in the future. Different interpretations of world history served the political managers, but at that moment they faced the will of the masses. Ivan Kurilla, a professor at the European University in St. Petersburg, shows how the past is changing and who needs it; and also tells how our appeal to history and its new interpretation affect the foreign and domestic policies of different countries. The book will be interesting to all those who want to navigate modern historical debates in the world and especially in Russia.
