Historical (Re-)interpretations of 1945 in the Former European Socialist Countries

Original language description

The conference Historical (Re-)interpretations of 1945 in the Former European Socialist Countries was placed on 25 September 2025 at the Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar in Zagreb. It was dedicated to 80 years since the end of the Second World War. The end of wartime horrors did not bring about the benefits of democracy, the affirmation of human rights principles, or the end of authoritarian policies to many nations in this region. Most countries between the Baltic and the Adriatic found themselves under the influence of the Soviet Union, leading to the establishment of socialist regimes. This change defined the political structure of the area and influenced historical narratives and the culture of remembrance of 1945, resulting in various, often conflicting interpretations of 1945. While liberation from fascism is celebrated on one hand, the beginning of Soviet (communist) domination as a new form of political and ideological repression is highlighted on the other. These conflicts in historical narratives are revived in today’s political contexts, especially after the Russian military interventions in Ukraine have given new meanings to the memory of 1945.
