´Our Glorious Past´: Lukashenka´s Belarus and the Great Patriotic War

"This excellent book fills a longstanding void in literature on the politics of memory in Eastern Europe. Professor Marples has produced an innovative and courageous study of how postcommunist Ukraine is rewriting its Stalinist and wartime past by gradually but inconsistently substituting Soviet models with nationalist interpretations. Clearly written and well argued, this study will make a major impact both within and beyond academia."-Serhy Yekelchyk, University of Victoria, on David R. Marples, "Heroes and Villains: Creating National History in Contemporary Ukraine" (2008)
