Policing Memory: Historical Truth and Human Rights in Post-Soviet Russia
A new analysis examines how the Russian state controls historical memory and what this means for human rights in post-Soviet Russia. It looks at laws and practices that criminalise certain interpretations of the Soviet past and restrict independent remembrance work. Human rights advocates argue that policing history suppresses dissent and silences victims, while supporters of such laws present them as protecting national dignity.
Why now: Concerns over state control of historical narrative in Russia remain prominent amid ongoing repression and the war in Ukraine.
