Summary/Abstract: Many professional historians have viewed measures undertaken to celebrate anniversaries of historical events with scepticism. Celebrations connected to memorable dates are often pompous: coffee-table books released for this or that anniversary are frequently official in character, and their scholarly level is not high. Jubilee events often lack an element of discussion, even though, as is well known, the truth is often born out precisely in the clash of opinions.
