DEZBATEREA PRIVIND CONDAMNAREA COMUNISMULUI ÎN EUROPA
Debate on the Condemnation of Communism in Europe

Summary/Abstract: Topics on recent history are one of the most important deals since the communism crashed in Central and Eastern Europe. Beyond the concrete treatment in every European country, for the European Union this topic seemed to represent rather a secondary question, for it remained important only for historians. Still, in the last decade, the relationships to the communist past come into focus again. Two major reasons explain this evolution: Rusia related her discourse about identity to the Second World War, in contradiction to other Eastern countries and, on the other hand, former communist territories joined the European Union. On this new frame, they underlined the relationships to communism, as a specific problem for each and all of the countries. The most important initiatives in the European Parliament were the so-called Lindblad Motion, in 2006, and the Resolution of 2009 regarding the “European consciousness and totalitarism”. This study refers to the impact of these topics on the European Union as a whole as well as the consequences for each ex-communist country. As regarding the historical research on communism it has to be appreciated that communism changes from reality lived into subject to focus on, having the endorsement of European Union.
