Summary/Abstract: If at the end of the 20th century you wanted to know whether Moscow or the authentic extreme left had been more powerful in postwar Central Europe, you had to go to Russia. The promising partial opening of the Soviet archives began a trend and researchers let themselves be seduced by the vision of uncovering the secrets of Bolshevism’s success. The symbolic representation of this vision was an imaginary map of the blank spaces in Soviet history.
