| Popis: | The question this article aims to pose based on the selected ego-document (Today’s Russia by A. Cesarec) is: does the paradigm of fear in the Stalin’s 1930s exclude the paradigm of enthusiasm? Have the memories of the horrors and fears of the Great Terror and the Gulag era erased the memory of the enthusiastic atmosphere and happiness of the Soviet ‘Golden Age’? Cesarec’s Today’s Russia evokes the same scepticism today, which, according to Kuromiya, Western historiography held towards Soviet memoirs on their exploits and successes in the 1930s, labelling them as ordinary Soviet propaganda, i.e. historically improbable material, ‘lakirovka’ or fraud. The main task of this article is to decipher, i.e. reconstruct, Cesarec’s image of the facts of the epoch – as Yuri Lotman put it in his book Within Thinking Worlds. |
