1989: the year of the great ambivalence

Anton Pelinka

Chapter 2 in 30 Years of Transition in Europe, 2020, pp 7-15 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This paper argues against the re-nationalization of narratives linked to the events of 1989 by confronting the tendencies to define the transformation in Central and Eastern Europe as acts of national heroism with the reality of geopolitical facts. The paper’s central argument is based on the reality of an all-European development, emphasizing a transnational European narrative, – a narrative which tends to be overshadowed by the nationalization of memories.
