The monograph is the result of research conducted between 2014 and 2018 in
historical museums in Central and Eastern Europe. The main goal of the book is
to verify the thesis about the existence of supranational collective memory in
societies affected by the shared experience of totalitarianism.

The analysis of the extensive research material allowed the author to
distinguish social practices and types of exhibitions. Historical policies
conducted by individual states exhibit features in common, their goal being to
accustom people to the difficult past, to shape the positive images of the
countries and to create the cultural founding myths of the post-communist
states. Historical museum exhibitions become the executors of these ideas by
introducing official interpretations of the communist period.
