Decade of Upheaval and Reflection

The closing decade of the 20th century saw significant upheavals across regions that had housed most of the world's Jewish population until 1939. This included the overturning of East European Communist governments and the fall of the USSR, along with a major Jewish emigration movement.

The legacy of Jewish presence in these countries and its entanglement in regional efforts to secure the future highlight fundamental issues about memory politics, national identity, and regime stability. These questions remain crucial, especially in light of recent events such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

In a landscape filled with conflicting narratives, social and political reconstruction pose primary challenges for peoples and governments. The contributors to this volume utilize interdisciplinary approaches to analyze post-communist social realities and enhance understanding of recent developments.
