Rezensionen

"Well-documented and engaging, Durdiyeva's monograph expertly shows that civil society actors can facilitate transitional justice in countries like post-communist Russia whose governments tolerate past injustice to cover their own human rights violations. While salutary, such unofficial truth projects might adopt nationalist overtone or misinterpret historical facts." Prof. Lavinia Stan, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada

"This book makes two important contributions: it sheds light on civil society groups engaged in accountability and reckoning in an oppressive political climate often described as a "non-case," and tempers assumptions that such bottom-up mechanisms for remembering are necessarily positive forces for reform." Dr. Cynthia Horne, Western Washington University, USA
