  Abstract

This article compares changes in remembrance of the Holocaust and the Second World War in three successor states of the Soviet Union – Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania – belonging to different historical regions of Eastern Europe. The contribution argues that despite important distinctions, in all three states the new practices of remembrance are developing in similar ways: while the Holocaust is remembered, memory of it often remains marginalised or is appropriated for particular ends.

Key Words: Holocaust • Second World War • collective remembrance • Russia • Ukraine • Lithuania • Soviet Union
