La «soviétologie» après le putsch. Vers une guérison

Sovietology» after the Putsch : towards a Recovery. Wladimir Berelowitch. [7-20]. Since the 1950' s, «sovietology», especially in the United States and in France, has hesitated between the «totalitarist» interpretation and the «revisionnist» interpretation of Soviet history. Whatever the motivations, be they political (the Cold War) or psychological (conflicts between generations within the university), whatever the russophile or russophobe passions, the tightening of these antithetic and sharply delineated models can be explained by the difficulties of the object itself. The ideology produced by the regime said that the latter, would bring on the end of history, and made the subject disappear from the historic scene, for the benefice of abstract categories. Both -schools-, each in its own way - one through an excess of facination, the other through a will to render Soviet history common place - did not always avoid these snares which the communist regime's fall (and the fall of past passions and challenges) will now defuse
