The eastern enlargement of the European Union has intensified calls for reconstructing a common European remembrance of the continent's multiple totalitarian legacies. Various political initiatives to condemn, along with counter-attempts to re-legitimize, the legacy of communism have emerged at the pan-European level. Each has an ambition to leave an imprint onto the symbolic moral order and the legal regime of the broader European community. This article builds a conceptual framework for understanding the contestation of political and juridical regulation of the transnational remembrance of totalitarian communist regimes in Europe. Engaging critically the concept of cosmopolitanization of memory, it is argued that mnemonic identity in Europe is undergoing transformation via new claims on "European memory" made by various East European actors, seeking recognition of the region's particular historical legacies as part of the pan-European normative verdict on twentiethcentury totalitarianisms
