| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The past decade has seen a dramatic change in the assessment of World War II in Europe. European discourse on this issue increasingly resembles a well-orchestrated attack against Russia, launched with the aim of either humiliating the Russian people or providing an excuse to oust the country from the group of leading global powers. A closer look at this shift reveals that it is largely caused by internal political developments that underlie the process of building a new identity. An insight into these processes, which gained momentum with the breakup of the global socialist system and the Soviet Union, will enable Russia to devise an adequate policy towards this issue of great concern in the country.
