Pavel Polyan's new book contains works on the relationship between memory and unconsciousness, politics and history: an issue that, alas, never ceases to be relevant. “Historiomor” is a neologism and metaphor – this is the triumph of politics, propaganda and anti-historicism (oblivion) over history itself, memory and truth. Its main manifestations are obvious: tabooization of topics and sources (“Don’t you dare!”), falsification and mythologization of empiricism (“In a certain kingdom, in a certain state…”) and denial, or relativization, of established factography (“Shadow on the fence!”).
