Successive exposition and intellectual distinctness possess расколдовывающей force: a book softly opens eyes in horror to the зажмурившимуся reader, not "normalizing" inconceivable, but driving away that fear that обессиливает and deprives reason. Our position is unhopeless, our case is not unique. Rare nation does not appear in certain moment to the history before by semicopsy pit with bones, and the descendants of executioners and victims already переженились on each other and raise general children, the grandchild of commander of shooting brigade manages humanitarian edition, excavations of graves look treachery of the general past. Is it necessary to stir up him? What now, are we all bad? Nothing is it impossible to be proud of? Is it possible to correct something? And if will all begin to take revenge on to each other? In a book answers are given for these questions, the practical over are brought recipes and methods of renewal of the broken historical memory and national identity not based on a lie and silence".Catherine Шульман, political scientistКопирайт© Н.
