Anti-Bolshevik Terrorism in 1918: Fake History, Myths and Mythsbusting
The subject of my paper touches both on the part of the Readings' proposed agenda, viz., "Historian's Blindness: taboo, overlooked topics, pushed into the periphery of scholarly community, and their fate under the new conditions" and on its part that deals with the fake-history and forms of falsification of history.
The topic of the 1918 anti-bolshevik oppositional terrorism has become exactly such a taboo, overlooked topic pushed outside the scholarly continuum. This topic has been all but relegated to the space of folk-history and fake-history and is heavily forged and mythologized (both in the past and in the present). Here are the issues I am addressing in my paper: Why did it happen? What myths and why were created? Who is responsible and what was conducive? What are the ways to dislodge those myths and bring the subject-matter back into the scholarly space?
