Late and Post-Communism in Eastern Europe

The focus area examines political, economic and cultural changes, cultures of remembrance and the effects of communism and system change on the societies of Eastern Europe. Several international research projects are represented here: the interdisciplinary research network "Legacies of Communism?", the joint project "Europast" and the ERC project "Perestroika from Below". Individual projects are also being worked on

Perestroika from Below

ERC Research project 
Funded by the European Union
Project leader: Juliane Fürst 
Project start: August 2022

Historiography has assigned a very particular understanding to the perestroika project: it is perceived as enacted from above, hinging on the persona of Gorbachev, and a phenomenon to which people reacted rather than forced action upon. This project will instead look at “perestroika from below”.
