Political Time Travel in the Middle Ages: Hungarian and Russian Examples


The exhibition will present how memory politics of the recent decades have used medieval history in Hungary and Russia. History, historical monuments, historical cults have always been exploited for supporting presentist goals: every new epoch is rewriting history from its own viewpoint, but representatives of modern autocratic states are especially active in this field. Based on a research project on “historical revisionism” this exhibition will present a critical overview of the biases of this political use of the Middle Ages.


Curated by Gábor Klaniczay and Péter Tóth G.

Researchers: Ferenc Kanyó, Olga Kalashnikova (Torino, The Transmission of Old Church Slavonic Texts)

Partners: CEU Department of Historical Studies, CEU Democracy Institute, University of Torino
