6 The Salvation of the Two Europes in 1968 from the Perspective of 1989

Vladimir Tismaneanu, in his book Fantasies of Salvation: Democracy, Nationalism and Myth in PostCommunist Europe, hypothesizes that politically and intellectually, the postcommunist world will remain a battlefield of irreconcilable myths:

The postcommunist landscape is propitious soil for collective passions, fears, illusions, and disappointments. The old ideological certainties are dead. Instead, new mythologies have arisen to provide quick and satisfactory answers to excruciating dilemmas. Political myths are responses to the sentiments of discontinuity, fragmentation, and the overall confusion of the postcommunist stage.[1]
