Abstract

Holocaust image representation in the Ukrainian and Russian historiography and (especially) political journalism was ideologically charged for quite a long time. It was a result of long-term evolution of Shoah image representation both in the official discourse (historiography and political journalism during the Soviet era, and school textbooks in modern Ukraine) and in unofficial publications. During the Soviet time the latter was, first of all, limited to self-published books (samizdat), and then was converted into two different (author- and target audience-wise) groups of texts – serious academic historiography and high-quality political essays on the one hand , and various anti-Semitic propaganda on the other hand.
