ABSTRACT Eastern Europe is the scene of multiple memory conflicts, especially between the Russian Federation and other regional states. Typically, analyses of these conflicts examine contradictions between opposed accounts, critique distortions of the historical record, and attempt to establish corrected narratives. Instead, the present article examines how seemingly incommensurate accounts may be elements of larger structures of entangled mutual reinforcement. Analysis is directed toward Latvian and Russian documentary film accounts of World War II, and reveals how alternate regimes of truth may operate not to destabilize one another, but rather to reinforce opposition and to support symmetrical occlusions in memory discourse.

东欧错综复杂的历史：波罗的海-俄罗斯记忆冲突中的互补闭塞和互锁极端

摘要 东欧是多重记忆冲突的地方，尤其是俄罗斯联邦和其他地区国家之间。通常，对这些冲突的分析会检查对立叙述之间的矛盾、对历史记录的批评，并试图建立正确的叙述。相反，本文研究了看似不相称的解释如何成为纠缠相互强化的更大结构的元素。分析针对的是拉脱维亚和俄罗斯的二战纪录片，揭示了交替的真相政权如何运作，而不是破坏彼此的稳定，而是加强对立并支持记忆话语中的对称闭塞。
