This article theorises the nexus between mnemonical status anxiety and militant memory laws. Extending the understanding of status-seeking in international relations to the realm of historical memory, I argue that the quest for mnemonical recognition is a status struggle in an international social hierarchy of remembering constitutive events of the past. A typology of mnemopolitical status-seeking is presented on the example of Russia (mnemonical positionalism), Poland (mnemonical revisionism), and Ukraine (mnemonical self-emancipation). Memory laws provide a common instance of securing and/or improving a state's mnemonical standing in the relevant memory order. Drawing on the conceptual analogy of militant democracy, the article develops the notion militant memocracy, or the governance of historical memory through a dense network of prescribing and proscribing memory laws and policies. Similar to its militant democracy counterpart, militant memocracy is in danger of self-inflicted harm to the object of defence in the very effort to defend it: its precautionary and punitive measures resound rather than fix the state's mnemonical anxiety problem.

国际关系中的好战记忆:东欧的助记状态焦虑和记忆规律

本文对助记状态焦虑与激进记忆法则之间的关系进行了理论分析。将国际关系中寻求地位的理解扩展到历史记忆领域,我认为寻求记忆识别是在记忆过去的构成事件的国际社会等级中的地位斗争。以俄罗斯为例,提出了一种助记政治地位寻求的类型学(记忆位置主义), 波兰 (记忆修正主义) 和乌克兰 (记忆的自我解放)。记忆法则提供了一个常见的例子来保护和/或改善一个州在相关记忆顺序中的助记地位。借鉴好战民主的概念类比,本文发展了这一概念好战的记忆,或者通过密集的规定和禁止记忆法律和政策的网络来治理历史记忆。与其激进的民主对应物相似,激进的记忆在努力捍卫它的过程中也面临着对防御对象造成伤害的危险:它的预防和惩罚措施响亮而不是解决国家的记忆焦虑问题。
