Publisher's summary
«Неудобное прошлое» Николая Эппле - важная книга об исторической памяти и мифах, вошедшая в короткий список премии «Просветитель»-2021. Существует ли прошлое как объективная реальность? Ведь оно формируется памятью, а память предвзята и легко позволяет себя обмануть. И есть такое прошлое, с которым непонятно, как жить, - память о преступлениях, в которых виноваты не внешние силы, а твоя собственная страна. Помнить о жертвах и страдании вообще труднее, чем о героях и победах, но, чтобы преодолеть «трудное прошлое» и двигаться вперед, государству и обществу необходимо его оценить и осудить. Репрессиям советского времени в России до сих пор не дана единая юридическая и этическая оценка, значимая для всего общества. В результате молчания о прошлом, отсутствия возможности и желания искать общий язык для разговора о нем, сегодня в одной и той же российской семье один человек может считать сталинские репрессии мифом и «поклепом», в то время как для другого это была ежедневная реальность. Но Россия не первая страна, которая сталкивается с подобной проблемой. Исследователь мемориальной культуры Николай Эппле впервые на русском языке рассматривает опыт других стран в работе с памятью о государственных преступлениях. Описывая, как разные сценарии воплощались в разных политико-социальных обстоятельствах на примере Германии, Аргентины, Испании, Польши, ЮАР и Японии, Эппле намечает принципы, которые могут помочь России успешно изжить коллективную травму и преодолеть конфликт в обществе. Книга удостоена VI Публицистической премии «ЛибМиссия» в номинации «Аналитика» (2021).

As soon as the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, prominent independent Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar circulated a Facebook petition signed first by hundreds of his cultural and journalistic contacts and then by thousands of others. That act led to a new law in Russia criminalizing criticism of the war, and Zygar fled Russia. In his time as a journalist, Zygar has interviewed President Zelensky and had access to many of the major players—from politicians to oligarchs.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

The Roman Republic is one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Between roughly 500 BCE to the turn of the millennium, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America's founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.
