This article focuses on the factors inhibiting
a productive rethinking of the past

The rethinking of the past is understood
as a process facilitating the reconsideration
of historical meanings through adjusting
them to the expectations and values
of the contemporary society. The author argues
that in this process historical research
— as an important tool for encouraging
the co-existence of communities —
should fulfil certain social functions. Having
chosen the Lithuanian-Russian communication
space as a case, the author emphasises
the need to develop an interest in mutual
knowledge of cultures of remembrance
in this space. Outlining the strategies specific
to the prevailing cultures of remembrance
in contemporary Russia and Lithuania,
the author addresses the issue of their
proper relationship, as well as that of the
appropriateness of historical policy. The
criminalisation of certain evaluations of the
past and the academic dialogue between
historians are regarded as two opposite extremes
of historical policy actually existing
in the Lithuanian-Russian communication
space. The author stresses that research
