How vigorous are memories of the revolution in eastern Germany and the Czechoslovak successor states, and how do they reinforce democratic politics today? In a vivid comparative review of the thirtieth-anniversary commemorations of the 1989 revolutions in Leipzig, Berlin, Prague and Bratislava, the article discusses the extent to which these events managed to reanimate the civic spirit of 1989 and how they alert to contemporary threats to democracy.

With its 'Kleio in Pandemia'-blog, the Imre Kertész Kolleg wants to draw attention to the complex historical and mnemonic dimensions of the current Covid-19 crisis. Drawing on our broad network of historians and other scholars originating from and/or working in Central and Eastern Europe, we hope to add another, and often underrepresented voice, to the ongoing intellectual debate about the wider meaning of this crisis for our present and future in Europe.
The book challenges widespread conceptions of Central and Eastern European countries as merely countries of origin. It sheds light on their experience of immigration and the establishment of refugee regimes at different stages in the history of the region.
