Austriacko-rosyjskie dialogi pamięci. Współczesne konteksty narracji historycznych o działaniach Armii Czerwonej w Austrii
Austro-Russian Dialogues of Memory. Contemporary contexts of historical narratives about the actions of the Red Army in Austria

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to define the specificity and current contexts of contemporary narratives regarding the actions of the Red Army in Austria at the end and after the Second World War in opinion-forming Austrian and Russian magazines representing various political options. The main hypothesis of the paper is that the analyzed narrative threads relate to or reflect the dominant paradigms in contemporary memory policies in Austria and Russia. The author also assumed that their frequency and content were significantly influenced not only by the anniversary events related to 1945, but also by current international politics. The article uses the method of critical discourse analysis of press texts published in 2005-2020, which were selected using the quantitative method of keyword research. The main conclusion of the study is the confirmation of the initial hypotheses and the conclusion that the Austro-Russian memory dialogue takes place primarily between the right-wing circles in both countries.
