The article explores the revival of anti-communism in united Germany after the fall of the GDR and the end of the Cold war. It argues that the specific way of remembering commu¬nism and its role in the XX century, that unfolded in the 1990s, has sparked a new wave of anti-communist resentment, which had lasting impact on political discourse and praxis. The author critiques the tendency of anti-totalitarian theories to equate communism with fascism and underscores the ongoing battle over historical narratives and their impor¬tance for symbolic power. Ultimately, the article argues that modern anti-communism continues to affect Germany’s political culture and national identity to this day.
