Abstract

Using the Slovenian case of rewriting the history of collaboration, this article attempts to demonstrate that recent European revisionism is based on an arhaic reconstructionist approach which claims that it is possible to reestablish the truth about past reality. It also tries to be an analysis of its local caracteristics based on its present and future centred orientation. Besides this author also tries to show that this kind of historical presentation, during period of transition of the political sistem, becomes a battlefield where political power may be gained.
