ABSTRACT
The mnemonic communities are the most prominent examples among a plethora of similar endeavors. They propose new remembrance strategies and represent "milieux de memoire" through which the generation whose childhood is partially or wholly connected to the communist regime in Romania seeks to salvage traces of their personal pasts. Much of the remembering that is done online in Romania is the work of a generation that has spent a part or all of their childhood under the communist regime. Cultural and sociological debates in Romania have recently been centered on a re-evaluation of the "trial of communism", and institutions such as IICCMER have started using online strategies to revive anticommunist attitudes. As Maya Nadkarni observes in her analysis of similar practices in post-socialist Hungary: While the forms, practices, and structures of feeling found in contemporary nostalgia were quintessentially post-Socialist, the logic that propelled it was thus inherited from the previous era.
