The article highlights the parallels between the historiographical narratives developed in Greece and Estonia in recent decades on the existentially vital events of the 1940s. It shows that, despite the different and even antithetical political directions the two countries took during the Cold War, similar patterns may be observed. By examining these patterns, we can identify the similarities in the evolution of their historical consciousness and arrive at conclusions concerning the impact of political change in the public historiographical consciousness and the subsequent impact of this constructed consciousness on new political directions.
