Just a little coda to Jan af Burén's contribution:
>...the regime has used the representation of the past to diffuse very
well-defined ideological messages to the populace at large."...
Striking examples of this have also been, to name but some, in Germany
1933-1945, the DDR, the Soviet Union, Ceaucescu's Romania.
More subtle manifestations can, of course, also be found today.
