Abstract
ABSTRACT The article deals with decommunization in Ukraine from 2014 to 2020, examining the motives and actions of the main actors of this policy and societal responses and recounting its most significant developments and outcomes. The decommunization in Ukraine in 2014–2020 was a successful, though belated, effort initiated at a time when Communist symbols had lost their original ideological sense as well as social, cultural, and political significance. The promoters of decommunization reanimated it and managed to contextualize it under actual threat from Russia to justify their policy, which they used to promote a nationalist narrative of memory.
