Abstract

[The 1990s not only changed the map of Europe; it was a time of rediscovering “lost” memory and “white holes” in the pre-Soviet history of Central and East Europe. During socialist times Chernivtsi, a city in Western Ukraine, was a highly industrialized center with many state-owned factories, entrepreneurships and Soviet-style suburbs. After the Soviet Union collapsed, Chernivtsi became a national frontier on the intersection of Ukrainian, Romanian and Moldovan interests. The author analyzes the two-fold process of nationalization and heterogeneity demonstrated through the process of city center revitalization that took place in 2008. The author argues that the revitalization highlights not only tensions between differently oriented local politics but also various strategies of creating urban memory and identity in relation to subjugated and dominant cultures.]
