The Editorial Board of "Interstitio. East European Review of Historical Anthropology" - a scholarly periodical published by Rethinking History Center from Faculty of History and International Relations, Free International University from Moldova and Section History of Culture from Institute of History, State and Law, Academy of Sciences from Moldova in cooperation with Institute of History from Faculty of Social Science, University of Silesia from Poland - welcomes substantive articles on Eastern Europe from the perspective of Historical Anthropology. An essential aim of the Review is promotion of new methods, directions, themes of research in historical scholarship in the post-totalitarian space from Eastern Europe. The generic of the 2nd issue is “Historical Research and Political Ideology: from Instrumentalisation to Dialog”.

Resuscitation of historical researches in post-soviet space is a process as slow and difficult as the rehabilitation of the whole society. Currently, historiography in the region suffers from the over-abundance of ideology present within the discipline and the willingness of many historians to distort history in the service of politics. Thus, the process of recovery implies not only the “filling in” of so called white spots (i.e. areas/ processes previously neglected, repressed and silenced), but important methodological „adjustments” amplified through reorientation of the human dimension of historical scholarship.
