– human losses as the consequence of the implementation of the ideology and policies of communist regimes (crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide);

– material and environmental damage caused by the ideology, policies and economic system of communist regimes;

– (both successful and unsuccessful) attempts by communist regimes to establish communist polities in other countries (export of revolution);

– the social, intellectual and spiritual legacy of the actions, ideology, and undertakings of communist regimes aimed at exerting influence in countries that have formerly been under the rule of communist regimes as well as in other countries.

Scientific works can be presented in Estonian, English, Russian, German, French and Finnish. If the document is in a different language, a resume is required in one of the above languages. Materials for participation in the competition are accepted from 1 to 31 October 2018.
