“…Lenin's statue was demolished in Romania in 1990, the name of Lenin's Park in Ljubljana was changed to Argentina park, and Tito street became Slovenian street (Mihalic 2017), studies indicate that younger generations in CEE countries consider communist cultural heritage as a part of 'normal historical past' and don't show any ideological rejection of that (Stanciugelu et al 2013). Caraba (2011) and Preda (2015) consider communist legacy tourism as a new type of tourism towards redesigning tourism services.…”

Purpose - Tourism and FDI have contributed to a large extent to Central and Eastern European economies in recent decades. This paper investigates how successfully these two engines of growth have been stimulating the growth of these economies. Design/methodology/approach - Using a Pooled Mean Group estimation, this study investigates the short- and long-term effects of variations in the GDP shares of tourism and foreign investments on the economic growth rate. Findings - The results suggest that while tourism expansion is more effective in the short run, FDI has a significant positive impact on economic growth only in the long run. Originality - A new aspect of the present study is a comparison of the magnitude of the impacts of the GDP shares of international tourism and foreign investments on the economic growth rate in both the short and long run in the case of Central and Eastern Europe. Practical implications - Considering the economic structure of these countries, policy action plans for inclusive growth are suggested.

“…Evacuated abruptly in the turmoil of the 1989 events leading to the fall of the communist regime, the characters and the symbols of the communist past were naturally reinserted into the actual visual Romanian landscape, concealed "in plain sight" through online marketing. This paper aims to study the communist-style design used in clubbing posters, thus filling a gap in the research concerning the role of popular culture and of visual content in (online) memory practices, explored mainly through branding and advertising approaches Drașovean 2008) and contemporary art forms (Asavei 2016;Preda 2015).…”

This article explores a particular marketing trend operating online during the 2010s and consisting of promoting clubbing parties using communist-style posters. The first part of the paper is dedicated to the theoretical framework and approaches the study of the posters also as an alternative memory practice that digitally marked the online landscape of leisure promotion, participating in the making of a nostalgia economy. A socio-semiotic analysis is used for a body of 118 communist themed clubbing advertisements posted online between 2009 and 2019, where content analysis provided data that narrowed the duration of the aforementioned marketing practices to a time span of six years. Content analysis also yielded an overview of the most used visual patterns, while the examination of the production techniques showed that most of the posters displayed extensive digital alteration of the ideological insignia, consistent with the conversion of political icons into kitsch practiced elsewhere in Eastern Europe. These findings are put in perspective within the context of a generational change, while the posters could be the basis for future research under the framework of collective and cultural memory.

“…The results of the opinion polls reflect two types of nostalgia: endo-nostalgia, nostalgia for the past one experienced personally, and exo-nostalgia, nostalgia for a past not lived personally. 13 As my paper will show, exo-nostalgia -arising from parental influence, advertising, 14 art, 15 and "cool" bars, pubs and restaurants decorated with "red" symbols and serving drinks and dishes with "communist flavor" 16 -tends to idealize the image of the communist period among a growing number of today's youth.…”

This paper analyzes the contents of a pocket-sized booklet entitled Ghidul ilustrat al comunismului românesc (The Illustrated Guide to Romanian Communism), which was published to counter growing nostalgia for the communist era that is popular among Romania's young people. Influenced by family members and the media, the postmemory of Romanian communism among the country's youth tends to focus on the positive aspects of the communist period and ignore the crimes of the postwar regime. The guide provides a selective reading of the history of Romanian communism and identifies repression as its main feature. The critical visual analysis of the images in the guide identifies the various forms that repression took during communist rule. It targeted not only individuals but also entire social groups, who faced imprisonment on political grounds. At the same time, the repression took quotidian form as the regime extended its control over people's private lives and even their habits of consumption.
