Abstract
The central question of the article is whether the now globally widespread risk of miscommunication about authoritarianism and totalitarianism, which does not only concern historiographical developments, contributes to the creation of distorted and misleading memories of the present. This 'widespread' information increasingly comes into conflict with 'historical science', which is faced with the difficulty of maintaining a desirable distance from the object of study, especially considering that totalitarianisms and authoritarianisms have undergone transformations over time, while retaining certain ideological cores that oppose liberal democracy.
