This document appears to be page 33 of a Freedom House report discussing censorship and historical revisionism in authoritarian regimes, specifically focusing on China under Xi Jinping and Russia under Putin. It details how the Chinese Communist Party suppresses discussion of the Cultural Revolution, the Great Leap Forward, and the Tiananmen Square massacre, while promoting nationalism and Maoist imagery. It also draws parallels to Russia's rehabilitation of Stalin and contrasts these approaches with countries like Germany and South Africa that have confronted their difficult histories. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a document production for a congressional investigation.
