This article examines Polish-Soviet, and subsequently Polish–Russian, relations through the lens of successive bilateral efforts to address "blank spots" in the shared history of these two neighbors. Considered are the different institutional guises such attempts have taken, the events and topics scrutinized, the ways in which both sides sought to mitigate the negative impact of troubled pasts on the present, and how effective these iterative bodies ultimately proved in countering contentious historical legacies. Evaluated as well is the extent to which they were affected by wider political dynamics and how these influenced their ability to function effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
