这篇文章致力于东欧社会主义时代纪念碑的缺席和记忆遗迹。记忆遗迹是我在这篇论文中使用的一个隐喻，它将我们的注意力引导到纪念碑被移除后的物理缺失上。但它也谈到了一个纪念碑的作用，在缺席，它的继续存在和它的影响，集体记忆超越其物理存在。这一现象，零星承认，但很少在学术文献中的调查主题，探讨和说明通过透镜的删除V. I。里加的列宁纪念碑。我认为，缺席的纪念碑履行着幽灵纪念碑的功能，通过其对其他记忆项目的代表性价值，发挥着超越其物理存在的记忆作用。对在里加前列宁纪念碑遗址上拟建和已建成但从未揭幕的康斯坦丁·恰克斯特纪念碑的研究突出了这一点。
This article is dedicated to the absent presence and mnemonic remains of the socialist-era monuments in eastern Europe. Mnemonic remains is a metaphor I employ in this paper to direct our attention to the physical absence of monuments after their removal. But it also speaks of a monument’s role in absentia, its continued existence in and its effects on the collective memory beyond its physical presence. The phenomenon, sporadically acknowledged but rarely subject of investigation in academic literature, is explored and illustrated through the lens of the removed V.I. Lenin monument in Riga. The absent monument, I contend, performs the function of a phantom monument, exerting mnemonic agency beyond its physical presence through its representational value for other memory projects. This is highlighted through the study of the proposed and completed, but never unveiled, monument to Konstantīns Čakste on the site of the former Lenin monument in Riga.
