Résumé anglais Jean-Marc Négrignat, Images of the twenties and thirties in Nadezhda Mandel 'shtam and Lidiia Ginzburg: implications of recollection. The works belonging to written memory of Stalinist years are called upon to play a reference part in the debates of Russian historical consciousness about the significance of this period. The article analyses the memoirs of N. Mandel'shtam from that point of view and draws from them a structured set of themes: the "illness" of society, of personality, of memory; the search for the origins of this "illness" in the "revision of values" and the betrayal of intelligentsia; Osip Mandel'shtam's poetry as spiritual resistance; finally, the experience of Bolshevism as a "negative lesson to the world". This vision is compared with Lidiia Ginzburg's analysis which gives an explanation of the intelligentsia's varying behavior: she describes how general mechanisms like adaptation and justification, the necessity of realizing one's creative potentialities, the coexistence of different value systems, have been working in the exceptional context of the terror years. The conclusion sees in N. Mandel'shtam a normative and axiologic approach, in L. Ginzburg an analytic and objective one, and asserts the equal legitimy of both for understanding an "extreme phenomenon" like Stalinist Bolshevism.
