'''Historical revisionism''' is the practice of rewriting or distorting [[history]] in order to misrepresent past events, or radically misconstruing what an historical source states. This is often done for [[politics|political]] or [[propaganda]] purposes, for example falsely claiming that a respected figure had similar views to one's own or that a despised figure did not have similar views to one's own. In some cases, evidence contradicting the revised version of history is burred or destroyed.
