In academic writing, facts about the past generally require the citation of   relevant sources unless the fact or idea is considered “common knowledge:”   bits of information or dates upon which there is a wide scholarly consensus.   This brief article reflects on the use of “common knowledge” claims in   contemporary scholarship about women, families, and sexuality as experienced   during 20th century, East European, state socialist regimes. We focus on   several key stereotypes about the communist state and the situation of women   that are often asserted in the scholarly literature, and argue that many of   these ideas uncannily resemble American anti-communist propaganda. When   contemporary scholars make claims about communist intrusions into the   private sphere to effect social engineering or the inefficacy of state   socialist mass organizations or communist efforts to break up the family or   indoctrinate the young, they often do so without citation to previous   sources or empirical evidence supporting their claims, thereby suggesting   that such claims are “common knowledge.” We believe that those wishing to   assert such claims should link these assertions to concrete originating   sources, lest it turn out the “common knowledge” derives, in fact, from   western Cold War rhetoric
