I'm thinking about the phenomenon of what I call "reverse causality" where
the future event changes meaning of the past event. For example, the
collapse of the Soviet Union, makes us perceive past events of 80s and 70s
as signs of the collapse, while before the collapse, they were perceived
differently (e.g., as normal functioning of the regime). I think this
phenomenon complements future oriented prolepsis.
