Russian national cultural identity: an attempt of study of the historical memory of young people in the Republic of Crimea
The article analyzes the phenomenon of historical memory on the example of the Crimean Peninsula, for which we used the instrumental possibilities of sociological research. The authors tried to determine the role of historical memory in the system of social values as an integral part of the national code and its influence on the critical perception of their own past in the formation of national symbols. As part of the study of historical memory, over 200 people were interviewed, inclusively young students; and the problem of using images of the past in order to mobilize supporters of the preservation and formation of a new cultural space of the Republic of Crimea was considered.
