metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article shows historical memory as one of the key issues in the interdisciplinary field of social
  research since it determines socio-cultural and political aspects of the life of social groups.
  It forms the traditions and defines values necessary for the society development, accomplishes
  integrative function for the nation, ethnic group, accumulates experience of generations and
  enriches historical consciousness. However, the other side of historical memory as a significant
  factor of ethnic and religious conflicts is also highlighted. Firstly, historical memory has a
  conflict potential connected with identity of the social community (ethnic, religious, national)
  since self-perception of “we” always includes opposition to others, strangers, usually hostile
  communities. Secondly, historical memory could also mobilize for struggle. The traumatic
  aspects of collective memory are successfully used in ethno-confessional conflicts for political
  manipulation and tension escalation It is a time-consuming task to build new relationships, to shift hostility to a neutral phase and then to the stage of cooperation, equality and integration.
  Contradictory nature of historical memory requires a systematic approach to peace-making
  policy, to changes in views, to repressing aspects of ethnic and religious conflicts from historical
  memory. The article presents the results of sociological research aimed at studying different
  aspects of the historical memory of the Russian society and several post-Soviet countries.
  The study highlights the dual role of historical memory — ethno integration and division. The
  authors analyze the personified memory of ethno-confessional conflicts and its reflection in
  modernity resulting in the information wars, propaganda of enmity and mythologems about
  the heroes and victims of the lost past.
