metadata.value: The use of memorial topics in the normative and legal acts of different epochs since the 17th
  century and the allocation of memorial laws as a specific type of laws in the late 20th century is
  illustrated in the article. The author’s definition of memorial laws is provided as a special type
  of laws that regulate social relations which have been developing in the process of preservation
  or overcoming memory of specific historical events, they form positive or negative attitude
  towards these events and contain dispositive or mandatory norms regarding the possibility
  of interpreting facts and phenomena of the past. The reasons for updating the memorial legislation
  since the 1990s are revealed, such as the memory of two world wars, the collapse of a
  number of states, the emergence of an intercivilizational confrontation, and the existing postwar
  system of world order, which currently does not suit a number of countries. A typology of
  memorial laws according to the legal entity of legislative initiative and on the character of the
  norms being established is provided in the article. Both types and subtypes of memorial laws
  are shown. The article contains an overview and description of Russian and foreign studies
  devoted to the development of memorial legislation and its evaluation. Special attention to
  the analysis of scientific research in the countries of the post-Soviet space is provided. Various
  possibilities for using memorial laws as a tool to legitimize power are considered: the destruction
  of the old integration space with the collapse of states; building a new unified political,
  economic and cultural space which can be hampered by the events of the past; the weakness of
  state authority, which seeks to be justified by the events of the past; national movements, etc.
