metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper identifies the specifics of contextuality in the Metro universe (in the book series and
  video games), and also analyzes the constructed phenomenon of “cultural trauma” in relation
  to the Soviet past. Based on the generalization of the obtained qualitative and quantitative data,
  the authors come to the conclusion that the image of the state and historical symbols have great
  pragmatic potential, opportunities for ideological and value construction, however, the ideological
  component has a differentiated support among the population. The narratives through which the
  creators of the main segment of the Metro universe position the Soviet past are aimed at desacralizing
  the latter through a radical deconstruction of the positive system of ideas about the corresponding
  era, including the events of the Great Patriotic War, which acts as a “founding myth”
  within the framework of the memory policy of modern Russia. The latter suggests that the model
  of positioning the USSR within the framework of the game universe is aimed both at destroying
  the remnants of Soviet identity and at the erosion of in-group favoritism of Russians who perceive
  the events of the Soviet period in a de-ideologized way, as an empirical justification for claims to
  the special prestige of their own model of self-determination. The creators of the semantic core
  of the Metro universe do not so much represent certain events and fill them with socio-political
  meaning, as they retransmit ideological and value models created by others. It is important to
  note that the negative positioning of the Soviet period in this case was not built into the “past —
  present” dichotomy, within the framework of which modernity would act as the result of a return
  to a conditionally “normal” model of socio-political development.
