WORLD WAR I CULTURAL MEMORY: A REGIONAL DIMENSION

Keywords: cultural memory, World War I, memorial, socio-cultural space, commemorative practices, national narrative.

Abstract

The article identifies the influence of national narrative and other factors on the process of forming cultural memory of the First World War. Based on archival materials, periodicals and memoirs of contemporaries, we’ve described the main stages of the formation of cultural memory of the First World War and its images in the official, scientific and social discourses.

In order to successfully create «a new cultural memory» about the Great War of 1914-1918, we have proposed a number of practical measures to establish «places of memory» at the regional level.
