Abstract: The article considers genre war cinema as a practice of commemoration. Through comparative analysis, the main characteristics and distinctive features of the film and series as actors in the space of historical memory are revealed. The study was carried out in an interdisciplinary field, using the methods of both historical analysis and visual stadies (theoretical, structural-functional and semiotic analysis of films; method of "competent observer"; comparison, generalization, synthesis). A comparative analysis of the film adaptation of Joseph Heller's novel "Catch 22" in the versions of the movie (1970) and the series (2019) is carried out. A review of approaches to the study of a military film / series in its relation to history is given.
Specific visual material illustrates such features of the series as: innovativeness of social viewing practices that correspond to the “behavioral map” of a person in the information society; the novelty of technical and economic solutions of the film industry; the specific narrative strategy (a combination of horizontal and vertical construction of the episode system, a variety of plot lines, complex spatio-temporal connections between the series and their parts); elaborate psycho-dramatic effect; the viewer's sympathetic "everyday" protagonist with situational behavior and a hypothetical moral imperative; a variety of audiovisual solutions, as a rule, focused on the "human-sized" perception of both individual episodes and the picture as a whole. The conclusion is made about the importance of war cinema in the space of historical memory due to its media and intertextuality.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the history of the Kostroma militia during the Patriotic War of 1812 and aims to clarify and detail the data of historiographical research on the regimental commanders of the Kostroma militia as one of the militias of the III district. Among the sources, documents from the collections of the Russian State Military Historical Archive, the Russian State Historical Archive and the State Archive of the Kostroma Region are considered. The documentary data are compared with the texts of the works of K.A. Voensky, V.R. Apukhtin, N.N. Vinogradov and others. The service records of the militia leaders are considered in the most detail. Archival materials are presented, which reflect the activities of the militia regiments in the Foreign campaign of 1813–1814. The generalization of biographical information made it possible to assess the military and managerial potential of the Kostroma militia. The analysis of biographical information on personalities, especially those related to military service before the campaigns of 1812–1814, aims to provide a reasoned assessment of both their personal merits and the overall results of the actions of the Kostroma militia. According to the results of the study of biographical information of the leaders of the Kostroma militia of 1812–1814, there are grounds for a number of conclusions. Firstly, the general command and militia regiments were headed by people with serious military experience: participants in the campaigns of the 1780s – 1790s, associates of A.V. Suvorov, participants in the military campaigns of 1805–1807. Secondly, among the commanders of military units there were persons with experience of civilian managers. And finally, it is particularly worth noting the full staffing of the militia regiments: from warrant officers to senior officers. This made it possible to put a man with military training at the head of each militia unit. As a result, the militia had high training and discipline, which was manifested in the Foreign campaign of 1813–1814 and when participating in military operations.

Abstract: The formation of a new historical memory with the transformation of commemorative practices in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is primarily aimed at rethinking old practices and introducing new memory mechanisms. This process began at the end of the twentieth century throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that in addition to the beginning of the formation of a new all-Russian historical memory, local manifestations of memory associated with local peoples and their culture are being formed. In this article, we will try to consider this process of changing historical memory, precisely using the methods of concentration of memory sites, with one of the clearest examples of commemoration – the Yakut khomus, which can be considered one of the national symbols of Yakutia. The main method in this work is the methods of historical memory research, namely the methods of studying places of memory. In this work, for the first time, an attempt is made to explain through the concept of places of memory of Pierre Nora, which place in the historical memory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is occupied by the khomus, which is one of the main musical instruments of the Sakha people. The Yakuts do not have such extensive musical instruments, compared with the peoples of Altai and Central Asia, the Yakuts are rich in oral folk and song creativity, which makes the khomus one of the main musical instruments of the people. The khomus, being a harp instrument, one of the oldest types of musical instruments, has passed through the centuries and has practically not changed its appearance, only technologies and production methods will be changed. The commemorative processes that occur with khomus are very interesting for scientists to study and consider.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the peculiarities of structuring and reproduction of cultural traumas in the environment of migration communities. Based on the national and foreign studies of migration sphere of the modern German society, as well as a series of empirical research carried out the author in two federal lands of the Federative Republic of Germany, analysis is conducted on the specificity of structuring and reproduction of traumas of cultural memories among the refugees and forcefully displaced persons, ethnic and work migrants. The author compares the peculiarities of representation of cultural traumatic experience in migration and post-migration society. The use of systemic approach allowed determining the structure and constitutive relations between the key components of the process of reproduction and structuring of cultural traumas in migration environment.

Abstract: This article examines the preservation mechanisms of multiple monuments of the Great Patriotic War in post-Soviet Armenia and the processes of reconsideration of their symbolic meaning for the commemorative practices of recent years. Shortly after the acquisition of sovereignty, Armenia has begun the process of reconsideration of the Soviet crucial events, which led to the fight against the Soviet monuments. Monuments of the Great Patriotic War are the only ones out of the Soviet monuments in Armenia that continue to be interpreted in the previous context. However, multiple monuments of the Great Patriotic War not only have lost their former role in the symbolic landscape of post-Soviet Armenia, but also completely neglected. Throughout the post-Soviet years, multiple monuments to the victims of Nagorno-Karabakh War and Spitak earthquake were erected on the territories of the monuments of Great Patriotic War, forming the pantheons. Based on examination of the monuments erected during the Soviet period dedicated to the victims and heroes of Patriotic War, its is underlined that these monuments and their territories were transformed not only on the physical, but also the symbolic level. Using the methods of observation and interview, the author clarifies the specificity of perception of the aforementioned symbols by the residents of post-Soviet Armenia in celebration of the Victory Day. Over twenty years, May 9 alongside the Victory Day celebrates the Liberation of Shushi and Day of Establishment of the Defense Army; thus, the reminiscence of the Great Patriotic War has gained the national content and lost its former dominant symbolic meaning in public memory. On the other hand, due to the emergence of new pantheons, have activated the subjects of commemorative practices of the recent years.

Abstract: The paper examines the question of tradition as it was raised by theoretical thought of the West in the XVII-XVIII centuries and then was being reconsidered throughout the whole XX century by leading scholars in the field of cultural (social) anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, memory studies, etc. The author of the article pays special attention to transformations in understanding of tradition occurred at the end of XX – the beginning of the XXI centuries, among which the issue in 1983 in Cambridge the anthology «The invention of tradition» (edited by E. J. Hobsbawm and T. O. Ranger) is emphasized. The methods of of theoretical cultural research are used, as well as the genetic method allowing to give the characteristic to the phenomenon proceeding from the features of its origin, and partly the approach of comparative studies are used. We make correlations between "traditiology" and memory studies as the same area of complex study of phenomenon of transfer of cultural information and constantly developed process of reconstruction of culture. We also trace correlation between “tradition studies” and memory studies as representing, in fact, the same area of interdisciplinary study of transmission of cultural information and constantly developing process of reconstruction of culture.
