Abstract

Applying to the study of historical memory in the contemporary both Russian and Azerbaijan societies, the author explores how images of the past influence the national identity and political ideologies. The author argues that engagement of historical narratives with national history has become today a global trend so family memory, being one of the key sources of historical knowledge either in Russia or Azerbaijan significantly influences the perception of national past. Personalization of the national history through the destinies of relatives and friends gives persons more sensitive “historical optics”. So private memory is always sensitive to the official historical discourse, especially the post-memory of the heirs of eyewitnesses of dramatic events, for whom the participation of their loved ones in these events is part of their personal identity.
