Abstract

The article considers social memory as the most important integration resource in the Eurasian space, substantiates the importance of a sociological assessment of the state of social memory of the young people in the Eurasian integration countries. At the center of the proposed sociological analysis is the problem of the perception by the young generation of a number of post-Soviet countries of the image of the Soviet past and events of the twentieth century. The authors pro- vide an overview of the existing approaches to explaining the phenomenon of social memory, analyzing its structure and formation mechanisms, forms and methods of reconstructing social memory. The authors' original model of a sociologi- cal analysis of the social memory of the youth of the EAEU member states and candidates for accession to the EAEU is presented. With the use of this model, it is possible to give an empirical characterization of ideas about the common Soviet past, the Second World War and the role of the USSR in the events of those years, to determine the attitude of young people of member states to joining the EAEC and to the integration processes in the post-Soviet space, to assess the mechanisms of social memory formation. The theoretical research model proposed in the article is aimed at under- standing and explaining memory through meaningful symbols of the past and present.
