Abstract

The most important national patriotic education is the cultural history of the younger generation. One of the main components of the ancient culture of the people is historical memory. The memory of the past makes it possible to adequately perceive the present and plan for the future. Historical memory and its comprehension play a large role in the transition to civil solidarity in society, within the framework of the connection of generations, in the involvement of citizen-states. Commemoration plays an important role during the stay in the history of memory. The article shows the place of commemorative practice in the politics of the modern Belarusian state. It has been established that despite the versatility of memorial practices in the Republic of Belarus, the basis of commemoration is the victory in the Great Patriotic War, which had the greatest impact on the historical memory of the people.
