The Legacy of the Second World War: Why Manipulate Memory?
Lecture 12. “The Legacy of the Second World War: Why Manipulate Memory?”, from the online course “The Road to Victory”, prepared by HSE University and the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, with the support of the Civil BRICS Council. Why has the historical memory of the Second World War become the subject of political disputes and manipulation? The final lecture of “The Road to Victory” is dedicated to preserving historical truth, honoring the memory of the Great Victory, and examining contemporary attempts to rewrite history. In this lecture: • the price of Victory and the tragedy of the Second World War; • more than 60 million victims of the war; • historical memory and collective consciousness; • communicative and cultural memory; • attempts to falsify and revise history; • the destruction of monuments and the "manipulation of memory"; • the role of literature, art, and the symbols of war; • the importance of preserving the truth about the war for future generations. You will learn how public perceptions of the past are shaped, why the memory of war becomes part of political struggle, and how the distortion of historical facts affects today's world and international relations. This lecture demonstrates that the legacy of the Second World War is not only a matter of history, but also one of the foundations of the modern international security system, international law, and humanistic values.
