Abstract

Historical policy is an important tool in the implementation of the policy of building national unity. The object of the article is the activity of the Russian state in the second half of the 15th century. on the formation of a new model of historical politics. The subject of the article is historical politics as a way to overcome the crisis of legitimacy and form a new state paradigm. The purpose of the study is to identify the conditions for the formation of a new model of historical politics, based on the principle of translatio imperii, as well as the forms of transition to this model. The key method is a comparative analysis of texts, ritualized actions and material objects, which, in their totality, constituted the basis of a new model of historical memory. The conclusion is that the main condition for the transition to a new model of historical memory has been determined. This is a contradiction between the new ways of exercising state power, and historical ideas about power and management, which have developed on the basis of the ancient Russian “patrimonial” tradition.
