Abstract
Technologically mediated communications are becoming an important source of information about the world around them, making up semantic landmarks not only of the present, but also of the past. The article analyzes the digital representation of Russian history in social networks in a creolized form. There are the most popular themes of historical memes: the peacetime of the USSR (18%), the Great Patriotic War (13%), the events of 1917 (11%), the Time of Troubles (9%). Most of the memes show generally accepted and well-known information in an ironic vein, but in 41% of memes the information is ambiguous or little-known. Based on the analysis of memes dedicated to the history of Russia, the most intense topics were identified, causing discussion in the comments (63%).
