Summary
Статья посвящена изучению роли исторической памяти о Великой Отечественной войне как ресурса «мягкой силы» Российской Федерации. Представляется, что в год 75-летия Великой Победы весьма актуальным «мягкосиловым» нарративом России является историческая память об событиях 1941–1945 гг. С одной стороны, создает трудности для осуществления политики «мягкой силы» России на данном направлении, а с другой – открывает большие перспективы для ее реализации и, как следствие, усиления влияния нашей страны в указанных странах.
