Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of the image of Peter I in the online literature. The author uses the concept of media memory to describe the phenomenon of the existence of collective ideas about the past in the media environment. He considers the culture of fanfiction as one of the practices of constructing media memory. Analysis of amateur art texts on the crowdsourcing platform "Book of Fan Fiction" (ficbook.net) revealed the ways in which Internet users build their attitude to history. The review of historical texts about the Peter the Great era showed that the user's ideas about Peter the Great are extremely mythologized, based on stereotypes that are overcome by the free interpretation and actualization of the facts of the past, with the help of images of modern mass culture.
