Abstract

The paper analyzes the monumental embodiment of historical memory about the Civil War in Urals of 1920s - 1980s. The politics of memory of 1920s was aimed at consolidation of supporters of Soviet power through the commemoration of specific victims of white terror. The paper demonstrates that, along with the growth of cities, the monumentalism of memorials increases, the new monuments emerge at the locations of battlefields, and the number of mentioned victims increases. The authors conclude that monuments of Civil War in 1950s - 1980s became the way to emphasize the local identity of Ural cities.
