Abstract

The subject of the review is the monograph by D. S. Artamonov and S. V. Tikhonova "Peter I in the Media Memory". The co-authors of the monograph proceed from the hypothesis that in the XXI century the key role in the construction of historical memory begins to play the media. D. S. Artamonov and S. V. Tikhonova substantiate this hypothesis by examining the image of Peter I, created by the modern media environment. The first chapter of the monograph analyzes the transformation of historical and collective memory under the influence of various media and digitalization. The second chapter explores the specificity of Peter I image in the media memory. The third chapter is devoted to the study of the role of the image of Peter I in the politics of memory and memorial warriors. Among the undoubted merits of the monograph is the well chosen theoretical toolkit, which allows us to study the transformation processes, typical for the modern collective memory, on the example of Peter I image.
