“…Due to the deliberate selection and organization of retrospective information at the depository institutions, memory and thus the historical consciousness of the society becomes an instrument of national development, ensuring the internal and external legitimacy of the state, political mobilization and consolidation of the society. According to [17], the establishment of historical ties between the people is also facilitated by the commemoration of public anniversary dates, which is a kind of emphasis on shaping a sense of the collective past. Undoubtedly, the historical connections and emphases that are formed in social culture are usually easier to detect than those that may act in the minds of ordinary members of society [17].…”

 Abstract: The research issue is the historical past of the ethnic group as the most important component of social consciousness, which determines the social life practices and serves as the basis for the solidarity in society and the ground for its purposeful development. A wide range of concepts concerning the attitude to the historical past as one of the most important components of collective goal setting, in particular, theories of mentality, interpretation of texts and conflict of interpretations, historical hermeneutics, and conceptual models of history are investigated. It has been proved that the concepts of the single picture of ethnological history disappear under the influence of the multicultural characteristics, when the exclusive right of historical evaluation and interpretation is lost, and the changing set of situationally significant fragments becomes a priority. It is revealed that in the conditions of pluralism of thoughts and ideas caused by the emergence of non-state social actors, enhanced migration flows, increased communication opportunities of the society and internationalization of higher education, the appeal of social actors to their historical past in order to support their social and cultural borders and to forecast new social projects is complicated. A number of objective and subjective factors of disorganization of national history memory are stated in the research
