Belarusian State University MEMORY POLICY OF THE NEWLY INDEPENDENT STATES OF CENTRAL ASIA (1991–2020s) Monography Syktyvkar FSBI FIC "Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences" 2026 252 p. The practice of post-Soviet national and regional historical policy is of undoubted interest to the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. This collective monograph analyzes the development of conceptual foundations for national historical policy in the newly independent states of Central Asia (the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and the Republic of Uzbekistan). It clarifies the historical, geographical and geopolitical concept of the region for this group of states, as well as the use of the phenomenon of “post-Soviet identity” in the formation of modern nations and states. The peculiarities of the social, geographical (geopolitical), and temporal characteristics of Central Asian historical policy are shown. It is noted that memory policy is shaped by the complex structure of various levels of historical memory: as a set of descriptions, ideas, and images of the past generated by the discourse of power; as collective everyday ideas of the past; and as an individual memory that connects an individual with the social strata. 10.19110/978-5-89606-693-4 There is an electronic copy komisc.editorum.ru
