https://doi.org/10.48137/23116412_2025_2_56
Abstract
The article is a continuation of the study of the historical policy of the Central Asian republics in the context of understanding the Great Patriotic War. The transformations in the interpretation of this topic after the collapse of the USSR are investigated, especially in the light of modern “memory wars”. The author focuses on how different approaches to memory politics in the region, driven by geopolitical factors, influence public opinion about the role and significance of war for the peoples of Central Asia. The impact of these processes on the perception of the overall contribution of the Soviet republics to Victory is assessed.
