Автор анализирует, каким образом геополитические изменения в Европе конца XX века повлияли на историческую память и как переосмысление национальной идентичности на современном этапе отразилось в восприятии и трансляции темы «Вторая мировая война» в учебниках истории. The author studies how the geopolitical transformations of the late 20th century Eu-rope have influenced the historical memory and how the new reconsideration of national identities has been reflected in the perception and presentation of the World War II in the historical manuals.

The concepts of historical time are among the focal points in the perception and invention of national history. The concepts and categories of historical time were actualized among non-historical nations when the latter became independent actors of historical process. The nationalists played a peculiar role in inventing the idea of historical time in general when they were fighting against their opponents from other formally dominating groups. The Chuvash concept of historical time was formed by the Chuvash nationalists while the first attempts to invent the Chuvash historical time took place between the two World Wars when the Chuvash nationalistically-oriented intellectuals tried to separate the category of the Chuvash historical time from the Russian collective representations of historical time. The Chuvash Soviet intellectuals of the second half of the twentieth century developed a loyal alternative of historical time integrated into a greater Soviet-Russian historical context. The collapse of the Soviet Union and fragmentation of the common historical space led to the disintegration of holistic historical time. The Chuvash intellectuals of the 1990s and the 2000s tried to revive a national idea of historical time of their predecessors from the interwar period. The intellectual community of historians in Chuvashia consists of two groups of historians who cultivate either a national Chuvash or a pro-Russian version of historical time. On the one hand, the general uncertainty of the Chuvash historical time concept among intellectuals, on the one hand, stimulates the rise of historical pessimism. On the other hand, the historical situation in general has created a landscape for intellectual maneuvers. Therefore, the debates about historical time among the Chuvash nationalists still continue. The general trajectories of collective representations of transformations of historical time are still unclear.

За полтора столетия, прошедшие после создания канадской федерации, “страна кленового листа” проделала путь от самоуправляющейся колонии в составе Британской империи до одного из наиболее развитых государств мирового сообщества. Своеобразие канадского исторического опыта является плодотворной почвой для научных исследований. Неослабевающий интерес учёных к проблемам возникновения наций и национализма открывает широкие перспективы в области исследования канадской модели становления национального самосознания. Изучение данной проблемы будет способствовать выявлению механизмов формирования массового сознания, пониманию закономерностей эволюции политической системы Канады. Данное исследование представляет собой первую в русскоязычной историографии работу, непосредственно посвящённую изучению темы становления канадской нации в последней трети XIX – начала XX вв.
