| Summary / Abstract (Note) | IN THE 2010s, Russia attempted to revitalize the collective memory of the Great Patriotic War to fill the ideological vacuum created in the former Soviet Union by the latter's breakup in 1991. With support from Russia's presidential administration, events were held in various Russian cities from 2010 to around 2020 to mark the victory in the war. Those events brought together veterans and public figures from various Russian regions and other former Soviet republics. |
