| Summary/Abstract |
The longest living among its twentieth-century counterparts, the century-old cult of Atatürk is deeply rooted in the collective conscience in Turkey. In this essay, we will try to show the dual role of the image of Atatürk in the political struggle, both in current times and in the past, as a national hero created around civil religiosity. In the case of Atatürk, not only do we encounter a figure that primarily facilitates the legitimation of the existing political and social system, but also an eternal saviour who is called upon in order to oppose that system at various times.

| Summary/Abstract |
EVERY NATION has its own particular national features, but an important and unifying trait of each and every one of them is respect for its ancestors and the solicitous preservation of their memory, particularly if we are talking about those who died for their homeland. Addressing a sitting of "Pobeda" (Victory) Organizational Committee on 27 January, 2009, President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev noted the special significance of the war memorial effort and care of the burial sites and memorials of the war dead, pointing out that this is the shared task and responsibility of all the government bodies.

| Summary/Abstract |
Trần Hưng Đạo (1228–1300), the Vietnamese general who led troops to hold off Mongol invasions in the thirteenth century, is honoured across Vietnam today as a hero of the nation (anh hùng dân tộc). This ubiquitous representation has, however, come about only recently, having been crafted in the twentieth century. Prior to that time, Trần Hưng Đạo was honoured in other ways. This article will examine precisely how it is that Trần Hưng Đạo was represented and remembered in various works—from official histories to spirit writing texts—between the fifteenth and twentieth centuries. It will trace the transformations in these representations over time and argue that it was only in the early twentieth century that Trần Hưng Đạo began to be represented as a national hero. In its coverage of the transformations in Trần Hưng Đạo's representation, this article will demonstrate how modern nationalist ideas emerged in Vietnam in the early twentieth century.
