| Summary/Abstract |
The article studies events organized by the Russian authorities as part of the celebrations marking the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. The focus is on changes in the celebration plans due to the coronavirus epidemic, which made mass events impossible. The article analyzes the change of the target audience, the shift of the focus to the younger generation, the attempt to “extend the age of the participants” by emphasizing the contribution of the Home Front workers to the victory, changes in the exhibition at the Victory Museum on Moscow’s Poklonnaya Gora, reflecting new accents in the “great narrative” of war, and new trends in visual propaganda. Special attention is paid to the transformation of the Immortal Regiment civil event which went online. The article shows a connection between the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Victory and the domestic political agenda, primarily constitutional amendments, and foreign policy context.

| Summary/Abstract |
I worked on this article in 1993-1994. Published in Polis magazine
in 1995, it was the first part of a bigger project. The second article,
also published in Polis #2, 1996, analyzed the image of Ukraine and
Ukrainians in the Russian press after the collapse of the USSR. I
thought it would be useful to reread the article written more than
a quarter of a century ago, because some of the issues addressed in
them resonate with the current situation. In those distant days, the
John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation financed the project,
and colleagues from Lvov helped collect the material. The article is
reprinted unchanged and unabbreviated, but I have provided it with
some comments, which appear in the text as insertions in italics.
