The article presents an analysis of the main theoretical provisions of the collective monograph “National identity and collective memory: between the past and the future” (responsible editor: T.A. Senyushkina; scientific editor: E.A. Senyushkin – Simferopol: N. Orianda, 2022. – 320 pp.) devoted to the problem of the relationship between national identity and collective memory from the point of view of the ideological projection "past-present-future". According to the author, the main feature of this topic and the relevance of the research associated with it is due to new technologies of controllability by identification practices using thoroughly developed and tested methods of manipulating both mass and individual consciousness. The author proceeds from the fact that identity and collective memory become the main cognitive and symbolic resources that are used in modern geopolitical conflicts. It is emphasized that in the conditions of the crisis of the world political system and the collective aggression of the West directed at the Russian state from the outside, there is an urgent need to stabilize the internal stability of the political system. In this regard, not only the authorities, but also the Russian academic community focused on the practical interpretation of such concepts as "national identity", "collective memory", "cultural code", "DNA of Russia", etc. In this regard, the reviewed monograph is of particular interest, since the main ideological message of the authors is precisely related to the consideration of national identity and collective memory in the context of their influence on the formation of adequate internal responses of society to external challenges. The author reveals the connection of the theoretical problem studied in the monograph with the current foreign policy agenda related to the formation of a multipolar world, which is becoming more and more distinct, at the same time shaking the foundations and changing the geopolitical space of the existing world. At the end of the article, attention is focused on the practical significance of the reviewed monograph, which aims at the development and implementation of such practices of personal and collective identification, which would be based on the coherent strengthening of the unity of values of the individual and society in accordance with the strategic goals of the development of the state, conditioned by national interests and priorities of social development.
