Abstract
This article presents a study of the various forms of memorialization in the former USSR, tracing their roots back to ancient Russia and examining their prevalence in modern times. The article provides a detailed overview of forms of perpetuation, encompassing cultural traditions such as songs and bylinas, as well as religious buildings, memorial tablets, and memorial complexes. Technical terms are explained upon first use, and sentences are formulated with clear structure and causal connections. In contemporary times, the most prominent means of preserving historical memory are the eternal flames in urban areas, grandiloquent propaganda, and the practice of naming significant sites after the heroes of the homeland such as airports, squares, and roads.
