THE DYNAMICS IN THE REMEMBRANCE WORK AND THE MEMORY ACTUALIZATION OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR AMONG MODERN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

The article presents comparative results of two studies of the children and adolescents on the theme of the Great Patriotic War, obtained in 2015 and 2020. The main sources of providing information about the Great Patriotic War for the young were and remain the family and the school. The increased role of extracurricular activities is due to a number of factors. New mechanisms for the Great Patriotic War commemoration have not yet supplanted the traditional ones, but have become an important information tool for them. The interest of children and adolescents in the topic shows that the issue of the remembrance work and the memory actualization of the Great Patriotic War is being addressed comprehensively, at the level of various institutions, and shows positive dynamics, despite the fact that we are talking about the events of a distant war, which will soon leave no eyewitnesses.
