The application of the sociological method made it possible to reveal the essence of the implementation of the policy of memory in the case of a specific country and a specific example. The novelty of the scientific investigation is that in contemporary historical science, insufficient attention is paid to issues of political regulation and influence as on the history as a science in general, from the side of political elites in Russia. The results of the research showed that history as a science is subordinated to the influence of an antiscientific nature on the part of the state power, which uses history as a means to implement state policy with elements of the personality cult of the president.

The thesis is given according to which the negative impact on science is reflected in the cultural perception of the society of its past. |
