Historical Memory Homo Sovieticus in "Hybrid Ware"

Abstract: The historical memory of the people united in the social group Homo Sovieticus is outlined. It was argued that representatives of this social group represent the segment of Ukrainian society most vulnerable to propaganda influences, which is connected with the rejection of the process of rethinking the historical past and the image of its people. Discourse that exists in Ukraine today is what we call the «memory war», an integral part of the «hybrid war». Important issue in the process of overcoming this phenomenon is the pursuit of an independent information policy, so scientific institutions that have a stable level of confidence and offer the development of a system of objectively true knowledge of social reality and give a positive impetus to all forms of public consciousness, remain means of great importance.

Keywords: hybrid war, information confrontation, Homo Sovieticus.
