Summary/Abstract: The study of the collective historical memory is a pivotal great instrument for the very understanding of the present. The memory - or the oblivion - of specific places, events, protagonists of history (called realms or topoi of history) indicates definitely the social tendencies - both as sources of its self-confidence and as deficiency of this self-confidence. The “choice of its own history” (heroic or traumatic) could reveal not only underlying social attitudes but also could demonstrate the mechanisms of the modernization process.
