Summary/Abstract: The topic of this paper is a comparative analysis of the change in the culture of memory regarding the Spanish Civil War in Serbia and Spain during the commemorations of the beginning of the war in 1986, 1996, and 2006. The development of memory politics and its causes in both countries will be explored by tracking the activities of the Association of Spanish Volunteers and the type of support by Belgrade and Madrid to the activities of this organization. By analyzing various historical sources (press, archival materials, museum exhibition catalogs, resolutions, and interviews) and literature, it shall be possible to trace the processes of the evolving memory culture and identify the most important factors that have influenced such developments.
