Abstract

The article considers the important problem of internal interrelation between collective memory and social myth-making in the cultural space. The ambivalent nature of the impact that a myth has on social values associated with the industry of memory is revealed. On the one hand, mythology helps society create its spiritual bonds and preserve valuable historical experience. On the other hand, the myth is actively involved in the management of values through the artificial construction of images of the past. Through the mechanisms of modern myth-making, more and more attempts of spiritual disorientation and reformatting of the cultural code of a particular nation are made.
