CHERNOBYL HYPERREFLEXIA: SOCIAL MEMORY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TRAUMATIC HISTORY

Abstract

Historical knowledge is prone to ideological distortion. It’s been 33 years since the tragic accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but we still do not know the true truth about the events and consequences of April 1986. This article is about the Chernobyl’s “cultural trauma”, comemorial of history, the glorification of the tragedy and victim patriotism in the context of the historical memory of Ukrainians.
