Problem setting. In modern theoretical (as well as in political) discourse, the concept of «identity» is a very popular subject of study of completely different spheres of scientific knowledge - history, philosophy, sociology, pedagogy, psychology, literary studies, etc. The relevance of the study of the problem of identity in the modern world is conditioned by the situation of multiculturalism, the presence of signs ofasynchronous development of the world, the spread of mosaic and multiple identities. The reason for the author's interest in the chosen topic is also the aggravation of the identification processes in Ukrainian society and the urgent need to preserve the historically conditioned identity. The widespread use in science, in politics, in the media of this concept requires a clear delineation/definition of the defined concept, based on its close connection with the real social and cultural problems of society. Identity research is today an independent and advanced field of knowledge, and the very concept of «identity» has become a prism through which important features of modern life are studied and evaluated.Recent research and publications analysis. The problem of identity has been the subject of analysis in western science since the second half of the 1960s. She was approached by E. H. Ericsson, Y. Habermas, E. Fromm and others. In Soviet science, the concept of identity was not used, but in the post-Soviet sociohumanities it was actively studied. The most developed concepts of identity within the post-modern world belong to J. Habermas, E. Erickson, A. Etzioni, M. Castels, S. Huntington, V. Hesle, K. Hübner and others. For the domestic academic community, the problem of identity became urgent since the mid- 1990s, when the problem of national identity began to be actively explored in the works of E. Bystritsky, M. Golovaty, E. Glovakha, O. Zabuzhko, V. Stepanenko, V. Kremen, V. Tkachenko, M. Ovcharik, L. Nagorny, M. Obushniy, N. Pelagesh, Y. Rimarenko, A. Ponomaryova, M. Popovich, M. Stepiko, M. Shulga, T. Yashchuk and others. Modern scientific reflection on identity has proved to be sufficient, but this debate is far from over. The author considers that in the scientific space insufficient attention is paid to comprehending the theoretical construct «historical identity».Paper objective. The purpose of our study is to theoretical analysis ofscientific sources for the study of the concept of «historical identity», as well as its distinction as a theoretical construct of social and humanitarian knowledge, establishing its connection with other components of the identification process.Paper main body. The task to comprehending the the theoretical construct «historical identity» is conditioned by a revival of interest in the historical experience, in the historical past, which is caused by the loss of previous social identity, an urgent need for a new interpretation of history through a kind of «acceleration of time». History provides a resource for identifying identity: appealing to the study of history, to individual significant historical events, of historical figures aids the process of identification. The tradition of considering identity as a historical process begins with the G. Hegel 's philosophy of history, which applied this concept to the existence of an individual, entire nations and states. The identification process has both a spatial and a temporal dimension. The history of the people, nation, society is not just a calendar past, but a culturally sound interpretation of the events and activities ofprominent figures. Thus, historical identity is conditioned by historical memory. Historical memory, as a complex system, is a common conception of the past of a country, a nation, a person, which shapes socio-cultural identities. It serves both as the ability of subjects to retain the experience gained and as a result of a certain ordering of memories and experiences. Historical memory can be imagined as a kind of spiritual core through which knowledge and information about evolution, specific stages of development, conditions of existence and cultural potential of society (people, nations) are stored. It directly influences the understanding that is of the highest value for self-awareness and well-being in society, and provides identification processes. Historical memory is determined by identity, that makes sense of the experience of history, overcoming «polyphonic» interpretation of historical events based on the constant revision of history and its stereotypes with socio-historical memory. At the same time, history is one of the most effective factors in the formation of identity, since the historical past determines the relation to the present, which in turn determines the perception of the future. The historical identity of the subject is identified with its historical past. This means that for the social subject, including in the situation of identity crisis, there is always an opportunity to distinguish his past from another's past, to know and to know himself in his past. The structure of historical identity is shaped by mentality, historical experience, traditions, religion, national symbols, status of the mother tongue. The source of historical identity is the process of interpreting and constructing history. Constructing historical identity depends to a large extent on a well-balanced ideological strategy, on the controlled competition of interpretations of history.Conclusions of the research. Our studies have shown that historical identity is a component of sociocultural identity and at the same time is its foundation. The factor of historical (self)identification, along with national, ethnic, professional, racial, linguistic, territorial, geographical, confessional, regional, corporate etc., plays an essential role in the structuring of identity. In a generalized sense, the theoretical construct «historical identity» emerges as the essential correlation of the social subject with its past. The theoretical construct «historical identity» can be defined as an unfinished, unsteady, relational one that is actively constructed institutionally to form established, lasting bonds in society based on building a universally accepted version of a unified historical past. «Historical identity» is a continuous process ofupdating and supplementing our knowledge of our past in the search for historical identity. ; Статья посвящена осмыслению проблемы идентичности в период трансформационных изменений современного общества, проанализирована связь исторической идентичности и исторической памяти.

The analysis of the phenomenon of interpreting of the past history as a factor in constructing reality raises the interest of many contemporary thinkers. At the same time, in the modern world, the innovation is the use of historical memory and modern social myth to explain and construct the picture of the past. The power elites are actively using historical memory to form the image of the state and the nation, creating an official version of history in confronting their opponents in the international arena, seeking self-determination, positioning in the modern world, and most importantly - their own internal self-determination and consolidation.

The rule of pluralism of ideas of comprehension of the past acts as the foundation for purposeful development of society, as well as stave one of the sources for the formation of new social perspectives. An important factor in increasing the need for a new interpretation of history can be recognized as the "acceleration of time", the distance from the past, requiring its explanation.

The purpose of the article is to understand the specificity of historical memory and modern social myth as forms of interpretation of the past history, explication of positive and negative in their interaction and the essence of their influence on the state of consciousness of society.Paper main body. The transformational state of society is always characterized by attempts to reconsider experience, to rearrange the content of historical memory, to adapt it to temporal political interests. The content and semantic content of knowledge about the ancient times often depend on subjective aspects, are constructed in the present and reflect the vision of the experience of the community in favor of certain power elites of light. An analysis of scientific literature on the problems of historical memory can distinguish its essential features. The main characteristics of historical memory are its social determinism, the basis for the formation of individual and social consciousness, which is why it directly affects the historical public consciousness. It is a significant component of the axioms of culture, not only presents itself as a value, but also realizes the need to preserve the integrity of the domestic spiritual space. The basis of historical memory is the connectivity. It reproduces the heredity and continuity of social existence, despite the fact that in some periods it exists in a latent form and is actualized in certain historical conditions. For specific features of historical memory belongs selectivity, value color, tendency to irrationality, binarism, as a constant the process of memorizing and forgetting. Historical memory in modern political realities is not a constant. It is modeled and varied depending on the interests and tasks of political groups and parties.At the same time, the mechanisms of the mythologization of history, which considerably increases the importance of understanding the features of the myth as a form of interpretation of history, become of no less importance in the modern world. the most important properties of social myth as a form of interpretation of the historical past is its fundamental difference from the classical, archaic. The archaic myth was the basis of its creation folk art, aimed at protecting the family, people, the state, to preserve the health of man, people, country, nature, the accumulation of mass energy, which mobilized people for certain actions. The modern myth does not have such a clear positive orientation - the duality of its consequences lies in the fact that it can both consolidate society and threaten the absolute destruction of society. Among the main features of the social myth, researchers distinguish his artificiality, purposeful construction in the interests of certain social groups, in contrast to the spontaneously formed archaic myths; he is increasingly rationalized and ideologized. It is also important to note that modern myth has a purely functional, not cognitive value. Consumption as a sign of modern myth leads to the fact that he is not "burdened" by moral intentions.The modern myth has a dual character: the constructive role of the myth manifests itself in the ability to ensure the integrity of society. A destructive role manifests itself in its ability to radically change the cultural and moral guidelines of society. The technical capabilities of the information society, the excessive amount of information have become the cause of activating myth-making activity.Conclusions of the research. Historical memory and contemporary social myth as a form of interpretation of the past history have rather common features and influence each other vigorously. Also, their actualization and active inclusion in the comprehension of life occur in the crisis periods of history, when there is a need to overcome real or imaginary "breaks of being", to fill the fragmentation of scientific, philosophical, moral and religious searches. For us, it is important:first, the attraction of objective scientific research to the modern interpretation of the historical past, and secondly, their ethicization, filling the moral assessments of the events of the past from the standpoint of universal values of our time since they have a powerful mobilizing influence on the public consciousness and are really capable of changing the course of modern events.

Problem setting. Socio-cultural and political problems of contemporary Ukrainе gives the study of the axiological aspect of historical memory of particular importance and it ceases to be the peripheral theme of philosophical reflection. Without a clear understanding of the value added of historical memory, further socio-cultural design and forecasting is made impossible.Recent research and publications analysis shows that а significant contribution to the understanding and interpretation of the concept under study belongs to such Ukrainian scholars, which carried out quite productive steps in the theoretical understanding of a significant number of problems of the formation and functioning of historical memory, the determination of mechanisms for constructing national memory, its main features and its role in the process of identification of the Ukrainian people. Paper objective. The purpose of the paper is to define the concept of "historical memory", its structural and functional features and the an attempt to explicate its axiological aspect. Paper main body. The axiological measurement of historical memory has a dual detection. First, in certain periods of the history of a particular society, memory becomes unreliable, the causes of which may be a negative reaction to tragic events and historical facts, or ignorance, or (that is the most terrible) intentional neglect of history. As a result of such unconsciousness, the perception of historical memory gradually formed as an unconditional value, an important component of the axioms of culture, as a necessary condition for the normal functioning of society.The fundamental moments of the concepts of historical memory are: social determinism, the difference from the system of transfer of biological information, recognition of its basis of the formation of individual and social consciousness, its direct influence on the development of historical consciousness of society. The main functions of historical memory are: - informational; - identification; - organizational; - world-view; - value-orientated. It can be presented as a spiritual core, a "national genetic code" that preserves knowledge and information about evolution, specific stages of development, conditions of existence and cultural potential of a society (people, nation) and, having withstood the test of time, has become a value for this community. The axiological dimension of historical memory has a dual discovery. First of all, it must be noted that in certain periods of history in society there is a memory that resulted in the gradual formation of the perception of historical memory as an unconditional value, an important component of the axioms of culture, a necessary condition for the adequate functioning of society. Secondly, historical memory actively forms the value-semantic space of society, is a means of forming a system of values of society. The resulting values of life play a consolidating role in ensuring interethnic accord and civil peace, serve as the formation of the consciousness of the people and the function of preserving the original culture. Historical memory makes it possible to invent and transmit in time importantly integrative ideas, and most importantly - the values without which any community would simply come to a decline. Conclusions of the research. The topicality of the study of the value added of historical memory is conditioned by the need to preserve the integrity of the domestic spiritual space, the development of a stable immunity in society against the threat of the destruction of the existing cultural identity. Historical memory in the modern world, it is simultaneously as a determining element and subject of state policy, a factor in the construction of a political nation, a prerequisite or interethnic and interethnic integration or conflict. At the same time, historical memory is a means of retranslation of political values, which plays an ambitious role in the political process (as an object of political influence and as a means of political influence). It is possible to find the value constants acceptable to the whole society, if the very historical memory is perceived not as an arena of ideological conflicts and as a means of political manipulation, but as an unconditional value. ; Концепт «историческая память» составляет одну из основ самосознания человека, его идентификации в культурном пространстве.
