Abstract

This study examines the relationship between public history and historical politics in Ukraine and their impact on shaping the historical consciousness of society. The objective of this research is to elucidate the interaction between public history and historical politics in Ukraine and its influence on the formation of historical consciousness among the Ukrainian populace. The study aims to highlight the importance of historical narratives in contemporary governance and the construction of national identity. The research employs a qualitative method, analyzing historical narratives, government policies, and public discourse related to historical events in Ukraine. It also examines the role of academic historians and the dissemination of historical knowledge through various communication channels. The study finds that Ukraine's historical policy plays a crucial role in shaping public historical narratives, particularly in response to Russian propaganda. The proactive engagement of academic historians with the public has helped counter disinformation campaigns and promote a more nuanced understanding of Ukraine's history among its populace. The study concludes that the relationship between public history and historical politics in Ukraine is essential for shaping collective memory, political identity, and national consciousness. It underscores the importance of historical narratives in countering external pressures and promoting an informed society.
