Historical Consciousness of Young People in Europe at the Turn of the Millenium

The paper analyzes the general structure and coherence of the his¬ ; torical consciousness of young people in five clusters of European countries, using the results of the international study Youth and His¬ ; tory of 1995. The analysis suggests there are two main patterns of historical thinking and the construction of historico-political identity that the author calls works of historical progressivism and the forge of patriotism. These modernist schemes of thought, grounded in the conflicting perceptions of the nation, democracy and Europe, make historical consciousness ambivalent. The coherence of historical con¬ ; sciousness is somewhat lower in the countries of Eastern Europe, which can be explained by the impact of the "neuralgias" of the col¬ ; lapse of socialism and the discontinuity in social, political and cul¬ ; tural spheres as expressed in the ideological cleavages of that time. In the postsocialist Central-European countries on the other hand, this coherence is the highest, the fact that the author attributes to the radi¬ ; cal shift from the ideology of socialism and the domination of the cleavage traditionalism-occidentalism.
