Розділ 14. КОНСЦІЄНТАЛЬНА ВІЙНА ЯК ЧИННИК ФОРМУВАННЯ ТА ТРАНСФОРМУВАННЯ ІСТОРИЧНОЇ ПАМ’ЯТІ

The priority of the information confrontation in the postmodern era is the change of the nation’s mentality and the deformation of the patterns of national memory, which is vividly reflected in the events of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Complex transformational processes in the development of the modern library system, the problem of determining its role and place in the protection of national cultural heritage, countering attempts to purposefully plant enemy cultural values to the Ukrainian state in the conditions of the complex use of information warfare’s means are given in conditions of the conscientious war.

The purpose of our scientific research is to reveal the essence of the sociocultural dimension of conscientious war (war for consciousness) in its components. This is an archaeological war and a falsification of history. To reveal and determine the potential of the functioning of library, archive and museum systems in the context of conscious war in the conditions of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

It is proven that archival, library and museum systems, as a traditional collector and translator in time and space of documented knowledge, a guardian of the national cultural heritage, become an object of influence and manipulation in the conditions of conscientious war. At the same time, they can and should be an effective tool of informational and psychological confrontation. The role and place of cultural heritage institutions in the war for consciousness – the archaeological war and the rewriting of history – is revealed. A number of forms of conscientious war in the confrontation of the Russian-Ukrainian war are characterized.

For the first time, an attempt was made to comprehensively analyze the role of archives, libraries, and museums in the war of consciousness. The tasks and functions of archives, libraries, museums as an effective tool for protecting the national information space in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war are specified.
