Abstract
The paper presents main problems of representing the historical knowledge in the modern public space of Russia, which were discussed at the All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference “VI Yadrintsev Readings” held in Omsk in October 2021. Leading scientists of various fields of humanitarian knowledge (historians, geographers, culturologists, archaeologists, ethnographers and others), as well as specialists in archival, library and museum affairs from twelve regions of Russia considered the issues of myth-making in public history, the experience of preserving cultural memory and updating historical and cultural heritage, and more general problems related to traditional and modern interpretations of the concepts of “local history”, “local historian” and “amateur local historian”. It has been proposed to understand the local history as the process of forming a multidisciplinary knowledge about the nature, history, economy and culture of a certain region aimed at popularizing the results in the public space and fostering love for a small homeland.
