Abstract:
The article focuses on the need to address the issue of the role of history not only with the aim of
objectively studying the historical heritage of the people, but also from the point of view of the “historical
policy” of the state. The author considers "historical politics" as a mechanism for strengthening and
developing state sovereignty, influencing the development of national identity. The complexities and
features of approaches to the formation of "historical politics" are considered in the article on the
example of the Republic of Belarus.
