Abstract
Historical memory and national identity can be used as effective tools of the modern asymmetric warfare. Historical memory is considered to be a part of a complex system of collective consciousness, cultural, and historical traditions of the group. The main function of historical memory is transfer of experience and knowledge about the past to establish the basis of group self-identification, namely national identity. National identity is based on a number of narratives which exist in person's and group's consciousness. While investigating tools and mechanisms of informational warfare which can be effectively used in modern wars, it would be rather illustrative to see the massive use of propaganda weapons against Ukraine before and during the Russian-Ukrainian war (RUW).
