   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Автор в представленной статье анализирует особенности и направления развития исторической политики как войн памяти в современных конфликтных обществах Ближнего Востока в контекстах Ливии. Предполагается, что конфликт в Ливии не только стимулируется социальными, политическими и экономическими причинами, но и противоречиями, основанными на взаимоисключающих представлениях о прошлом. Автор показывает, что войны памяти характерны как для отношений между странами региона, так и для отдельных обществ. Целью исследования является анализ роли коллективной исторической памяти Ливии как фактора, который стимулирует политические и военные конфликты в регионе. Новизна исследования состоит в сравнительном изучении войн памяти как фактора развития исторической политики и мемориальных культур в современных политически нестабильных и неустойчивых обществах Северной Африки и Ближнего Востока. В статье показано, что 1) различные видения и версии истории и прошлого Ливии стимулируют политические конфликты, 2) сирийские политические элиты вовлечены в процесс манипуляции с историей, что стимулирует инструментализацию прошлого, превращая его в политический ресурс, 3) войны памяти в Ливии стимулируют национализацию истории. Предполагается, что процессы строительства государство-нации в Ливии не завершены, что вынуждает правящие политические элиты использовать символический потенциал истории как мобилизационного ресурса. Предполагается, что история стала символическим полем битвы, а войны памяти стали универсальной формой развития мемориальных культур. Автор полагает, что 1) элиты активно используют символические ресурсы истории и продолжат эту политику в ближайшей хронологической перспективе, 2) гипотетически военно-политические конфликты могут быть урегулированы, что превратит историю в поле битвы, так как противоречия не могут быть преодолены полностью, 3) войны памяти могут стать универсальной формой внутренней и внешней коммуникации конфликтных обществ.</p>

   <trans-abstract xml:lang="en">
    <p>In the article the author analyses the features and directions of development of historical politics as wars of memory in modern conflict societies of the Middle East in Lybian contexts. It is assumed that social, political and economic reasons and by contradictions based on mutually exclusive ideas about the past also stimulates memorial conflicts in Lybia. The author shows that wars of memory are characteristic of both relations between countries of the region and national societies. The purpose of the study is to analyse the role of collective historical memory in Syria as a factor that stimulates political and military conflicts in the region. The novelty of the study lies in the comparative study of wars of memories as a factor in the development of historical politics and memorial cultures in modern politically unstable and unsustainable societies of North Africa and the Middle East. The article shows that 1) different visions and versions of Lybian history and the past stimulate political conflicts, 2) political elites of Lybia are involved in the process of manipulation of history, which stimulates the instrumentalisation of the past, turning it into a political resource, 3) wars of memory stimulate the nationalisation of history. It is assumed that the processes of a nation-state building in the region are not completed, forcing the ruling political elites to use the symbolic potential of history as a mobilisation resource. It is assumed that history in Lybia became a symbolic battlefield, and memory wars became a universal form of development of memorial cultures. The author believes that 1) the elites actively use the symbolic resources of history and will continue this policy in the near chronological perspective, 2) hypothetically military-political conflicts can be resolved, which will turn history into a battlefield, since contradictions cannot be completely overcome, 3) memory wars can become a universal form of internal and external communication of conflicting societies.</p>
