The manifestation of historical memory in political practice

Abstract
We consider the manifestation of historical memory in the collective action by example of the referendum in Greece July 5, 2015 on the adoption of conditions of the financial assistance from the EU. The results of referendum are analyzed in historical context of Greece’s entry into World War II and its occupation by Axis countries, especially Germany. These events in the collective memory of the Greek society are associated with deep traumatic experiences that form specific patterns of perception and interpretation of contemporary social, political and economic context. We think that the historical memory becomes an important motivational factor that can influence social behavior. This factor can be initiated through an appeal in the public political discourse to the “places of memory” (lieux de memoire), one of which is the Greek national holiday Anniversary of “No” (Επέτειος του “‘Οχι”).
