Review of the Book ?Peter I in Media Memory? by Denis S. Artamonov & Sophia V. Tikhonova

The subject of the review is a monographic study by S. V. Tikhonova and D. S. Artamonov "Peter I in Media Memory". The monograph consists of three chapters and fourteen paragraphs. Co-authors analyze in the first chapter ("Peter I in the Media Memory of the Digital Age") the influence of tradi-tional (radio, cinema, television) and new (digital, interactive, social) media on the collective memory. The second chapter ("Peter the Great in the Visual images of Media Memory") contains a study of historical anecdotes, cartoons, Internet memes, animated films, computer games. The third chapter ("Constructing the image of Peter I in the media environment") is devoted to the politics of memory and memorial wars around Peter I in comparison with the figures of media memory closest to him - Ivan the Terrible and I. V. Stalin. D. S. Artamonov and S. V. Tikhonova believe that in the 21st century, new media begins to play a major role in constructing the image of Peter the Great. The reviewed monograph is a truly innovative and searching study, which suggests methods and forms of analyzing the memory of Peter I in contempo-rary society that can be used in the study of other epochs, personalities, events of world and national history.
