Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the Resolution of the European Parliament “On European Historical Consciousness” (2024). Increased attention is paid to the so-called “common European” values, which in this international document are positioned as the basis for interpreting the past of Europe, as well as key guidelines for the formation of a European “culture of memory” and “critical” historical consciousness. The author comes to the conclusion that the attempts of the European Parliament (through strengthening self-reflexive public discourse) to promote mutual understanding and reconciliation within and between individual social groups, nations and states are doomed to failure in advance, since the proposed algorithm has a pronounced artificial character.
