The author stresses the significance of the famous historian M. Ferro concerning the phenomenon of "historical memory" and "images of the past" common in mass conscience. With the help of "M. Ferros method" the considerable impact of solid entity of such valuable factors as ethnocentrism, ideocentrism, leadercentrism and eventcentrism on the historical image of the country and nation was stated.
