In the past, these numerous myths (together with utopias) helped people to believe in the existence of a paradise on the Earth. The most popular of these myths are the myth of the victim, the myth of a hero fighting for ‘the peace in the whole world’, the myth connected with the figure of a Leader, Teacher showing how people have to speak, behave and act, the myth of the Great Patriotic War… The last one is especially well known all over the world because Soviet politicians always consider themselves winners who had regained freedom. These days the Great Patriotic War myth is used or even overused in the Russian Federation because people are looking for an event which could connect all former Soviet nations. Books written by Russian authors are the proof of this tendency.</p>}, number={4(55)}, journal={Politeja}, author={Duda, Katarzyna}, year={2018}, month={Jun.}, pages={225–250} }
