Abstract
The shaping of historical memory in Ukrainian society is accompanying with a set of problems, among which the most important is the problem of determining a person's own identity in a diverse and contradictory world; positive acceptance and respect for the choices of others, integration and consolidation of community, based on human values. Taking into account the fact, that the past continues to be the subject of political manipulations and means of social disintegration, an important task of a historical museum is social understanding and reconciliation regarding the controversial and sensitive pages of historical memory. To unite different versions of historical memory which exist in different regions of Ukraine and to reach consensus is a daunting task of society and museum as a social and cultural institution.
