title = "Social Memories of Transformative Events in Post-Communist Latvia: Ethnic and Generational Dimensions",
abstract = "This chapter explores social memories of Latvian history in the 20th century. Focusing on the so-called {"}transformative{"} events, the authors summarize current theories on memory conflicts. They show how social memories manifest themselves in Latvian society across age and ethnic groups, drawing on evidence from national surveys. They also touch on the attribution of memory conflicts to the media space in Latvia, as well as Russia's influence on it. In conclusion, the authors discuss the possible future dynamics of social memories and their implications for the coexistence of diverse memory groups within Latvia.",
