Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Reflecting on the past is the foundation for national unity.In this context, it appears relevant to conduct research into fine art as storage of memory and a resource for the reconstruction of lasting images of the past.This article looks at the issue of cultural memory in Kazakhstan through the study of works of figurative art devoted to the history of the famine of the beginning of the 1930s.The authors examine how this topic was reflected in Soviet art, as well as at the current stage of cultural development.The forms of representation of cultural trauma as a metaphor and an affective experience are also explored in the article.Nowadays, monuments of grief perform socio-cultural functions that are inextricably connected with the development of national identity.
