| Summary: | This article features the contemporary politicy of memory in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), as well as the role of historical politics in the development of national memory and identity. Methodologically, the research relied on the principles of the memorial turn and memory policy within the paradigm of intellectual history and the history of ideas.

The author also analyzed the role of state strategies and media actors in the development of collective historical memory, as well as the role of state events in the local memorial policy, e.g., the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Sakha.
