Nowadays we feel and do the same things that our grandparents and great-grandparents did. The historical events of the 1920s in the USSR (the period of the beginning of repressions with dispossession of the kulaks and collectivization) were underestimated, and now we are in the new historical tragedy. The collective trauma in Russia has become chronic during these 100 years from the 20s of the XX century to the 20s of the XXI century. What can we do? We must return the memory of the past to ourselves and try to leave behind the memory of ourselves.
