The article deals with the problems of historical memory of young people associated with their representation of the Great Patriotic war. The author studies the peculiarities of forming citizenship and moral attitude by preserving the events of the war in the memory of young people. In the year of the 75th anniversary of the Victory, an attempt was made to characterize the "cultural code" of youth associated with the memory of the war. The survey was used to analyze ideas about war through literary works, cinematography, and visual art. The stated problem was studied by analyzing a pilot study in student groups. The object of the research was the generalized ideas of war that are available in the public consciousness of young people. The subject is the reflection of the events of the Second World war in memory through visual and artistic images. The task was to study the attitude of young people to the events of the war through their own opinion, interest, and emotional attitude to military-historical topics. As a result, it was concluded that a patriotic perception of the events of the war prevails in the minds of young people, despite information campaigns that distort history. In the public consciousness of young people there is citizenship, patriotism, respect for the history of their country.
