Abstract

The article presents an object of public area and also a national cultural monument and a cemetery – the Slavín monument. The author primarily analyses period documents and thus presents the historical-artistic and ideological (propagandist) side of the monument. Subsequently, the author works with the monument from the point of view of historical memory, forgetting and bending of history, while identifies the most significant shortcomings of the monument. In the last part of the article, the author analyses the legal regulation of the monument and offers options that would anchor Slavín as an urban dominant in the 21st century, both ideologically and artistically.
