description The collapse of the socialist bloc and the transformation of the system of international relations in the 1990s became a catalyst for the emergence of new forms of search and expression of national identity. This process is inextricably linked with turning to the past, rethinking the experience of the 20th century, overcoming the traumas of collective memory and constructing new historical narratives. The issues of memory and the historical past have become especially relevant for post-socialist states, where in the 2000s. Various «memory institutions» began to be actively created, the first of which was the Institute of National Memory in Poland in 1998. Among such institutions, the National Institute of Memory of Slovakia, established in 2004, and the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes in the Czech Republic, founded in 2007, are of interest to the authors of the article. The declared purpose of the creation of both institutions is to tell the truth about the fascist and communist regimes, to reveal documents and to present a real picture of the history of Czechoslovakia in the second half of the 20th century. However, given the common historical past of the two countries within the framework of a single Czechoslovak state, it is interesting to compare the degree of influence of each Institution in shaping the historical agenda, as well as its features and transformation through the prism of changes in the overall socio-political situation
