The past, as we know, is studied by historians. And the role the past plays in the present is the subject of public history, a young scientific discipline that has been rapidly developing in the last few decades. What makes up our ideas about the past, how modern art and popular culture influence them, what public holidays and popular TV series, as it is presented in literature and computer games - public history seeks answers to these questions in order to better understand how our world and ourselves work. “Everything is in the Past” is the first collective monograph on public history in Russian.
