Abstract

One hundred forty recollections of Moscovites about the terrorists attacks at 1999 (Moscow) and 2001 (New- York City) were examined in the empirical study. The data obtained indicated that distinctiveness and stability of the recollections of historical events are related considerably to the factor of visual “crystallization” and significations by means of mass media. Reference of a historical event to a personally important area caused the decrease of the image quality. The subjects were more likely to rely upon the images artihcially created by mass media than upon the naturally experienced ones.
