Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the general structure and coherence of the historical consciousness of young people in five clusters of European countries, using the results of the international study Youth and History of 1995. The analysis suggests there are two main patterns of historical thinking and the construction of historico-political identity that the author calls works of historical progressivism and the forge of patriotism.
