Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to examine the language and discourse of comments made by readers of press articles concerning the World War II and post-war events that took place in today’s Slovenia. Both the comments placed under the digital versions of the articles and readers’ letters published in the newspapers Demokracija, Reporter, Časnik, Mladina, Delo and Dnevnik will be analyzed. On this basis, the media influence on the formation of collective memory and historical identity of Slovenes will be shown. Using this type of analysis, it can be concluded through the prism of which of the dominant discourses the contemporary media present World War II and how opposing discourses fight to legitimize collective memory.
