 abstract = {Based on the findings of the French sociologist of memory, Maurice Halbwachs, the following article tries
to show how the Armenian traditional khachkar, or cross stone, is applied in the context of the monument
of Mother Armenia in commemoration of the Great Patriotic War, i.e. World War II. After a short introduction
to the character of the Cross-Stone (CS) and its contextualization within the realm of socialist ideology,
the practical impact of the CS is analyzed on the basis of the monument named Mother Armenia in
the capital city Yerevan.},
