The purpose of the article is to clarify the role of local self-government bodies in the formation and implementation of the public policy of national memory in Ukraine.
The source base of the research was made up of the Constitution of Ukraine, laws of Ukraine and other normative acts of higher state authorities and local self-government bodies. The methodological basis was made up of general scientific and special research methods: induction and deduction, systematization and generalization, logical and structural-functional analysis, formal-legal, etc.
The article examines the peculiarities of the functioning of the public administration system in the field of national memory and the place of local self-government bodies in it as subjects of public policy. The regulatory and legal support for the activities of local self-government bodies, relations with state authorities, distribution of powers, decision-making mechanisms, forms of participation in political processes and public affairs management, etc. are analyzed. The current state of ensuring the formation and implementation of the public policy of national memory at the local and regional levels by local self-government bodies is revealed, the main directions of this policy in the conditions of a full-scale Russian war are analyzed.
As a result of the research work, a conclusion was made about the important role of local self-government bodies in the formation and implementation of the public policy of national memory at the local and regional levels. It was determined that Ukraine operates an extensive system of public administration, which ensures the solution of important social problems and the satisfaction of urgent public needs in the field of national memory. It has been proven that socio-political processes in the field of national memory, in conditions of full-scale war and threats to territorial integrity, play a particularly important role in the establishment of Ukrainian civic identity and are an integral component of ensuring Ukraine's national security.
