We consider the main stages and aspects of the church's activity in this direction. The construction of the Great Patriotic War historical memory now occupies a large place in patriotic and civic education. The issues of historical memory and its differences from the actual history in Russia began to work with recently. We also consider various ways of preserving historical memory of the Russian Orthodox Church contribution to the victory in the Great Patriotic War in connection with the peculiarities of the source base. Also, in the conditions of limited actions of the Russian Orthodox Church as a full-fledged subject of law, in different periods of time certain types of historical memory preservation came to the fore. The main areas of activity in terms of preserving historical memory of the Russian Orthodox Church contribution to victory are identified. Among them we highlight the coverage of church activities in the official publication of the Russian Orthodox Church “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate”, the construction of churches in memory of the war, the biography restoration of repressed priests and believers during the war, co-operative work on museums and museum exhibitions, etc. We also reveal the correspondence of the work content with historical memory to basic Russian values.
