Большинство современных государств в той или иной форме осуществляют меры, подпадающие под определение политики памяти — комплекса мероприятий, направленных на утверждение определенного исторического нарратива и его инструментализацию с политическими целями. Ввиду возросшей роли исторических нарративов как инструмента легитимации власти правящей с 2018 г. левоцентристской партии Morena и её лидера Андреса Мануэля Лопеса Обрадора представляется необходимым рассмотреть влияние новой исторической повестки на политическую риторику на примере штата Юкатан. Юкатан, один из традиционно «правых» штатов, одной из ключевых характеристик которого является очень высокая доля индейского населения, в 2024 г. избрал губернатором представителя партии Morena Х. Диаса Мену, который, вслед за президентом, активно использовал исторические отсылки и аналогии в своей публичной риторике. Ключевым элементом анализа является фигура Ф. Каррильо Пуэрто, губернатора штата в 1922–1924 гг., и связанные с ней коммеморативные практики на разных уровнях власти, а также эксплуатация образа Каррильо Пуэрто в качестве инструмента легитимации власти Х. Диаса Мены и партии Morena в штате. В контрасте с официальной риторикой очерчивается проблема исторической памяти снизу, имеющей определенные расхождения с официальным дискурсом. В статье показано, как на локальном уровне в штате Юкатан воспроизводится прием легитимации через символическую и идеологическую преемственность действующего правителя и героев прошлого.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article deals with the question of instrumentalization of history in modern politics of the southeastern Mexican state of Yucatan. The vast majority of modern states implement, in distinct forms and by different means, various actions that can be comprehended in the frame of memory politics. The latter is a complex of governmental measures, the objective of which is to implement a perspective of historical progress in a given society and its specific narrative. All of the above can be instrumentalized with political goals. Considering the prominent importance of historical narratives for legitimation of center-left Morena party power, led by Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, which governs Mexico since the elections of 2018, it seems pertinent to analyze the influence of new narratives in the case of the state of Yucatan. This state, being a long-term and traditional bulwark of Mexican right-wing politicians, and characterized by a high proportion of native Maya population, is governed, since 2024 elections, by morenista governor J. Diaz Mena. Following the president’s example, he has begun to use the history and historical references in his public discourse. The study centers on the figure of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, state governor in 1922-1924, commemorative practices dedicated to him, and exploitation of his image in legitimation of Diaz Mena’s government. In contrast with official discourse this article proposes a brief review of collective memories from below, frequently in conflict with governmental perspective. This article shows the reproduction at local level of legitimizing practices based on symbolic and ideological heritage of the heroes of the past, whose legacy is carried on by the present governor.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Мексика</kwd><kwd>Юкатан</kwd><kwd>майя</kwd><kwd>историческая память</kwd><kwd>историческая политика</kwd><kwd>Morena</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Mexico</kwd><kwd>Yucatan</kwd><kwd>the Maya</kwd><kwd>historical memory</kwd><kwd>politics of history</kwd><kwd>Morena</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Косиченко И.Н.
