The methodological foundation of this research consists in comprehensive approach and activity approach, which make it possible to comprehend specific aspects of cultural security management as an element of the national security system. The research uses a riskologic approach, which reveals the nature of modern risks and threats to cultural security in the information society. A constructivist approach is used, from the perspective of which the interaction between cultural identity and historical memory of society is analyzed.
Findings
It has been found that historical memory is one of the factors that are able to ensure cultural security of society in the context of threats associated with the processes of cultural intervention, current geopolitical confrontation, during which information and psychological methods of destructive influence on the cultural identity of peoples are abundantly used. Therefore, in the system for managing cultural security of society, one should use a historical memory resource aimed at preserving the cultural identity of the people and transmitting it to the coming generations.
Originality/value
It has been substantiated that the growing geopolitical confrontation in the world and the crisis state of the spiritual realm of Russian society bring up the question of state responsibility for the cultural situation and the need to implement an effective national cultural policy. It has been established that only through the reliance on the cultural factor, crisis phenomena can be overcome and social stability and civil society consolidation can be achieved. The role of historical memory in the preservation of cultural identity of the people and ensuring cultural security of Russian society in the context of external and internal threats has been identified. In order to preserve and transmit historical memory, one should use all the structures responsible for the process of socialization of an individual: family, educational system, mass media, cultural establishments and leisure industry.

The paper uses the provisions of the theory of “path-dependence,” in which the effect of institutional inertia of society and its influence on the management institutes are studied. During the research of the specifics of the Russian model of state management of the process of formation and development of professional and qualification potential of the country, the provisions of the concept of power-property are taken into account.
