This article includes an analysis of results of a research on collective memory, carried out by authors at the request of the National Centre of Culture (Ukraine, 2016) and within the project financed by the NCC (Poland, Ukraine, 2018). The analysis reveals the diversity of attitudes towards World War II and the communist/Soviet rule amongst the residents of four different regions in each of the countries, basing on the assessment of historical role and feelings of support or opposition towards the individuals and events of those times. The diversity of opinions in Ukraine turned out high. Integrated group of national heroes includes individuals from the times of revolution (1919–1921) and the dusk of Soviet rule, but not the World War II period. Whereas in Poland a larger integration of collective memory referring to the 20th century history is present, nevertheless big differences in the level of knowledge about individuals and historical events between the regions were observed.
