Using predominantly historical-genetic and comparative research methods, the problems of the influence of collective memory on the daily life of the religious communities of the European North of Russia are studied. Particular attention is paid to the various levels of memory associated with both everyday life of church life and the professional activities of the clergy. It is established that the functioning of memory is not without contradictions caused by the oral and written varieties of memory existence. Attempts to change it based on the changing actual needs of society have had a significant impact on the functioning of memory. To analyze the memory of believers, epic songs, Christian legends, historical traditions, and information from local church periodicals are used. The novelty of the work consists in using the latest achievements in the study of collective memory to study the memory problems of believers. The relevance of the chosen topic is associated with the growing importance of the institutes of religious life in modern society, which poses the humanitarian sciences the difficult task of their comprehensive and comprehensive study.
