Abstract
The current research shows how the Viking runic monumental tradition was important in identifying landmarks of past activity honoring the dead and combining past and present, thus playing a crucial role in defining historical memory. The Berezan runestone may essentially be considered as a fragment of memory about trade activity, as it serves to activate memories of distant places and the importance of the Eastern way.
