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.
