There have been analyzed the social time notion and dynamics, inter-connections between the past, the present and the future in peopleís views under conditions of long lasting social crisis. There have been presented the data of empirical research on historical memory of population, social and time self-identification of respondents; there was studied statistical dependence of image characteristics related to the future and personal everyday life.
