History as a cultural artifact

Abstract. The article develops the author's hypothesis that all historical events are essentially cultural artifacts and can be studied and reinterpreted by cultural studies in the appropriate perspective (in parallel with the actual historical analysis), which will allow a deeper and more complete understanding of the cultural conditionality of human social activity and the determinism of its behavior in cultural contexts.

Keywords. Culture, history, dynamics of culture, variability of culture, social conditionality of culture, cultural conditionality of human social activity, symbolism, tradition, motivation, customs, ideology, fashion.
