Abstract: Accepting the thesis that the political struggle is, to a large extent, a game the stake in which is the opportunity to impose on others its picture of the world as legitimate and generally accepted (P. Bourdieu), we can consider public actions devoted to pressing political issues as "moves" in this game, in which competing versions of the present, the past and the future are offered. The most explicit position of the group is expressed in the course of its public appearances (meetings, marches, etc.). The set of slogans, symbols, actions observed at every public action allows us to reconstruct the main narratives of the corresponding political force (party, movement). In the article, based on a quantitative analysis of the base of slogans and symbols collected on public actions in 2011-2016, it is determined how various political forces synthesize in their narratives and symbols the conflicting historical experience of the country.
