The problem of preserving cultural heritage is one of the “eternal”, always urgent problems of scientific thought. Currently, the urgency of this problem is reinforced by the fact that the era of vandalism and the deliberate destruction of cultural heritage has not disappeared at all. The so-called “cancellation culture” leads to such phenomena as the demolition of monuments to “wrong” historical heroes. The article is devoted to the phenomenon of the emergence and preservation of cultural heritage. It is shown that the cultural heritage itself is constantly changing during historical processes. It is demonstrated that intangible cultural heritage plays a huge role in the lives of countries and peoples. Reliance on cultural heritage creates the foundations of an ethnic group’s national identity. At the same time, professional artists have often created people’s cultural heritage in historically recent times. The article provides examples of the creation of cultural features of the Scots and Basques, European peoples with strong self-awareness. The features of preserving the cultural heritage are shown.
