Abstract:
This article intends to explore practices developed within the International Gathering of Military Vehicles ‘Caterpillars and Horseshoes’ in Borne Sulinowo – a former military base in Poland. Focusing on a specific event, I attempt to demonstrate how tourism provides remembrance activities. Because all the practices mentioned in the text below have been established as a result of and in relation to the post-military base, it is also significant to examine how tourist practices developed within the gathering are affected by the materiality of the site.
Keywords
memorial, military object, Poland, post-military space, post-Soviet base, remembrance activity, tourism
