Introduction. Decossackization is a complex issue of modern historiography of the Cossacks. The scientific relevance of the decossackization issue is caused by shortage of generalizing studies. The social and political relevance is connected with the Cossack Renaissance in modern Russia. It is possible to see a major boundary in decossackization, which divided traditional and modern history of the Cossacks. Methods. The author uses the method of analytical historiography, complex, structural and comparative analysis of historiographic sources, quantitative analysis of the nomenclature of studies. The bibliography statistics is received on the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) database. Analysis. Defining Decossackization: definitions, approaches, periodization. Soviet and post-Soviet historiography. The newest historiography of the 21st century. Alternative and expanded renderings of Decossackization. Approaches to how Decossackization should be determined in the legal systems of Russia and the USA. Determining Decossackization as the genocide of the Cossacks. Considering V.V. Putin and Patriarch Kirill’s expressed opinions on Decossackization; the influence of these opinions on the historiography in question. Emphasizing the topicality of researching Decossackization in the historical memory of the Cossacks. Most works on Decossakization were published already in the 21st century, but they amount to only about 1 % of the whole number of studies devoted to the Cossacks, which means that new studies into the question will be both topical and necessary. Results. The scholastic research into Decossackization stems from Soviet historiography. The post-Soviet period saw a wide range of opinions and suggested approaches to the problem of Decossackization. In the 21st century politicians, church leaders, lawyers, historians and the Cossacks themselves have reached a consensus on that Decossackization must be viewed as a tragedy. New researchers agree with the definition of Decossackization as genocide or a kind of cruel mass repression in the Soviet Russia.

The article examines the views of modern French researchers on the relations between Russia and the post-Soviet republics of Central Asia. This allows us to identify various interpretations of Russian foreign policy, and to understand the main approaches of French scholars analyzing the goals and tasks of Russian geostrategy in the region. As the article demonstrates, French historiography, along with the objectivist view on the Central Asian vector in Russian foreign policy, also includes works of ideological nature. Special emphasis is put on French works that focus on Russian political authors who speak of Russias neo-imperialism. These studies explain the Russian policy in Central Asia through the ruling elites ambition to resurrect an empire in the post-Soviet space and to return superpower status to Russia. Of special interest is the position of authors who try to explain the Russian attitude to the Central Asian region as, on the one hand, an expression of nostalgic feelings harbored by a great part of the population about the nations former greatness, assuming that these feelings have an impact on the leaderships policies, and on the other hand, as the Russian leaderships attempt to use Russias active return to the international arena for the consolidation and self-identification of society. It is observed that some French authors speak of a New Great Game. This very popular concept considers the actions of Russia and other powers operating in the region (USA and China) as a continuation of the historical rivalry between the Russian and British empires in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Russian authors have always been interested in French historiography; this is due to the latters scientific prestige and objectivity, and in particular its application of methodologies that further develop the tradition of the Annales School. At the same time, the growing French scholarship on the issue of Russia and post-Soviet Central Asian republics has not yet been subject to close and complex consideration, which defines the novelty of the article.

Full textAbstract:
Based on pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet sources and literature, using comparative his-torical, typological, chronological, systemic and retrospective general scientific methods, the arti-cle provides a historiography of the Caspian Flotilla. The beginning of this process dates back to the time of the existence of the medieval Old Russian state and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, dur-ing the years of their existence, trade and economic relations of Russia along the Caspian Sea with the cities and states of the Eastern Caucasus were being established. A significant place in Russian historiography is given to establishing the Muscovite state in the Volga and Caspian basins and the founding of the Russian fortress city of Astrakhan in the Volga delta, which contributed to the development of shipbuilding and shipping on the Caspian Sea and served as a prologue to the founding of the Volga-Caspian military flotilla. Much attention in Russian and Soviet historiog-raphy is paid to the events of the early 18th century, when Russia, under the leadership of Peter the Great, achieved especially splendid victories on the coast of the Caspian Sea. As the authors note, the conquest by the Russian Empire was because of the Persian campaign of 1722–1723. The Western Caspian has changed the balance of power in the geopolitical confrontation between re-gional powers in favor of Peter’s Russia. According to several authors, the Caspian flotilla be-comes important with the coming to power of Catherine II and subsequent Russian emperors. Of particular importance in the confrontation with Persia was the Treaty of Gulistan concluded with it in 1813 and the Turkmanchay Treaty of 1828. In subsequent years, Russia anchored the western coast of the Caspian Sea and the South Caucasus. At the end of the XIX-XX centuries the main base of the Caspian flotilla is in Baku, in connection with which the sailors of the flotilla were drawn into the events of 1905-1907, February-October 1917, the Civil War in the Caucasus, dur-ing which the Volga-Caspian flotilla was created. In the initial period of the Great Patriotic War, the Caspian Flotilla gained the status of a front formation. After the collapse of the USSR, the Caspian flotilla was divided between Russia and Azerbaijan, and the primary base was moved from Baku, first to Astrakhan, and then to Kaspiysk. Extensive pre-revolutionary, Soviet and Rus-sian historiography of the history of the Caspian Flotilla testifies to the importance of the Caspian Sea and the Eastern Caucasus in the geopolitics of Russia from the Middle Ages to modern times.

The article is devoted to a general historiographic review of domestic and foreign literature on the study of the problem of the use of female labor on railways. The subject of the research is the publications of pre-revolutionary, soviet and modern researchers on the issue of women's contribution to the development of the railway industry of the Russian empire in the XIX - early XX centuries. The author attempts to answer the question how the place and role of women in railway activities before 1917 in the pre-revolutionary and soviet periods, as well as after the collapse of the USSR, was assessed. The article concluded that the literature of the post-soviet period significantly expanded the scope of studying the problem, but still relies on the historiography of the soviet period.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Although there were some accounts of the history of sport in Russia in the early twentieth century, it was not until the early Soviet period that scholarly research began in earnest. The first extensive works on the subject in Western languages appeared at the height of the Cold War in the early 1960s. In the U.S.S.R. the majority of publications came from higher education sports institutions and predominantly promoted Soviet physical culture and the legitimization of the system. This article focuses on three main research topics: the beginnings of sports and modernization in late Imperial Russia; sport and physical culture as an element of the Soviet way of life; and Cold War politics and Soviet sports. Although a considerable number of studies appeared both in the U.S.S.R. and in the West from the 1970s on, the most significant contributions have come in recent decades. Not only has historical research in post-Soviet Russia and in the West been freed from ideological pressure, but this period has also witnessed the rise of cultural history and a concomitant increase in research on sports as a cultural practice.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses the main tendencies and peculiarities of functioning of certain aspects of Ukrainian-Polish relations during the Second World War in Russian historiography and journalism. The need to rethink the historiography of the Volyn tragedy in Russia is long overdue, so the role and importance of the identification function of historiography itself and the observance of the principle of objectivity in scientific and historical works have grown. Historiography provides a choice of research strategies, cognitive models, conceptual positions, and finally theoretical foundations for analyzing the past. In view of this, the purpose of the article was to synthesize and analyze the work of Russian scientists, to identify the main directions and to establish links between scientific and social discourses. The methodological basis of exploration was the principles of historicism, systematicity, objectivity. The methods of historiographic analysis and synthesis, genetic, problem-chronological, comparative, retrospective, predetermined by the research topic are used in the work. These methodological foundations allowed us to trace the evolution of historiographical discourse in Russia, its structural and institutional forms during the 1990s - the first decades of the 21st century. n historiography, given their mobility, are also subject to the method of description, that is, the disclosure of typical properties, features, differences, quantitative and functional characteristics. It is argued that the overwhelming majority of Russian authors portray Volyn events within the established post-Soviet narrative with correspondingly negative evaluations of the Ukrainian underground against the Polish population, describing them as genocide or ethnic cleansing. At the same time, the presence of a liberal trend in Russian historiography, which tries to avoid radical judgments, is noted. Negative Ratings and Plots: Volyn-related events regularly appear in the media, perpetuating the negative stereotype of a "Bandera" (and sometimes just a Ukrainian) in Russian society. The results obtained in the course of the study are actualized in view of the active use of the theme of Volyn events in the conditions of the Ukrainian-Russian war.

The subject of this article is the assessment of the history of establishment and development of arms manufacture in Russia in the period up to the end of the XVII century given by the Russian researchers. The purpose goal consists in conducting a historiographical analysis of the works of domestic researchers of pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet periods on the problem, and in formation of the general idea on the emergence of one of the critical branches of military industry in pre-revolutionary Russia. The author explores the initial period of firearms manufacturing in Russia and its geography; emergence and functioning of the Tula and Moscow arms factories in the XVI – XVII centuries; impact of the emerged in the XVII century blast-furnace hydraulic metallurgical plants and specialized arms manufacturing enterprises upon the development of the industry. The novelty consists in giving a new perspective within the domestic historiography on the problem of the initial stage of the history of arms manufacture in Russia. The article follows the evolution of arms industry at its initial stage, the regularities of existence of various forms of production organization and formation of centers of firearms manufacture. It is concluded that by the end of the period under review, the arms production capacities did not meet the actual needs of the Russian armed forces for firearms. The author makes recommendation on filling the gaps that exist in the history of arms manufacture in Pre-Petrine Russia.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of historical concepts developed by Soviet, Russian and Kazakhstan historians on one of the most debatable issues in the history of Russian-Kazakh relations, regarding the reasons and nature of Kazakhstan's accession to the Russian Empire. Soviet historians have done a lot to accumulate a factual base for studying Russian-Kazakh relations. However, following predetermined ideological theses narrowed the problems of research and obscured the complexity and inconsistency of the phenomena under consideration.
In the post-Soviet period, Russian historical science uses the latest methodological approaches to study the phenomenon of empire, requiring neutral assessments taking into account various aspects of imperial construction and imperial practice. Onedimensional damning characteristics began to give way to issues of historical experience of the Russian Empire, explaining how, in conditions of confessional diversity and multinational composition of the population, it managed to maintain stability for many centuries.
In the 1990s in Kazakh historiography, the concept of "voluntary entry" of Kazakhstan into Russia was radically revised with an emphasis on exposing the colonial essence of Russian transformations in the region. Over the past two decades, Kazakh historical science has been gradually moving away from unilateral radical assessments and political conjuncture, more balanced and justified characteristics of the accession of the Kazakh Steppe to the Russian state appear.

The aim of the proposed research is to analyze the works of Russian specialists devoted to the issue of color revolutions. The authors state that the overthrow of S. Milosevic as a result of the first such “revolution” in Serbia in 2000 was not promptly reflected in Russian historiography, and that issue really became relevant only after the orange revolution in Ukraine. In general, for a series of color revolutions in the post-Soviet space in 2003–2005 Russian science responded with a series of articles in which researchers, mainly based on the political science concepts of transitology and democratization, focused on the analysis of the internal causes and prerequisites for regime change in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. Since then, the understanding of color revolutions in Russian scientific discourse has evolved significantly, serious monographs have appeared, touching upon various aspects of that geopolitical phenomenon. In the course of the analysis of the most significant scientific articles and monographs, the authors of the article come to the conclusion that at the moment Russian scientific view has accumulated a significant amount of knowledge in the field of studying color revolutions, but the possibilities for further development of the direction in Russia are far from exhausted.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is animated by a single, seemingly simple, question: “What has happened to Soviet labor and working-class history?” The obvious answer is that it went the way of the Soviet working class. But to attribute changing scholarly interests or emphases to recent or contemporary Russian politics is too simplistic. It ignores too many other factors that impinge on why and how we study what we do. While the near disappearance of class from post-Soviet discourse certainly has had an impact on Western historians, I would suggest that both broader and narrower trends have been at work shaping our scholarly agendas. In 1990, just as the Soviet Union was in its last throes, Leo van Rossum published in this very journal an outstanding omni-review of “Western Studies of Soviet Labour during the Thirties”. A few years further on, “in the cold light of the post-Soviet dawn”, Ron Suny and I searched Soviet history for its working class. It is time once again to revisit this terrain.

The analysis of scientific literature devoted to the direct history of the first popularly elected government body – the All-Russian Constituent Assembly. In the study, the chronological principle of classification is chosen. Thus, five periods of domestic post-revolutionary historiography are presented, distinguished on the basis of a gradual increase in the source base, as well as an expansion of the range of issues studied in the context of studying the history of the Constituent Assembly. The general conclusion of the historiographic analysis was the increased attention of researchers to the election results, as well as insufficient coverage of the course of the election campaign itself. In addition, it is worth noting the obvious influence of ideology on the shift in emphasis and research goals throughout the entire Soviet period, which manifested itself in the clear predominance of studying the activities of the Bolshevik party, while the issues of election campaigns of the entire spectrum of political forces are underrepresented.

The article draws attention to the problem of scarcity of historical and psychological research on the post-Soviet period of Russian psychology. Based on the analysis of the content of textbooks, dissertation research, and scientific publications, a conclusion is made about the insufficient coverage of facts, personalities, events, and factors of the formation of psychological science, practice, and education in the specified period. The paper notes the fragmented nature of the available data in publications devoted to individual personalities or subject areas and identifies the publications that can be regarded as laying groundwork for the development of the historiography of the period. It is shown that in recent decades the historiography of Russian psychology has mainly focused on the tasks of rediscovering and rethinking the pre-revolutionary and Soviet periods. Assumptions are made about the determinants of the historiographical gap of the period under consideration, including the following: the illusion of modernity in the last three decades; the historical and political incompleteness of the period; methodological and axiological unpreparedness of the psychological community for a holistic, open-minded, and multivariate discussion of the period. The objectives of the holistic panoramic historiography of the post-Soviet period are as follows: the identification of the main features of the context, factors of influence, events, microperiods, and leading personalities of the period; the identification of the main institutional changes in the organization of science, psychological education, and practice; systematization of the main advances and losses, innovations and contradictions. To solve the tasks set, in addition to traditional methods of documentary analysis being employed, it is proposed to actively use the methods of autobiography and interviewing living witnesses of the post-Soviet period. The difficulties of the historiography of the period include: the uncertainty of the temporal depth of the «beginning of history»; the need to substantiate the status of the event behind selected historical moments; the importance of choosing the proper historical, axiological, and methodological approaches to analysis and generalization; the recognition of the possibility of alternative versions of history in multiple interpretations of facts and personal assessments of contemporaries.

The authors of this article analyze institutions of the Soviet military justice system presented in both Soviet and Russian historiography. The main objective is to compare historiographical concepts of the Soviet and modern periods in connection with military tribunals. The study uses the comparative-historical method. Throughout the research, the authors have concluded that the historiography under consideration can be divided into two periods. The first lasted until the early 1990s, and the second one started in the 1990s and continues to this day. Most studies conducted in the first and the second periods are too descriptive. Scholars mainly list institutions of the Soviet judicial system. They do not consider grounds for the formation of these institutions or the factors that caused their later reforms. However, Soviet scholars describe in detail the facade of the judicial system, while post-Soviet scientists are able to document their observations in a free form. At the same time, the latter form two groups. The first group of researchers still believes Soviet courts were well organized and functioned effectively. The second group holds to an opinion that Soviet courts were an instrument of repression

The article is devoted to a critical review of historiography on the problem of the founding and the first decades of the activity of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. The article covers the works of Russian historians of science written from the 18th century to the beginning of the XXIth centuries. The article gives an analysis of the early historiography of the history of the Academy of Sciences (the works of G. F. Miller, I. D. Schumacher), the works of historians of the XIX century (A. A. Kunik, P. P. Pekarsky and others), as well as the works of the Soviet historians of science. Highlighting the works by Yu. Kh. Kopelevich, the authors emphasize the importance of the Soviet historiography of the foundation of the Academy of Sciences. It is shown that Soviet researchers in many respects continue the approaches outlined in the pre-revolutionary period. The article shows that in the historiography of the XIX-XXth centuries emphasize the importance of nationality in understanding the history of the foundation of the Academy of Sciences. In the XIXth century, the idea of Russification of the Academy of Sciences was formed as a basis for the understanding its early history. In Soviet historiography, this idea further developed under the influence of the ideological campaigns of late Stalinist times, although it acquired distorted forms. The authors of the article show thatalthough the post-Soviet Russian historiography of the foundation of the Academy of Sciences continues the Soviet one, in many ways, it offers not only new approaches to understanding of the history of the foundation of the Academy of Sciences, but also new research topics. Research into the founding of the Academy of Sciences became more specialized.

The historiography of any historically significant phenomenon goes through several stages in its development. At the beginning − it is the reaction of contemporaries to the event they experienced, which is emotional in nature and is expressed in a journalistic form. The next stage can be called a retrospective understanding of the event by its actual participants or witnesses, and only at the third stage there does appear the objective scientific research bringing value-neutral assessments of the phenomenon under study and belonging to subsequent generations of researchers. The history of The Russian Diaspora and most notably of the Russian post-revolutionary emigration passed to the full through all the stages of the issue historiography. The third stage of its studying dates from the late 1980s and is characterized by a scientific, politically unbiased study of the phenomenon of the Russian emigration community, expanding the source base and scientific research methods. During the Soviet period in Russian historiography, owing to ideological reasons, researchers ‘ access to archival documents was limited, which is why scientific study of the history of the Russian Diaspora was not possible. Western researchers also could not fully develop that issue, since they were deprived of important sources kept in Russian archives. Political changes in the perestroika years and especially in the period after the collapse of the Soviet Union increased attention to the Russian Diaspora, which was facilitated by a change in scientific paradigms, methodological principles, the opening of archives and, as a result, the expansion of the source base necessary for studying that issue. The historiography of the Russian Diaspora, which has been formed for more than thirty years, needs to be understood. The article provides a brief analysis of the historiography, identifies the main directions of its development, the research problematics, and defines shortcomings and prospects.

For the first time, a critical analysis of publications about Professor A.M. Shumlyansky was carried out for more than two centuries. Erroneous statements and errors are revealed; the gaps in Professor’s biography, which were subject to research, are indicated. The periodization of historiography is proposed. 1) Pre-Soviet period. In 1812 the first article about Professor was published. It is shown that the article has the character of a primary source, serving as the basis for the presentation of his subsequent biographies. 2) The Soviet period. During this period S.L. Sobol’s fundamental research saw the light. He introduced into scientific circulation and published a number of materials from the home archive of A.M. Shumlyansky. He described in detail his contribution to science. In this connection, he published a translation into Russian the second part of the Latin dissertation of Dr. Shumlyansky. 3) Post-Soviet period. On the one hand, a study appeared confirming the priority of Professor Shumlyansky, and on the other hand, an emphasis was placed on social history in the study of his biography.

The paper deals with the history of the Olonets metal works – one of the centres of military industry in pre-revolutionary Russia. It aimed to analyse the views of Russian researchers on the problems of military production at these plants and their role in providing the army and navy with weapons in the 18th – еarly 20th centuries. The works of the pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods were studied. The relevance of this research is substantiated by the need for an in-depth examination of such a phenomenon in Russian history as the military-industrial complex and its prototype represented by the military industry of pre-revolutionary Russia. The article is focused on the way Russian historiography presents the organization of military production at the Olonets metal works, their technical reconstruction in order to master the production of brand new types of weapons, as well as the role of foreign specialists and foreign technical, technological and organizational experience in this process. The study revealed some important features of the Olonets metal works operation: the use of the economy’s mobilization mechanisms for their creation, their role as a transmitter of military production experience to other Russian regions, the influence of non-economic factors on the existence of military industry enterprises, as well as the effect and significance of diffusion of innovations in military industry. It is concluded that the final period in the history of the Olonets metal works (late 19th – early 20th centuries) is poorly reflected in Russian historiography. In addition, the research points out the need for a comprehensive work on the history of military production at the Olonets metal works in general.

The article presents the problem of the split of the "Russian World" as a consequence of the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Russian Russian historiography is analyzed by the author, comparing the opinions of experts on the civilizational criterion in the modern history of the Russian people and the "Russian world" in order to create a generalized definition of the concept of "Russian World". The so-called "Putin Doctrine" is considered separately, understood as a set of state measures to consolidate the post-Soviet space on the principles of common security and common interests. The problem of the ongoing split of the "Russian World" due to the Ukrainian crisis is also analyzed. In his work, using historical-systemic and historical-synergetic methods, the author, based on the opinions of specialists from different branches of science, comes to a theoretical result regarding the topic under study. In the modern historiography of the issue, there is still no consensus on the final definition, which indicates the interdisciplinary complexity of the concept. But this especially testifies to the high relevance of the definition of the concept of "Russian World" for the formation of the national security strategy of Russia.

Рассматриваются основные вехи отечественной историографии истории предпринимательства крестьян Московской губернии конца XIX — начала ХХ века. Автором прослежены тенденции в изучении данной темы на соответствующих исторических этапах — дореволюционном, советском и постсоветском. В дореволюционной историографии исследовались условия и факторы становления и развития крестьянского предпринимательства, региональная специфика промысловой активности крестьянства. Советская аграрно-историческая наука преимущественное внимание уделяла социально-классовым аспектам, в частности динамике доходов и расходов крестьянского хозяйства, исследуемой в том числе с широким применением историко-статистических методов. В современных условиях историки стремятся к многофакторному междисциплинарному анализу социально-экономического положения подмосковных крестьян. В статье охарактеризованы научные труды и исследовательские концепции в отечественной историографии аграрно-крестьянских аспектов отечественной истории. В итоге автор приходит к выводу, что изучение крестьянского предпринимательства в России конца XIX — начала ХХ века в целом и Подмосковье в частности носило фрагментарный характер. Исследователей интересовали лишь отдельные аспекты предпринимательской деятельности крестьян, такие как мелкотоварное производство, промысловая деятельность, отходничество, земельная аренда, а также сбыт сельскохозяйственной и молочной продукции. The article treats major landmarks of the history of Russian peasant entrepreneurship in the Moscow Province of the late 19th — early 20thcenturies. The author analyzes the tendencies associated with the investigation of the issue at various historical stages: the prerevolutionary stage, the Soviet stage, the post-Soviet stage. Prerevolutionary historiography focuses on the conditions and factors pertaining to the development of peasant entrepreneurship, region-dependent specialization of peasants’ trade-related activities. Soviet agrarian history focuses on the issues of social status and class, including the dynamics of peasants’ income and expense, which are investigated via a number of historical and statistical methods. Modern scholars tend to analyze social and economic conditions Moscow peasants lived in. The article investigates research works and research concepts associated with historiography of peasant-related aspects of Russian history. The author concludes that the investigation of peasant entrepreneurship in the late 19th — early 20th centuries in Russia in general and the Moscow Region in particular is rather fragmentary. Researchers focus on some aspects of peasant entrepreneurship, such as small commodity production, seasonal work, land leasing, agricultural and dairy marketing.

Based on the analysis of the post-Soviet Russian scientific historiography, the system-forming directions of studying the confessional Soviet policy of the period 1929–1939 are determined, due to significant changes in confessional policy from the reorganisation of the Anti-Religious Commission under the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (b) (1929), the adoption of the resolution «On Religious Associations» (1929) and other transformations till the start of the Second World War, due to the expansion of the territory of the Soviet Union, where the previous stages of anti-religious policy had been not carried out. In view of the need to expand the field of historiographical sources, we carried out a thematic and synthesis analyses of the regional Russian studies of the history of the Old Believers, that do not have significant connections at the interregional level, despite the significant quantitative and qualitative growth of the thematic studies in the post-Soviet period. We have identified three general directions of historical development: the closure of Old Believer churches, repressions against clergymen, anti-religious agitation. The general tendencies within the framework of individual research subjects the most important problems and approaches to them are identified and characterised. The reasons are formulated allowing to consider the anti-religious policy towards the Old Believers as an independent phenomenon.

Full textAbstract:
Based on historical-comparative, typological, chronological, and systemic general scientific methods, the article gives a historiographical review of pre-revolutionary, Soviet and recent his-torical, and ethnographic sources, as well as literature on the family rituals of the peoples of Da-gestan. In the Soviet and Russian ethnographic tradition, these rituals are usually attributed to the rituals of the life cycle - birth, reaching maturity, changing social status, marriage, death, and bur-ial. Rites of the life cycle are a group of rites that mark the main stages in the life of each member of society. They have ethno-cultural significance, since they are directly related to local, in partic-ular, ethnic identity and act as an important mechanism for the formation and preservation of the stability of traditional culture. According to the author, pre-revolutionary historiography, present-ed by Russian and local Russian-speaking authors, was descriptive. Under the influence of the Marxist-Leninist ideology and the class approach in describing the phenomena of culture and life, Soviet historiography, represented by metropolitan and local ethnographers, was engaged in fixing marriage, family, wedding, maternity and funeral rites and customs of relics of ancient forms of family and marriage, pre-monotheistic beliefs, and party functionaries - the fight against obsolete harmful remnants and introducing new rituals into socialist life - Komsomol and no alcohol wed-dings, etc. Both Soviet and post-Soviet authors, describing family rituals, focused on clarifying the traditional layer and new customs. The latest historiography of family rituals pays attention to the transformational processes in them under the influence of globalization, modernization, and urbanization. Giving the nomenclature of historians and ethnologists of modern, Soviet and mod-ern times engaged in the study of wedding, maternity and funeral rites of the peoples of Dagestan, the author also conducts researchers of family life among other peoples of the Caucasus and Rus-sia.

The book by Alan Roe, visiting assistant professor of history at Loyola University, discusses the role of tourism for the Soviet and post-Soviet nature protection movement, particularly for the creation of national parks. The first part of the book is devoted to the problem at the “state” level, within the borders of the Russian Federation. The second part examines the role of tourism in the history of individual national parks in different regions—from Karelia to Chukotka. The final part discusses the ambitious projects of creating special protected areas and the difficulties encountered while implementing these projects, as well as in preserving already established parks during the post-Soviet decades. The monograph is based on a wide range of sources, including regional archives, personal archives of influential figures of the Soviet nature protection movement and interviews with them. The author of the review highly appreciates the work of Alan Ro as a study that fills a significant gap in Russian historiography.

Full textAbstract:
Representations of military exploits are commonly used as “building material” in the post-Soviet reconstruction of collective identities. In the case of medieval battles, the scarcity of sources as well as temporal distance has allowed the production of relatively liberal representations, making them adjustable material for supporting contemporary ideas and power structures. The Battle of Kulikovo provides an illustrative case study. It took place in 1380 between troops commanded by Muscovite Grand Prince Dmitrii Ivanovich and Mongolian Emir Mamai. In Russian national historiography the battle has been considered as a major turning point. One of the most central sources used by national historians has been The Tale of the Rout of Mamai, presumably originally produced at the turn of the 16th century. In this article the text is examined as a reflection of certain contemporary religious-political developments. It can be claimed that the dualistic approach of the text, which emphasizes unified resistance against an external threat, has been applicable in strengthening ideas of internal cohesion in the Grand Duchy of Muscovy, the Russian empire and the Soviet Union, as well as post-Soviet Russia, creating an anachronistically toned basis for the collective imagery concerning the battle.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of interpreting the initial period of gunpowder production in Russia, namely the period between the emergence of firearms in the country (late 14th century) and the beginning of Peter the Great’s reign (late 17th century) in the native historiography. The urgency of this work is defined by the importance of further examinationof genesis of the military industry in Russia at the initial stages of its development and by the necessity to summarize the accumulated material on this subject researchin the native historiography. The goal of the paper is to paint a holistic picture of the Russian gunpowder industry at the point of its creation and through the first centuries of its development. This goal can be achieved through completing the following research objectives: assembling a complete corpus of Russian studies on the subject from the pre-Revolutionary, Soviet, and post-Soviet period; subjecting these studies to a critical analysis; reviewing the progress of gunpowder production, as well as the production of gunpowder’s main components (saltpeter and sulfur), at different points of the industry’s early history; determining which factors served as the industry’s development drivers; illustrating how the public and private sectors were formed within the industry; pinpointing the impact of external factors on the industry’s emergence and development. Basing our study on the principles of historical accuracy and lack of bias we use such tools as analysis (including retrospective analysis), simulation, historical genesis review and timeline making. As a result of this studyit has been determined that due to the limited availability of research sources there is a lack of the Russian historiographers’ agreed views on many key aspects of the emergence and development of gunpowder and saltpeter production. At the same time, it can be confidently stated the dominant influence of Russian authorityas well as the impact of external factors on the processes of gunpowder productionformation and development in the examined period. The present paper is considered by the author to be the initial one in a series of publications devoted to the analysis of the process of gunpowder production development in the prerevolutionary Russia.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a publication of the letter from Vasily Vasilievich Struve (1889–1965), pioneer in the research of the Ancient Near East societies in the Soviet Union, to Mikhail Ivanovich Rostovtzev (1870–1952), the prominent Classicist, one of the first scholars in socio-economic history of the Antiquity in pre-revolutionary Russia. The letter was written during Struve’s post-graduate sabbatical in Berlin in 1914; it is stored in the Russian State Historical Archives in St. Petersburg. The document is significant due to its information on Struve’s stay in Berlin and on his contacts with leading German scholars (including Eduard Meyer and Adolf Erman), but it also touches upon a bigger issue. In the early 1930s Struve forwarded his concept of slave-owning mode of production in the Ancient Near East, which was immediately accepted into official historiography, making him a leading theoretician in the Soviet research of ancient history. It has been repeatedly stated in memoirs and in post-Soviet historiography that this concept and, generally speaking, Struve’s interest in socio-economic issues was opportunistic. His 1910s articles on the Ptolemaic society and state published prior to the Russian revolution weigh heavily against this point of view. The published letter contains Struve’s assessment of his future thesis (state institutions of the New Kingdom of Egypt) and puts its topic in the context of current discussions on the Ptolemaic state and society and of his studies in the Rostovtzev’s seminar at the St. Petersburg University. Struve declares the study of Egyptian social structure and connections between its pre-Hellenistic and Hellenistic phases his life-task, introduced to him by Rostovtzev. Thus, Struve’s early interest in these issues appears to be sincere; it stems from pre-revolutionary trends in the Russian scholarship.

Authors present an overview and analysis of publications of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods of the historiography of Soviet school everyday life. The authors note that in the Soviet period, a significant part of the scientific work focuses on the determining and leading role of the party in the field of school education, the promotion of advanced pedagogical experience in teaching and education, as well as solving the practical problems of public education. In the 1990-ies general education school and school everyday life become objects of interdisciplinary research for scientists representing various scientific fields: historians of education, teachers, philosophers, sociologists, culturologists, etc. It is noted that in the total volume of publications devoted to the everyday life of the school, teachers and students of the Soviet era, scientific works performed by historians make up an insignificant number. The daily life of the Soviet school and Soviet teachers becomes an independent topic for study by Russian historians and representatives of other scientific fields only in the early 2000-ies. However, historians still turn more often to the analysis of state policy in the field of school education, the training of teachers, school history education in the Soviet period, etc. The results of our analysis show that scientific articles, monographs and theses devoted to the topic of school everyday life and everyday life of a teacher of the Soviet era are much less than scientific papers on childrens everyday life. This circumstance, of course, determines the relevance and necessity of comprehensive studies of everyday life of Soviet school, especially on the materials of individual regions of the country.

The author analyzes the activities of missionaries from the Republic of Korea and the results of their work on Sakhalin in the post-Soviet period. The study is relevant due to the lack of research in Rus-sian historiography. The migration and religious legislation of the Russian Federation and the Sakha-lin region, which caused the successes and prob-lems in the activities of Korean missionaries in the 1990s are analyzed. The results of the activities of missionaries from South Korea, aimed primarily at representatives of the Korean diaspora, in the 1990s include a rapid increase in the number of Protestant religious organizations and their members actively involved in solving significant social problems of the post-Soviet transformation period (charitable, educational, educational activities of missionary churches). After 1997 the growth in the number of churches stabilized, however, the churches estab-lished by Korean missionaries in the 1990s are still active, defining the confessional image of the re-gion.

In the paper I have analysed the relations between Russian imperial policy, the history of the school and the biographies of the Armenian family Lazarovi in the context of the Armenian liberation movement in 18th and 19th century. I have followed how the colonial Russian policy changed the statute of the first Armenian private school in Moscow and Russified it – the school was designed to be orientated mainly to Armenian students and teaching European languages but was transformed into Institute of Eastern Languages. The task of the paper is to answer the questions what, by whom, and why certain aspects of the history of the school were silenced in the Russian, Soviet and post – Soviet historiography; why the question of the periodization of the Lazarev Institute for Eastern Languages still is not sufficiently decided.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the 21st-century English-language historiography of the Communist International. Contemporary historians are showing increasing interest in the study of this international organization. Three available conceptual approaches to this topic (“traditionalist”, “revisionist”, and “post-revisionist”) are considered and characterized, the works of historians from Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand are analyzed. The article demonstrates an increase in research interest in the Communist International. In a fairly large volume of studies, there are monographs and articles devoted to the organization both directly (the historiography of the Comintern, the activities of its sections around the world, etc.) and indirectly, i.e., to related issues such as the history of communism, in particular, and the left forces, in general, international relations of Soviet Russia, the communist movement in individual countries, etc. These studies touch on the period of the Comintern's activity from 1920 to the end of the 1930s, including several controversial issues: the impact on the policy of the national communist parties of the “The Twenty-one Conditions”, united front tactics, Bolshevization, Stalinization, and the Popular Front. The author believes that most of the studies (especially those published in the first decade of the 21st century) are based on studies published long before the 2000s, however, archival materials are being used in increasing volumes, which makes modern research more objective. This gives grounds for a conclusion about the revision of the historiographic tradition of the Comintern that existed in the 20th century: new approaches (“revisionist” and “post-revisionist”) entailed a change in emphasis and a revision of some established points of view. Authors adhering to these approaches rely mainly on modern literature (including Russian) and a wide source base represented by materials from both national archives and the Russian State Archives of Social-Political History.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the results of post-Soviet Russian studies of such negative forms of juvenile deviance in Russia in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries as crime, suicide, prostitution, and alcoholism. Despite the growing interest in this topic during the period under review, it did not fully take shape as an independent academic problem. In post-Soviet historiography, the prevailing conclusion is that the level of criminalization of the representatives of the age group under consideration increased during the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. Some authors associate this trend mainly with the effect of socio-economic factors (O.I. Pospelova, E.V. Mishina, etc.), while other researchers believe that such prerequisites for the deterioration of the criminal situation as the crisis of traditional values and social regulators, political instability, and Russia's participation in military conflicts were of no less importance (N.A. Zotkina, O.V. Harseeva, etc.). B.N. Mironov excludes the possibility of a negative impact of socio-economic processes on the criminal situation in the post-reform period. Some features of research positions are revealed in the explanation of the causes of the “epidemic of school suicides” at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The generally recognized prerequisites for this deviation can be considered the imperfection of the school education system, and problems in the family and in personal relationships with peers. S.A. Zavrazhin, M.V. Egorova and I.V. Sinova believe that one should also consider the disappointment in the results of the First Russian Revolution. A.B. Lyarsky names such factors of suicidal behavior as the peculiarities of the outlook of the Russian intelligentsia and participants in the revolutionary movement, protest, the “fashion” for suicide, the distance between representatives of different generations in a bourgeois family, and the age characteristics of schoolchildren. Modern researchers recognize the problem of child and adolescent prostitution in the pre-revolutionary period.

Full textAbstract:
This article reviews domestic approaches to the issue of the revolutionary committees in Siberia during the Civil War, e.g., their genesis, development, status, structure, forms, methods, activities, social and party composition, interaction with each other and the Russian Communist Party, the transfer of power to the Soviets and Executive Committee, etc. Soviet historians were unanimous in their positive assessment of the revolutionary committees as the organs of proletariat dictatorship that waged a relentless struggle against class enemies and defended the revolutionary progress. However, this approach resulted from the rigid ideological guidelines of the Soviet period. The collapse of the communist ideology liberated the domestic historical science from the comprehensive control of the Party and state organs. Post-Soviet historians expanded the range of methodological approaches and principles, which allowed them to take a new perspective of the Siberian revolutionary committees. They were able to clarify the motives behind the revolutionary committees, determine their place in the system of Bolshevik power, identify their relationship with higher Party and Soviet structures, reveal the level of education and qualifications of their leaders and members, etc. The topic of the Siberian revolutionary committees has received enough scientific attention. However, some gaps still remain, e.g., staff structure, the exact mechanism of their interaction with the Party, their influence on the political, social, economic, and cultural development of Siberia, etc.

Full textAbstract:
The Soviet diplomacy in the second half of the 1940s included the Russian Orthodox Church and its institutions of international presence in its sphere of activity. At that time the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) began to play a significant role in the Soviet Union's foreign policy. The Middle Eastern direction becomes one of the most significant areas of “church diplomacy”. The first visit of Patriarch Alexy (Simanskiy) to the Holy Land in 1945 was part of a “package” of diplomatic steps made by Soviet diplomacy in partnership with the Moscow Patriarchate in 1945–1955 to restore the property of the ROC in Palestine. The analysis of the documents on the ROC (State Archive of the Russian Federation, F. R-6991) and the materials on the foreign policy of the USSR Council of Ministers (State Archive of the Russian Federation, F. R-5446), as well as the extensive historiography of historical relations between Russia and the Holy Land, allows the authors to consider joint efforts to consolidate the presence of the ROC in the region. The research allows tracing the “birth of tradition” of foreign policy mission of the Moscow Patriarchate and its foreign structures, which became points of influence of the USSR in the post-war world. It allows one to reconstruct the social image of Moscow's “agents of influence” in the Middle East, both the new emissaries and the traditional agents of Russian influence in the region – the pilgrims and nuns of the Russian monasteries of the Holy Land.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the key aspects of the Soviet confessional policy regarding the Old Believers (from the moment of the organization of the Anti-religious Commission under the Central Committee of the CPSU(b), which was the central body responsible for the implementation of anti-religious policies and until the adoption of the resolution «On Religious Associations», which significantly changed the policy in the field of religion) in modern Russian secular historiography. In view of the substantial quantitative and qualitative growth of Russian historiography of the history of the Old Believers in the post-Soviet period, we have summarized regional studies affecting this topic in order to identify general trends and directions in the study of the history of the state confessional policy regarding to the Old Believers characteristic of the entire territory of the USSR. Two main directions have been identified: the study of the administrative pressure, the study of the anti-religious agitation. The most important problems were raised by the researchers of anti-religious pressure that are specific for a given historical period. Two approaches to the definition of anti-religious agitation are formed, which are characterized by the opposite assessment of its effectiveness.

The paper presents a review and analysis of the main trends in Russian and foreign historiography on nation building in the USSR and Soviet ethnopolitical issues in the context of a general consideration of the Soviet historical and political project. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the reasons for the country’s collapse and discussions on this subject in Russian and foreign literature. Key versions as well as objective and subjective factors are considered, including the significance of the crisis phenomena and actions in the sphere of interethnic relations, the rise of nationalism, chauvinism and separatism, as well as the strengthening of centrifugal tendencies. Further, the paper describes the main consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union and its historical lessons, as well as the results of the development of post-Soviet states during the last thirty years. In addition, the author analyses Russian public opinion polls on the dissolution of the USSR. The article points out how the centenary of the Soviet Union can be used to enhance patriotism and form historical memory in the Russian citizens in the context of the country’s current efforts to gather the “Russian world” and promote the Russian language and culture globally.

Full textAbstract:
The author analyzes the reasons for the hard return of Nikolay Matorin (1898-1936) creative works to Russian historiography of the post-Soviet period. She sees them not only in the withdrawal of Matorin’s works from libraries in the Stalin era, but also in the opinion of the modern academic community that he was only a “provincial propagandist of atheism”, a party nominee who was not engaged in research, who completely denied expeditionary collecting work, who sought to destroy ethnography and the science of religion, replacing it with a struggle with religious remnants. This opinion arose under the influence of some early post-Soviet publications, which appeared on the wave of an understandable desire to update Russian ethnography and this desire caused the denying of the right of Marxism to exist as a theoretical basis for research. The article is accompanied by the publication of three letters to the daughter of N. Matorin, written in the mid-1960s, shedding light on the appearance of the first publications about him.

Full textAbstract:
In the scientific literature on the Yalta conference of leaders of the three powers of the coalition there are no studies that reveal its naval aspects. Meanwhile, among the issues that had significance for the Soviet delegation, they held even if not the first priority, but were quite prominent. In the Russian historiography attention to these matters appeared only in the early 1990s, most likely because the Soviet side in negotiations had a negative impact on the formation of the post-war world order. Contemporary Russian historians are in line with the tradition, a feature of which was a lack of attention to the maritime policy of the Soviet Union, especially in the 1921 - 1955. It is clear, however, that projects of this scale, which required the mobilization of all resources of the Soviet state, creation of the most advanced shipbuilding and entirely new industries for the country and high-tech industries, could not arise in a vacuum. Behind this processes were certain political goals, and when the war began Stalin stopped work on the first "big shipbuilding program" though it did not mean that he refused them. This hypothesis is based and presented in this article.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of modern Russian historiography of criminal and political exile to Siberia. The authors consistently consider the main directions of development of post-Soviet studies, note, first of all, the great interest of historians in various aspects of the penitentiary policy and practice of the empire in Siberia, the features of the imprisonment of political and criminal prisoners. Further, a sharp drop in the attention of specialists to the history of the exile of the Social Democrats, and above all, the Bolsheviks, is stated, and vice versa — a significant increase in works devoted to the stay in exile of representatives of the Socialist Revolutionaries and anarchists. The publications on the history of the exile to Siberia of the Decembrists are analyzed, the content of the discussion about the evolution of their worldview, the role of “noble revolutionaries” in the political his-tory of Russia is conveyed. The authors also briefly analyze the main directions of publications of the Irkutsk collection of scientific articles “Siberian Link”, created back in 1973. It is concluded that the history of criminal and political exile to Siberia as a scientific direction in the post-Soviet period continues to develop successfully, acquiring new facets, replenished with specific studies and authors.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes how the problems of democratic transition are presented in modern textbooks on the history of Russia. The relevance of the problem under study is determined primarily by the importance of history textbooks for constructing a memory policy. At the same time, attention is drawn to insufficient coverage in the modern historiography of the transformations of the 1990s that is an important period of historical development. Presentation of Russian history in 1992-1999 in textbooks has been analyzed in comparison with expert evaluations of economists, sociologists and political scientists.
The authors conclude that there are different interpretations of the problems of post-Soviet democratic transition in textbooks for the 10th grade on the history of Russia. In particular, in one textbook 1990s completely correspond to the current image of the “likhie 90s” (the hard 90s). In another one it is not only a time of great difficulties, but also an era of hopes and opportunities. But these differences are leveled, when economic and political development of the country at this time is appeared mainly in negative interpretation in the frame of the subsequent 2000s, which are presented as a time of success.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a historical picture of the behavior of Russia and Mongolia in the post-Soviet period on the example of Novosibirsk — the largest Siberian city, which is at the same time a trade, business, cultural, transport, educational and scientific center of the region. Despite the fact that the history of modern Russian-Mongolian relations is fairly well represented in Russian historiography. This study aims to partially fill this gap. The source base of the study was documents from the funds of the Novosibirsk City Archives (NGA), materials from the central regional newspaper "Soviet Siberia" and Internet resources. Novosibirsk was one of those Russian cities that took part in the intensification of Russian-Mongolian relations in the 1990s. and their fruitful development in the 2000–2010s. The most active Novosibirsk- Mongolian cooperation began to develop from the mid-1990s, and reached its peak in 2015, when Novosibirsk and the capital of Mongolia, Ulan Bator, concluded an agreement on the establishment of twinning relations between the cities for a period of five years ... An important moment in modern Russian-Mongolian relations can also be called the visit of Mongolian President N. Enkhbayar to Novosibirsk in 2006. First of all, trade, economic, political, scientific, educational and cultural ties, the city took an important place in the system of bilateral relations. Russian-Mongolian cooperation in Novosibirsk contributed to the fact that relations between states were built in the spirit of a comprehensive strategic partnership and continue to actively develop in this direction.

Full textAbstract:
The review is devoted to scientific and historical-journalistic works of the late Soviet and post-Soviet periods which formulate the original versions of the events of the Interregnum of 1825 and the revolt of the Decembrists. The elimination of the ideological framework of Soviet studies of the Decembrists emancipated scholarly research and made it possible to put forward previously impossible concepts and hypotheses. On the other hand, the same circumstance contributed to the emergence of conspiracy theories and other quasi-scientific or not at all scientific versions that are not based on the necessary sources, but appeal to a wide range of readers. As a result, modern literature has developed a contradictory variety of conceptual models of different levels and quality claiming to explain the events of 1825. This review offers an experience of understanding the existing range of concepts, versions and hypotheses in post-soviet historiography. It focuses on the main discussion topics: about the circle of contenders to the throne (whether it was limited to Grand Dukes or included the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna); about the position and role of the Governor-General of the capital Miloradovich and the existence of a general opposition or a conspiracy of generals who supported the transfer of the throne to Grand Duke Constantine; about the role of the secret society of the Decembrists and the officer conspiracy initiated by him in the Guards Corps; about other influential political actors (the Russian–American Company, the “German party”, etc.) presumably opposing the accession of Grand Duke Nicholas.
