Abstract

The article by the editor-in-chief of the Vlast’ journal raises topical issues of the deformation of historical narrative in contemporary political and scientific discourse, which resulted in real memory wars, especially around falsification of fundamental issues of the World War II. A serious answer is required based on unconditional, objective facts and documents. The author insists on using the rich heritage of domestic historians to preserve historical memory, considering this a task not only scientific, but also political one. In this regard, the monograph by Yu.A. Vasil’ev «Theory and Methods in the Russian Historical School: Theory of Historical Knowledge, Theory of the Historical Process, Psychological Direction», which presents the theoretical foundations of the Russian historical school is well-timed. Today it is necessary to use the ideas and concepts of Russian historians to overcome intellectual inertia and ensure a truly scientific reconstruction of the past.

Summary

Introduction

Автор настаивает на использовании богатейшего наследия отечественных историков для сохранения исторической памяти, считая это задачей не только научной, но и политической. Втечение последних двух лет на страницах журнала «Власть» продолжается дискуссия о феномене исторического, истории, исторической науки и, говоря шире, об особенностях гуманитарного знания, специфике реконструкции прошлого [Черняховский 2017; Асонов 2018; Бельков 2018; Васильев 2019]. Что развитие теоретических и методологических основ русской исторической школы происходило соразмерно эволюции интеллектуальной мысли в Западной Европе.
