Abstract
Based on the review of the methodological transformation in the world humanitaristics, which occurred in the last century, the paper discusses the peculiarities of the development in Russian historical science at the edge of the XX-XXI centuries. The spotlight is the actual problems of history and attempts of the Russian science to “embed” into the context of the new approaches. The paper highlights the civilizational approach and simplification of its understanding, as well as the interpretation of the complexity of “modernism” and “postmodernism” concepts in the sociocultural studies. The central problem is the problem of objectivity of historical knowledge in the glocalization stage and ways to its solution it in the context of the transition from the industrial to the postindustrial society. The scale of its value system is analyzed as a new milestone, which significantly modifies the methodological strategies of the historical science in particular, and the humanitaristics in general. Transdisciplinarity is presented as a new research base in the conditions of a changing paradigm.
