ЛЕВЫЙ ПОВОРОТ В КОНСЕРВАТИВНОЙ МЫСЛИ Г.П. ФЕДОТОВА

The article is about an issue of combining two political vectors, conservative (right) and revolutionary (left) in the works of G.P. Fedotov. The research focus of the paper is on the philosophical anthropology of the Russian thinker. The author suggests considering the figure of the subject, which is the point from which the divergent political lines originate. G.P. Fedotov describes person in the interpretation of Christian anthropology, where the essential features are connection with the divine and rootedness in the historical. In such a system, the conservative position is associated with the protection of the individual from any encroachments by the “other”, whether it is the arbitrariness of the revolutionary crowd or the rigid organization of the pro-fascist states of Europe in the first half of the 20th century. The position of the revolutionary vector, traditionally associated with the left movement, is of a liberating nature, the source of which G.P. Fedotov also founds in the Christian anthropology. The category of alienation plays an important role in this case, both in the Hegelian interpretation (objectification of the world) and in the Marxist interpretation. Overcoming alienation by a historical subject in various variations is the conceptual point at which both the right and left political vectors converge.

TEORIA DA ATIVIDADE DE ESTUDO E EDUCAÇÃO MATEMÁTICA REALÍSTICA: ARTICULAÇÃO E POSSIBILIDADES

ABSTRACT: This paper is the result of a bibliographic review, whose research is of a qualitative nature and aims to verify the limits and possibilities of a theoretical articulation between the Study Activity Theory (SAT) and the didactic current of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). The Theory of Study Activity has its origins in Vygotsky's Cultural-Historical Theory, while Realistic Mathematics Education is a proposal by the mathematician educator Freudenthal. The theory about the activity of study relies on the foundation of researchers such as Davidov, Elkonin, Luria, Leontiev, and Repkin, among others, developed in Russian schools in the 1960s. In a short period, Freudenthal's approach appeared to be applied in Dutch schools. Both groups of researchers (Vygotsky and Freudenthal) were concerned with understanding the teaching and learning process: the Russians were focused on the development of the human psyche, specifically, of the child, while the Dutch educators were focused on the teaching of Mathematics in elementary schools. The research results indicate that there is a possibility of articulation between these approaches, especially in the teaching of Mathematics, since the SAT highlights human activity as a source for the development of humanity and that the teaching and learning process needs to consider the historical subject's culture; Freudenthal considers mathematics as a human activity and emphasizes the need to adopt practices that value the “rediscovery” of mathematical concepts through historical and cultural recovery.

ІСТОРИЧНА НАУКА В ТВОРЧОСТІ І. ФРАНКА: ІСТОРІОГРАФІЧНИЙ ДИСКУРС

The article is devoted to the study of the role of the prominent Ukrainian writer, philosopher and public figure Ivan Franko in historical science. It considers the works of historians, philosophers, literary scholars, and cultural critics of various fields: scientific, popular science, fiction, criticism, etc. as historiographical sources. The publications of Ivan Franko’s contemporaries, researchers of the Ukrainian PCP, independent Ukraine, and the Ukrainian diaspora are analyzed. The strengths and weaknesses of each group of historiographical sources are highlighted: access to sources of researchers in Ukraine; national principles and the lack of an ideological component of diaspora historiography; the class approach of Soviet scholars; new opportunities for researching the historical scientific achievements of Ivan Franko in the period of independent Ukraine. The creative heritage of the scientist is considered as an organic combination of historical themes, the principle of historicism with literary and artistic means of their coverage, development of his own view of the world historical process and Ukraine’s place in it. The author analyzes the main stages and directions of his scientific research, which reflect the evolution of historical consciousness and scientific approaches in his work. The article analyzes the works of Ivan Franko, which are characterized by a deep analysis of historical events, political changes and cultural development, as well as the impact of these studies on the development of Ukrainian historiography and the formation of national historical consciousness. The article examines Ivan Franko’s contribution to the development of historical science and his creation of a foundation for further research in this field. The study allows us to better understand the influence of Ivan Franko on the development of historical research and highlights the importance of his scientific development for modern historical science.

Creation of content for interactive multimedia projects based on the application of artificial intelligence

The main idea of the considered research is the development of interactive media elements, virtual panoramas and virtual tours on the historical theme of Ukraine with the help of generative artificial intelligence. For this, it is suggested to use Midjourney to generate images based on text descriptions. Then the generated images are combined in programs for creating panoramas and virtual tours. To organize joint work, it is suggested to use Notion space, a tool that will make development distributed, involve a wider group of specialists, making the interaction process more effective. The research considered is relevant in modern conditions, especially when the teams of educational and research organizations are forced to work not from the usual offices, but in conditions of temporary relocation in different regions of Ukraine and outside the country. The study offers an innovative approach to using generative art and virtual reality to create historical-themed virtual tours and augment artworks, providing users with a unique experience of interacting with historical heritage. Using Notion Space to organize collaborative work enables effective interaction between distributed teams and experts, improving development processes and knowledge sharing. The proposed research integrates technology, art and education, providing a unique platform for visual engagement with cultural heritage and history.

Perceptions of the Time of Troubles in Russian Social and Political Thought in the Late 18th — Early 19th Centuries

This article examines the changing perceptions of the Time of Troubles in Russian political culture between the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The author draws on the methods of the Cambridge school of ‘intellectual history’, represented by the works of J. Pocock and Q. Skinner, which allow the historical materials involved to be considered within the framework of the approach of ‘cultural glossaries’ and rhetorical strategies. The study focuses on debates about the ideal form of government, including historical plots of the Time of Troubles, in Russian socio-political thought of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including those based on historical plots of the Time of Troubles. The article demonstrates that the appeal to these plots was connected with the foreign and domestic political spheres relevant to the contemporaries, and with the attempt to change the form of government in Russia or the threat of its change from outside during the Napoleonic Wars in the early nineteenth century. The analysis shows that eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Russian authors reinterpreted the historical events and personalities of the Time of Troubles using the Aristotelian glossary of forms of government. The application of this glossary to the historical themes of the Time of Troubles in Russian social and political thought effectively ‘reinvented’ the history of the Time of Troubles. In this ‘invention of the Time of Troubles’, the themes of ‘tyranny’ and ‘tyrannicide’ and speculation about the most appropriate form of government for Russia emerged. It is concluded that the emergence of these rhetorical strategies in references to the Time of Troubles played the role of historical argument and evidence in favour of the Russian monarchy for eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century authors.

Пьеса на исторический сюжет «Кризанта» (1639) Ж. де Ротру: поиск новой трагедийности

The article deals with the features of the tragic conflict and the nature of the construction of the discursive-rhetorical structure of Crisante, Rotrou’s first play on a historical plot, while determining the place of this play in the genesis of the French classic tragedy. The main problem is identifying the paradigm of dramatic thinking of classicism, which is understood as the principle of building a conflict picture of the historical world in the tragedy. The structural-semiotic approach is used in the study as the major one: it helps trace the functioning of the sign-semantic structure, the organizing role in which belongs to the absolute meaning – Power (associated with the figure of the ruler, the image of the state, political interest, laws, behavior being determined by official roles, etc.). Despite the archaic features, primarily related to the understanding of the tragic as terrible, bloody (violence, a series of suicides), Rotrou, through turning to the historical theme and highlighting the contradiction between the rational system of the general and individual arbitrariness, raises political issues, thereby opening the way to Corneille’s theater. Among the authors writing for the theater of the first half of the 17th century, Rotrou was one of the first to discover the productivity of dramatizing the problem of power due to the semantically activated image of Rome as an example of ideal statehood and a person included in this order and comprehending himself in relation to it, as well as to make the problem of the ‘Roman’ the driver of a dramatic statement. The crime caused by passion and the retribution for it discursively and rhetorically unfold as the undermining and as subsequent restoration of a reasonably justified order. However, Rotrou could not extend this new principle of tragic conflict to the entire action of the play: the figure of Antiochus, the king of Corinth (acts IV and V), falls out of the historical and political context, explicitly contradicts the heroic semantics of the first three acts, so the finale affirms the triumph of violence, cruelty, and arbitrariness. Rotrou returns to the individual tragedy of passions, determined by the influence of the aesthetics of the 16th-century theater, which assigns everyone the role of victim or executioner. All this indicates the impossibility for Rotrou to create a political tragedy without the influence of Corneille.

Assessing text comprehension proficiency: Indonesian higher education students vs ChatGPT

AI has developed rapidly. However, AI research in applied linguistics in the field of language education in Indonesia still needs to be expanded to reading and writing skills. This research aims to explore students' skills in writing summaries and understanding the historical theme of the development of the Indonesian language with AI based on gender and university aspects. The quantitative method uses descriptive statistical analysis techniques, independent sample t-test, and Welch One-Way ANOVA. The research sample was 288 students from Makassar State University, Timor University, and Makassar Health Polytechnic. The results show that ChatGPT is significantly better at reprocessing text than students based on the aspects measured. ChatGPT outperforms almost every aspect of the assessment. However, in the MCT_Score aspect, the average for Universitas Negeri Makassar students is slightly higher than ChatGPT and the other two universities. Meanwhile, the Makassar Health Polytechnic almost matches the average ChatGPT score. Apart from that, the Universitas Timor average seems significantly different, with a score range of only 6.00 – 7.00. This research contributes to developing the Indonesian curriculum using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. The government can use these findings as a basis for making better policies to improve the quality of education. This research implies that Indonesian students have a gap in understanding texts compared to ChatGPT. The first implication is the need to revise and develop the educational curriculum. Therefore, future research can examine text comprehension abilities in more specific contexts, such as scientific texts, journalism, literature, or specific scientific disciplines. It can provide more detailed insight into students' strategies for overcoming difficulties in understanding texts. In addition, future research will be conducted on the broader impact of using Artificial Intelligence technology in language education on the development of student text comprehension and the potential social and ethical impacts.

ЖАВЛОН ЖОВЛИЕВТІҢ «ҚОРЫҚПА» РОМАНЫНДАҒЫ ТҮРКІСТАН АЙМАҒЫ ЖАСТАРЫ МЕН ТӘУЕЛСІЗДІК КЕЗЕҢ ҚОҒАМЫНЫҢ ОБРАЗЫ

For the past thirty years, writers of post-Soviet Central Asia, in addition to touching on various topics in fiction, have paid particular attention to presenting historical topics, thereby trying to show the causal relationships of traumas caused by (post)colonialism. Even though states have declared farewell to colonial power, the traumas preserved in society’s memory, remaining from the colonial trace, cause post-colonialism syndrome in various spheres of society. As its apparent signs can be highlighted, the facts that to this day, the Russian language dominates in society, representatives of the people have separated from their inherent national and historical identity, as globalization has grown, mixed identity, cultural and intellectual backwardness in sections of society, weakening of common values due to divisions of language and religion and that members of the society initiated to seek happiness in other parts of the world. Apart from colonialism, it has also been greatly affected by the causes and factors of globalization. Similarly, some writers, with the aim of decolonizing colonial thinking, present victorious events of history through their literary products as role models. In the twentieth century, to “awaken” the Turkestan region - the contemporary Central Asian region - representatives of the Jadidist direction made great efforts to promote sectors of society. Some contemporary writers interpret the reform activities of the Jadids through the novel to decolonize people’s minds by addressing the social problems of modern society. In the twentieth century, the Jadids raised funds to strengthen national potential and decided to train seventy students from the Turkestan region in Berlin. The students wanted to use the knowledge gained in the West in their homeland. The Jadids sought to develop Central Asia by supplying it with educational resources. The efforts of the patriotic Jadids on the path to enlightenment influenced the Uzbek writer Javlon Jovliev to write the novel “Not Afraid.” The novel depicts seventy students from the Turkestan region who were subjected to Stalinist violence for studying in Berlin and serving their country, and parallel scenes of a society consisting of “people who have been exposed to liver disease” describe images of students in an independent state in the 21st century. Since the novel is multifaceted, the context of the text points to different meanings. When the novel was published, many readers, the literary area, and the research community paid attention, but the novel’s discourse was not considered from a postcolonial perspective. This article examines the novel “Not Afraid” from the perspective of postcolonial criticism, receptive aesthetics, and new criticism.

Sujeitos históricos e ensino sob a ótica de Eduardo Coutinho: proposta para a formação de professores de história

Abstract This paper presents reflections on the contributions made by Eduardo Coutinho’s conversation films to outline reflections associated with the concept of historical subject, to be addressed in the teaching of history. This research presents a qualitative approach, applied nature and explanation, using bibliographic analysis, document analysis and systematic observations, from an ex-post-facto perspective. Coutinho’s films feature women, the elderly, blacks, poor, peripheral and northeastern people, in order to treat their life experiences with significance. The pedagogical appropriation of these films is relevant for the construction of a training process that is guided by the approach of the historical subject from conceptions such as those of the excluded/subaltern/from below and which is aimed at teachers who teach History in Basic Education.

THE RECEPTION OF THE CIVILIZATION IMAGE OF THE “WEST” IN THE HISTORIOGRAPHIC HERITAGE OF VLADYMYR ANTONOVYCH

The purpose of the study is to investigate the perception of the image of the “West” in the civilizational views and ideas of Volodymyr Antonovych in the general context of the genesis of the Ukrainian civilizational thought of the 19th century. The research methodology is primarily based on the principles of historicism, systematicity, scientificity, objectivity, as well as the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (historical-genetic, historical-typological, historical-systemic) methods. The scientific novelty lies primarily in the fact that for the first time we approach the problem of Volodymyr Antonovych's ideas about the “West” as a separate, self-sufficient problem. The article offers a clear vision of the civilizational views and ideas of this scientist. Conclusions. The article examines the views of the scientist on the issue of penetration of European influences into Ukraine.Volodymyr Antonovych’s contribution to the change in the Ukrainian intellectuals’ Slavic identity into European has been investigated. From this point of view, the main research papers and journalistic works by Volodymyr Antonovych on historical topics have been analyzed. Special attention has been paid to V. Antonovych’s diligent desire to conceal his views on civilizational identity. Therefore, a significant place in the source base of the study is occupied by the memories of students and contemporaries about the historian’s views on the European factor. Also, an important role in the article has been given to the analysis of V. Antonovych’s correspondence with his friends. As there wasn’t any cencorship in the letters, the scientist far more openly disclosed his views on the civilizational affiliation of Ukraine here, than in published scientific works or other public texts. The article proves the leading role of V. Antonovych in the process of introducing European identity to Ukrainian historians. This result has been achieved by the historian, not by directly proving the thesis of Ukraine’s European identity on the pages of historical works, but in the course of private communication with the trusted circle of his colleagues, students and followers. V. Antonovych was the first in Ukrainian historiography to overcome most Slavophile prejudices against the West and tolerantly interpreted Western European influences on the phenomena in Ukrainian history. The transition of V. Antonovych to European identity did not mean complete abandonment of Slavic identity: he considered the Slavic to be an integral part of the European tradition. It has been found that the historian unequally treated different constituents of Europe. He was especially revered by the Roman peoples (especially France), and he had considerable prejudices against the Germans.

Социальные медиа как арена конструирования исторической памяти

The paper focuses on the problem of constructing historical memory on social media. In digi­tal era, perception of the past is created by masses of Internet users who display their interpretation of history on social networks. The tools of reproducing the past are information fakes, digital photos and selfies, Internet memes, computer games, fanfiction and videos on historic topics, created by Internet users in enormous quantities. Social media are the arena where historical memory is shaped, as all information resources, including those on historical subjects, are accumulated in the digital space. Number of Internet users, skilled in digital technologies for producing information content, actively use them to create their own versions of the past and spread them among a broad audience. The specific characteristic of reproduced perceptions of the past on social media is their emotional nature, mythologizing and stereotyping. Users create their own versions of historical events that match the shared perception of the past that is associated with the stories and symbols of popular culture. New commemorative practices are emerging in social media as people immerse in the digital virtual space.

Between oblivion and resistance: preserving the ruins of the church of São José do Queimado

This article discusses the trajectory of preservation of the Ruins of the Church of São José do Queimado, in Serra, Espírito Santo. For this, it produces a reflection on the old district of the capital of Espírito Santo, as well as the oblivion and invisibility of its ruins that may be related to a conception of heritage forged in 1937 with the creation of SPHAN. With this, we seek to highlight the understanding that the fight for the preservation of a cultural heritage can move individuals to recognize themselves as historical subjects in the search for the recognition of rights.

Культурно-історичний контекст подолання травматичного минулого (на прикладі новітнього німецькомовного роману поколінь)

This article deals with the process of “reinterpretation of the past” in the modern German literature, social and political discourse. The research demonstrates, that the German people actively work with their own past and form new national attitudes and values. The generation, who replaced the eyewitnesses and participants of the terrible crimes of the last century (the World War ІІ, the Holocaust, National Socialism), does not distance themselves from these events, but, on the contrary, accept the whole truth. The results of the research show that after the fall of the Berlin Wall in the 90s of the 20th century, a lot of novels were published, which directly and without illusions demonstrate this most terrible page in the history of Germany. In such novels, on the example of their own family stories, the authors raise important questions about the collective guilt and responsibility of the German people for crimes against human life. The authors describe the lives of three generations of one family and demonstrate how the worldview and thoughts of people are changing over time and how this affects the process of overcoming a historical traumatic experience for German nation. This was especially shown in the works “Pawel’s letter” written by M. Maron and “Heavenly bodies” by T. Dückers, “In my brother’s shadow” by U. Timm. The similar situation we observe in the Ukrainian literature during the last twenty years. A number of authors raise important historical topics, including reinterpretation of the history and the past in their family sagas. A special attention is paid to S. Andruhovych’s novel “Amadoka”. The results of the research accentuate its key features, which emphasize the relevance of such literature. In this article the culture-historical and comparative methods are used, a lot of attention is paid to the biographical analyze.

Russian classical literature of the 19th century and Kumyks: Images and prototypes

In the literature on the issue, the ethnikon Dagestan is traditionally used, which is interpreted as an ethnonym identified with the highlanders of Dagestan. However, the languages of the latter were called Dagestanian only beginning with the second half of the twentieth century. This calls into question the historical subjectivity of the Kumyks who were traditionally called “Dagestan Tatars” as far back as in the 19th century. That is what they are called, along with the Dagestan highlanders-Lezgins, in the “Notes from the House of the Dead” by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Kumyks, under the name of “Tatars”, are also mentioned later - in Leo Tolstoy’s story “The Prisoner of the Caucasus”. A very significant fact is not only the images of the Kumyks in Russian fiction of the time under consideration, but also their historical prototypes’ fame, established by K. Aliyev. These works of fiction include A. Pushkin’s sketches and the plan of the “Romance on the Caucasian Waters” (1831), published in 1881, whose plot was connected with Shah-Vali, the son of Shamkhal of Tarkovsky Mehdi II. Crimea-shamkhal Ummalat-bek Buynaksky, an associate of the first Imam Gazi-Muhammad, was the prototype of the protagonist in A. BestuzhevMarlinsky’s story “Ammalat-Bek”. Bela is also considered to be a Kumychka who, together with her brother Azamat, belongs to the central images of M. Lermontov’s story of the same name. K. Aliyev found the Kumyk prototypes of some participants in the battle, to which M. Lermontov dedicated his poem “Valerik” (1842). We also draw attention to the Kumyk prototype of Colonel Khasanov, one of the characters in Leo Tolstoy’s story “The Raid. A Volunteer’s Story”.

"HISTORICISM" OF THE NEW EUROPEAN DRAMA (LESYA UKRAINKA – B. BRECHT – Y. KOSACH)

The article deals with the development of the historical theme in drama, the stage of the new drama traced on the examples of Lesya Ukrainka’s plays "Boyarynya", 1910, B. Brecht’s "Mother Courage and her children", 1939, Y. Kosach’s "Action about Yuriy the Victorious", 1947. The first collection of these different texts under one slogan ensures the scientific novelty of research. The purpose of the research: to trace the development of the historical theme in the modernist drama of the 20th venture and outline the problematic aspects of the concept of historicism of the new drama.
 The analysis of three dramas allows us to make a conclusion about the historicism of different aesthetics systems, romantic, realistic and modernist. A romantic story is, in fact, the metanarrative of national history, which is written with the aim of producing a national one identity, elevation of national culture. Realism focuses on displaying modernity, indifferent to historical topics, but gives authors of historical topics a lot of image means necessary for the effect of authenticity. Modernism in the displaying of historical events is miscellaneous. It is important to highlight the symbolist, expressionist and surrealist methods of mediating historical material. Most of Lesya Ukrainka’s dramas are historical or mythological subjects belonging to the genre of symbolist drama, in which the price of the choice is realized between private and public, which every person makes in any era. B. Brecht’s Epic / expressionist theater is a unique story that goes on and on. The playwright forces the viewer to look at the story consciously and critically, not emotionally, to see it through the eyes of a playwright who has already gone through his path of self-awareness. Surreal the picture of history is painted by Yuriy Kosach: his historical event is also distanced, but looks like a labyrinth in which a person wanders and blindly chooses between good and evil. It is always a story appropriated by the author.

Three Generations of Belarusian Historical Fiction in Prose and Verse: Inspiration and Iconoclasm

Beginning with attempts to deny or repress the very idea of Belarusian history, this article is devoted the use of historical themes by three generations of Belarusian writers, with the youngest first and ending with three from the middle generation who, as a rule, do not show the influence of their elders on themselves, nor do they seem greatly to influence the younger writers. All ages, however, are engaged in the same struggle to counter the anti-historical ideas propagated by the leadership of their country, and the younger writers bring a sometimes unusual, indeed iconoclastic, approach to this important task.

Historyczne geoskrzynki miasta Lublina. Tropami upraktyczniania nauki historii

Geocaching is a type of outdoor game that involves finding hidden caches (geocaches) using satellite navigation and a mobile application. The Historic Geocaches of the City of Lublin project aims to create thematic (historical) geocaches in the urban space, which would introduce their explorers to the history of the city. Moreover, it is part of an unusual tourist product with an emphasis on historical themes, where, among other things, discovering diverse cultures, and learning about forgotten or little-known spaces of the city constitutes a kind of „educational intellectual play”, and thus leads to learning how to construct one's own historical trails of the city. It is through such a solution that it will be possible to learn about regional history in the form of a game, which may be especially attractive to a generation of young audiences.

Artistic Reality in the Dramas of Sultan Raev

The article analyzes the plays of a major representative of Kyrgyz literature, playwright, public figure Sultan Raev from the point of view of artistic reality. In origin, each piece of art is an entire structure with a fully completed head and legs. There should also be a succession network. Considering that the largest type of epic genre is drama, which is in historical and evolutionary development, the most prone to transformation and modification in accordance with the requirements of time, time, epoch, the drama of the countries of Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan with new authors, new themes is filled and promotes common values not only of the Turkic people, but also of a human being, thereby the author raises topical issues. Sultan Rayev’s drama “The Long Way to Mecca” touched upon such complex issues as human purification, self-knowledge, finding your way in life, responding to what you have done, liberation from sin, and the magical connection between man and God. In the dramas “Tears of the Queen” and “The Crown», where the symbols of the absurd and the genre prevail, the historical theme is touched upon. Three dramatic works by the author were taken as research materials: “Tears of the Queen”, “The Crown” and “The Long Way to Mecca”. Hermeneutical, comparative typological, and semiotic methods were used in the analysis of these works. In the course of the study, we identified similarities and differences in comparing the author's plays, and also identified the semiotic aspect of the drama based on the analysis of characteristic features: takara, sand, black stone, crown, tumar.

From the West to the East: The Spread and Alienation of Fancy‐dress Skating in Modern China

AbstractFancy‐dress skating was originally a comprehensive cultural activity integrating entertainment, social contact, and sports, introduced to China from the West in modern times. Since its introduction in China, it has spread widely throughout Beijing, and has undergone considerable variations. Taking Beijing as an example, this study systematically analyses and explains the development and variation of fancy‐dress skating in China which was introduced by the West from the perspectives of public social opinion and organizational participants. Its dissemination and variations are typical examples of cross‐cultural communication of the Western culture in the context of modern Chinese mass communication. It is also the epitome of the diversified interactions between entertainment and society. In modern Chinese history, fancy‐dress skating gradually resonated with historical themes and finally took a new cultural form similar to, but different from what was originally based on the Western contexts.

From Muslim Chronicles to National Historiographies? (The Conceptual Introduction)

The formation of national Muslim historiographies is still understudied in the context of inter-imperial transfers of knowledge in the era of the creation of national republics on the ruins of colonial empires. Meanwhile, its investigation sheds light on a number of key historical subjects of nation-building in nationalizing empires, hybriditization of Muslim historiography, subjectivity of Islamic historical knowledge. Based on the materials of historical works composed by the Muslim scholars of the Russian and Ottoman-Turkish nationalities such as ‘Ali Kayaev (al-Ghumuqi, 1878–1943), Jamal al-Din of Karabudakhkent (al-Gharabudaghi, 1858–1947), Murad Ramzi (1854–1934) and Yusuf Akçura (1876–1935), the authors of the article attempted to trace modern historical narratives of the former Muslim borderlands in the Russian and Ottoman empires, to establish their similarities and differences, contribution of Muslim reformers, who were close to the majority of these four historians, in the formation of national historiographies of the Caucasus, the Volga region and the former Ottoman Empire, including the popularization of national history in Muslim periodicals.
