Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Contents Preface. Introduction inherited traditions of historical scholarship. 1. The histories of history in the Soviet Union. 2. The impact of Glasnost on the writing of history. 3. Histories of the communist party as histories of the Soviet Union. 4. Depictions and revisions the Russian Revolution in history. 5. The historical archive. 6. History in Russian schools. A select bibliography. Index. The history of the Soviet Union has been charted in several studies over the decades. These depictions while combining accuracy elegance readability and imaginativeness have failed to draw attention to the political and academic environment within which these histories were composed. Writing History in the Soviet Union Making the Past Work is aimed at understanding this environment. The book seeks to identify the significant hallmarks of the production of Soviet history by Soviet as well as western historians. It traces how the Russian Revolution of 1917 triggered a shift in official policy towards historians and the publication of history textbooks for schools. In 1985 the Soviet past was again summoned for polemical revision as part and parcel of an attitude of openness (Glasnost) and in this literary figures joined their energies to those of historians. The communist regime sought to equate the history of the country with that of the Communist Party itself in 1938 and 1962 and this imposed a blanket of conformity on history writing in the Soviet Union. The book also surveys the rich abundance of writing the Russian Revolution generated as well as the divergent approaches to the history of the period. The conditions for research in Soviet achieves are described as an aspect of official monitoring of history writing. Another instance of this is the manner by which history textbooks have through the years been withdrawn from schools and others officially nursed into circulation. This intervention occasioned in the present circumstance by statements by President Put in himself in the manner in which history is taught in Russian Schools continues to this day. In other words over the years the regime has always worked to make the past work. 322 pp.…
