From Antiquity to the Middle Ages along the Peripheral Paths of Soviet Marxism
In the first part of the article, the author briefly examines the role of transitional eras in Marxist theory and in more detail in Soviet historical scholarship. The author believes that for a number of reasons (related primarily to theoretical principles), transitional eras turned out to be those periods that could receive consistent coverage in Soviet scholarship only if this was done at the level of a general overview with a minimum allowance…
The Slave Revolution
The article examines the path of studying the concept of “slave revolution”, introduced into Soviet historical scholarship as a result of Stalin's statement, then rejected by it, and then repeatedly interpreted in Soviet and post-Soviet historiography. In order to obtain a consistent analysis of this study, author gives at first a brief description of how the “slave revolution”, having suddenly acquired the status of a recognized term in historio…
At the edge of Oikoumene
The paper analyses the origin of ideas and historical material in the early historical stories authored by Ivan Efremov, the prominent Soviet writer. Also, the influence of the historical dilogy “The Great Arc” on the perception of ancient history in Soviet culture is traced. In general terms, this dilogy can be attributed to historical novels while also considering the specifics of the Stalinist historical novel. Three types of sources have been…
Narrative Strategies of Soviet Historians of Antiquity at the Beginning of the Second Discussion about the Asiatic Mode of Production
At the beginning of the article, the author defines the significance of the discussions about the Asian mode of production for the Soviet historiography of antiquity, and also talks about the special characteristics of the second discussion, the main phase of which dates back to the second half of the 1960s. If the first discussion established the rules for understanding the historical process among Soviet historians, then during the second one s…
The History of Ideology
The author of the article focuses on the analysis of an unpublished chapter for a collective work on the history of philosophy, written by Yu.P. Frantzev (1903–1969) in 1951 and dedicated to the formation of ancient Eastern ideologies. The author of this unpublished text began his scholar career as an Egyptologist and researcher of early religions; he was a student of the Orientalist V.V. Struve, whose works played an important role in the genesi…
Disappointment in Slavery
The article is devoted to the changes in late Soviet Egyptology, which characterize new features in its development, manifested in the post-war period and developed to the maximum in the 1970s – 1980s. The author believes that the Soviet Egyptological school, which raised itself to the legacy of the school of B.A. Turaev, in fact it was created anew by V.V. Struve, while a feature of its development was the fact that both a formal leader (V.V. St…
Historian of the Orient in an Era of Change
he was then attributed to the “old” scholars who switched to Marxism. In the mid-1930s the leadership of the USSR strongly pressed on historical scholarship, demanding total transition to the tracks of exclusively Marxist understanding of historical processes. Oriental studies, and personally V.V. Struve, were to ensure the ideological purity of the new texts such as ancient history textbooks for schools and universities. In July 1936 the Departm…
Unification of Narrative and Freedom of Scholarship in the Post-War Soviet Historiography of Antiquity
The first part of the article is primarily theoretical. Author states that after-war stage in history of Soviet historiography was time of normalization of the Soviet historical narrative. Additionally the author gives main markers to measure the degree of freedom in scholar’s texts (risky new ideas, comfort of expressions, quality of discussion). The next part is devoted to analysis of the image of ideal Soviet textbook in Ancient history in the…
A Textbook and Its Author
In this paper, the author analyses Professor N. M. Nikolsky’s 1933 school textbook on ancient history. Nikolsky introduced a number of interesting innovations in his work uncharacteristic of scholarship of the time. He was able to combine the pre-revolutionary school tradition and elements of Marxism. Equally, the textbook matched the level of historical scholarship of the first third of the twentieth century. Nikolsky’s innovations were almost c…
Assyriology and Stalinism
This article analyzes the main reasons why Soviet historiography developed a theory that the ancient Near East was characterized by an economy based on slavery. It explores the interplay of external and internal factors leading to the special role of Assyriology in that process, particularly through the work of the Russian and Soviet orientalist Vasiliy Struve
