Don Quixote of Hungarian Sovietology
Istvan Dolmanyos was the first Hungarian historian to write a history of the Soviet Union. His career took him on a trajectory that led from Stalinism through approval of Khrushchev’s de-Stalinization and then back to Stalinism. The article shows how a reformist monograph on the history of the USSR in the context of Brezhnev’s re-Stalinization provoked a reaction in the political world at an international level. It received serious criticism from…
A Hungarian National Socialist in the Role of a “Russian Scholar”
The first history of twentieth-century Russia written by a Hungarian author was published in the middle of the Second World War, in 1943. It was written by Kálmán Rátz, a retired major whose knowledge of the subject and balanced approach were praised in the press reviews of the time. This article traces the story of this former soldier and, drawing on both published and unpublished sources, sets out, for the first time in academic history writing…
“Russian History Should Be Written by Russians, Why Are Hungarians Interfering?”
This article is based on the discussion (mock defense) of Key Issues of Russia’s Annexation of Siberia in the Late 16th – 17th Centuries in Russian and Soviet Historiography (The Development of the Concept of the Trans-Urals’ Entry into the Muscovy State), the PhD thesis by Sándor Szili, a young Hungarian historian (supervised by R. G. Skrynnikov). The discussion took place at the department of Russian history at St Petersburg State University in…
Efforts towards Establishing a New State-conceptualized History in Russia
It would be too early to try and summarize the way in which the issue of Russia’s “state historical and remembrance policy” has evolved or foresee its possible outcomes, as the standard uniform set of schoolbooks has not yet been approved. The media-voting competitions presented in this essay, however, clearly demonstrate the national social climate and its trends, which would have to be moulded into some form of an “all-Russian socium ” by such …

The Budapest school of Russian studies
The article describes the history of the Budapest School of Russian Studies and analyzes its present-day state. The author outlines the main directions of research carried out by the leading Hungarian scholars of Russia in different spheres of the humanities (György Ránki, Emil Niederhauser, Miklós Kun, Márta Font, Tamás Krausz, etc.) and examines the connections Hungarian scholars have with Soviet and post-Soviet academic schools, as well as spe…
R. G. Skrynnikov
It is time to study the man himself and not just his work. This brief study would like to sketch out this problem. To understand Ruslan Skrynnikov and his work, we must have a clear picture of Soviet history writing. It is a peculiar feature of his life and career that he had to struggle for acceptance and recognition even within his own restricted world. Skrynnikov’s works of the 1960s were still framed by the determinative Engelsian conception …
