Korine Amacher: Mikhail N. Pokrovsky and Ukraine: A Normative Marxist between History and Politics, Ab Imperio 1/2018, pp. 101-132
ACCESS
SUMMARY:
The article discusses the conflict between a leading Marxist historian and social scientist of the 1920s, Mikhail N. Pokrovsky, and Ukrainian Marxist historians at the First All-Union Conference of Marxist Historians in December 1928–January 1929. Renowned for his staunch criticism of Russian nationalism and imperialism and support of oppressed nationalities, Pokrovsky was dismayed when accused of Great Russian chauvinism by Ukrainian colleagues. The article reconstructs the ambivalent worldview of Pokrovsky, who was torn between scholarship and politics, but also between anti-imperialism and a profoundly Russocentric approach to history.
Резюме:
В статье рассматривается и объясняется конфликт между ведущим советским марксистским историком и обществоведом 1920-х гг. М. Н. По-кровским и украинскими историками-марксистами, произошедший на Первой Всесоюзной конференции историков-марксистов зимой 1928–1929 гг. Известный своей непримиримой критикой русского на-ционализма и российского империализма и поддержкой угнетенных народов, Покровский был поражен обвинениями в великорусском шовинизме со стороны украинских коллег. Статья реконструирует противоречивое мировоззрение Покровского, разрывавшегося между наукой и политикой, а также между антиимпериализмом и глубоко русскоцентричным взглядом на историю.
