Attributive Features of the Reception of Chineseized Marxism in the Philosophy and Socio-Political Thought of the Soviet-Era

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of the study of Chineseized Marxism in the philosophy and socio-political thought of the Soviet-era. The authors conducted historiographical studies of modern sources and analyzed the literature of the Soviet period. That made it possible to trace the formation of Ukrainian Chinese studies in the early 20-30s of the twentieth century, as well as to conduct a general review of attributive features of the reception of Chineseized Marxism conducted by Soviet scholars in the 60-80s of the twentieth was focused on the study of the socio-economic and ideological and political development of China. The research of Ukrainian-Chinese scholars is analyzed. Although they adapted to the general political and ideological tasks of Soviet society, they did not stop researching the history of ancient China, various aspects of economic development of this country, and studied different periods of Chinese philosophy, history, culture, and art. It is shown that under the ideological censorship of the totalitarian Soviet regime, in the publications of the Soviet period, scholars were forced to highlight the anti-Marxist and anti-socialist nature of Maoism, calling it petty-bourgeois and social-chauvinist teachings. Some Soviet sinologists considered it necessary to develop a special methodology for studying traditional Chinese philosophy, which would provide specific guidelines. It is concluded that this study provides an opportunity to expand knowledge about the method of reception of Chineseized Marxism, as well as help to enrich the philosophical and political science with comprehensive systemic knowledge.
