Istoriografia rusă si istoria postbelică a Europei de Est– o abordare actuală
Russian Historiography and Eastern Europe’s Postwar History – A New Approach

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the evolution of Russian historiography after 1990, focusing on two subjects that were approached differently and made the object of many studies: the Cold War and Stalinism. The article insists on the perpetuation at present of certain characteristics Russian historiography had displayed in the early ‘90s: a fragmented character of the sources – related in many respects to the declassification of archive collections being slowed down, to the prevalence of empirical studies and a low interest in generalizations, theoretical ones included. The author also approaches the fact that a certain disproportion of the chronological dimension has not been overcome yet, which is visible in the much more intense scrutiny of the 1960s and particularly the 1970s and 1980s.
