Summary/Abstract: Historic reconstruction, called as well historic reproduction, has become popular since the end of 20th century. Media, educators and teachers has become interested in this phenomenon. Its propagators present it as a direct, authentic, sensual, better than from the textbook and school-like method of learning history. However, historic reconstruction is not a direct “back to the past” form but a different form of reproduction, so a kind of medium, and as such it has different than textbooks deformations, it is not free from them. Its popularity is connected with the hope of crossing the reproduction because the need of direct learning is a natural human need.
