„Jocul de-a naţionalismul” Raportul istoricului Aleksei Şeviakov despre noul curs din istoriografia şi politica românească a anilor 1960
"The Game of Nationalism". The Report of Historian Aleksei Sheviakov on the New Direction in Romanian Historiography and Politics in the 1960s

Summary/Abstract: Between December 1968 and February 1969, the Soviet historian Aleksei A. Sheviakov conducted a research visit to Romania. After returning to Moscow, he wrote a critical report on the new nationalist trends that had emerged since the early 1960s in Romanian historiography, as well as in the broader political context of the regime in Bucharest. Among the most "dangerous" aspects, he noted the return to the "bourgeois" positions of the interwar period, which supported the unity of the Romanian state achieved in 1918 and rejected the Cominternist theses that viewed Romania as an imperialist state that had forcefully occupied the territories of other countries, including Bessarabia, which was considered "Soviet." The report also has the significant merit of detailing the "healthy forces" in Romania that opposed the nationalist course, instead supporting the internationalist positions of Moscow and the other countries in the Soviet bloc.
