Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the conditions and basic directions of the development of Macedonian historiography in the period of transition. Starting from conditions of an utterly polarised political stage, the author explains the division to "old" and "young" among the Macedonian historiographers in respect of the critical reassessments of the achievements of Macedonian historiography before 1991. By pointing out the attempts at the political abuse of history in the framework of the Macedonian pluralist stage, the author identifies the most important achievements of Macedonian historiography in the period between 1991 and 2003, in the thematic as well as methodological aspect.
