Do We Need Separate Histories of Slavic Countries Today?
Do We Need Separate Histories of Slavic Countries Today?

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the problem of correlation between the national histories of separate Slavic countries and the general history of the Slavic world as a whole. The author reviews the evolution of discourses in common Slavic history and concludes that, today, all historians have abandoned all paradigms of a common approach to the history of the Slavs. It also considers the current state of scientific journals and research institutes. The author of the article substantiates the idea that national histories solve cultural and ideological problems, but their possibilities for solving scientific problems are limited due to their tendency to, and dependence on, political discourse. It is necessary to find new methodological approaches and a new look at the history of the Slavic world.
