An Outline of Modern Russian Historiography is a comprehensive survey of the development of historical scholarship in Russia from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. Written by Anatole Gregory Mazour, a prominent historian and professor of Russian history, the book provides a detailed analysis of the major trends, themes, and debates that have shaped Russian historiography over the past century. The book begins with an overview of the early stages of Russian historical scholarship, including the rise of the Slavophiles and Westernizers in the 19th century and the emergence of Marxist historiography in the early 20th century. Mazour then explores the impact of the Russian Revolution and the Soviet era on historical scholarship, including the development of Marxist-Leninist historiography and the suppression of alternative perspectives. Throughout the book, Mazour pays close attention to the key figures and schools of thought that have shaped Russian historiography, including Nikolai Karamzin, Vasily Klyuchevsky, and Lev Gumilev.
