Methodological Aspects of Soviet Studies

In contemporary Russia there is an ongoing discussion about the nature of the Soviet era and its historical significance in a framework of a national identity search. Making sense of the Soviet past is challenging. It should be based primarily on objective knowledge obtained as a result of research, as truly scholar activities of Russian and foreign scholars of the social and humanitarian profile. This article examines various methodological aspects of Soviet studies. The central place in Soviet studies is given to the systems theory. Description, analysis, modeling, as well as such general historical methods of scientific research as historical-genetic, historical-comparative, historical-typological and historical-systemic methods are also very important for Soviet. The article pays special attention to the methodological problem of the relationship between the past and the present, the problems of socialization of historical memory in post-Soviet Russia.
