metadata.value: The article aims to define the content and the peculiarities of the position held by E. V. Tarle during the
  active discussions on the “French question” in the so-called ‘Litvinov commission’ of the Soviet Foreign Office.
  On the basis of the new evidence from the Archives of the Foreign policy of the Russian Federation, the author compares two Tarle’s roles: the one of the historian interested in the French studies for a long period and that of
  the foreign policy advisor whom he became exactly during the Great Patriotic war. The author concludes that the
  notions made by Tarle as a historian and as a foreign policy advisor were often not similar. Being a proponent of
  the affinity between the Russian and French interests on the pages of his historical studies, in 1943–1944, under
  the influence of critical stance of the Soviet leadership and diplomacy on the “French question” Tarle adopted a
  tougher position. He was skeptical about the revival of France as a Great Power and prioritized the relations with
  Washington and London over those with Paris. Being a part of the academic elite of the Stalin’s USSR and having
  the experience of the exile, he was ready to fit into the dominant consensus defined from above and acknowledged
  the limitation for his freedom of maneuver as an expert and adviser. At the same time, Tarle continued pursuing
  high academic standards, carefully hinted on the volatility of the international situation, and was respected
  by his French colleagues.
