metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article focuses on is the letters written by the famous Soviet historiographer, theorist of
  historical science, historian-medievalist O. Wainshtein (1894–1980) to a Soviet historian, specialist
  in social, economic history of the 16th–19th centuries S. Borovoi (1903–1989). The letters
  published in the article cover the period between 1944–1976, which was characterized
  by the scholar’s activities, authority, leading positions in the academic corporation, the emergence
  of their major works. These messages reflect the close environment of the historian and
  the conditions of everyday life of the Soviet intellectual community. The presented materials
  follow the main milestones of Wainshtein’s professional activity; circumstances of his promotion;
  the conditions of his “exile” during the Soviet political campaign “against cosmopolitanism”;
  news and comments about colleagues. The letters enable to recreate essential details of
  the development of Soviet historical science, the university system of education, fragments of
  biographies of a number of scholars. The published material reproduces the debatable issues
  of historians about certain problems in the Soviet historiography, research in the field of medieval
  studies, critical remarks, O. Wainstein’s disagreement with colleagues, in particular, with
  S. Lurie, V. Mavrodin, B. Porshnev, E. Tarle, A. Chistovzonov and others. O. Wainstein’s letters
  shed light on the context of the preparation and publication of his monographs “Russia and
  the Thirty Years’ War of 1618–1648” (1947), “Western European Medieval Historiography”
  (1964), “The History of Soviet Medieval Studies: 1917–1966” (1968), and other works. The
  publication of letters is accompanied by fairly extensive commentary on their content, and
  introduces a valuable historical source.
