metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: American Sovietology was formed in the years of the “Cold War” as science, which methodologically
  aimed at showing the totalitarian character of power structures in the Soviet Union. The image of the enemy in
  politics was accompanied by an equally negative image of scientific research, first carried out by political analysts
  and then by historians. Several decades have passed, but much of what was practiced in the 1950s and 1960s
  remains important and relevant at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The astute manipulation of facts and
  events is still going on. In this regard, writings by the professor of history of Yale University Timothy Snyder can
  provide a good example. Snyder is the author of two famous books translated into Russian: “The Reconstruction
  of Nations” (2003) and “Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin” (2010). His third work, “The Road to Unfreedom:
  Russia, Europe, America,” dedicated to contemporary history from 2010, was published in 2018 by Yale
  University Press. While the issues and historical periods are outwardly different, all three books reveal one central
  idea: Russia’s history is the history of Russian fascism. Over the years, only the manifestation of fascism has
  changed, while its basic characteristics have remained unchanged: an expansionistic foreign policy in Europe,
  and currently in America as well, and on former Soviet territories. This inevitably transfers Snyder’s works from the
  properly historical sphere to the field of the historical politics and political studies.
