There was no such interpretation of Russian history in the textbooks of the tsarist and Stalin"s time, there is no now. The outstanding Russian scientist Mikhail Nikolaevich Pokrovsky did a huge job to show how the history of Russia actually developed, and attracted a tremendous volume of actual material for this. From the anti -nationalist and antimonarchic positions, Pokrovsky criticizes official theories that depicted the "Special Way of the Development of Russia, idealized Russian kings and emperors, land collectors" and "great reformers".
The description of the traditional "heroes" of Russian historiography occupies a prominent place in the work of Mikhail Pokrovsky: monarchs, commanders, state and church figures, diplomats appear in the works of a historian in a completely different light - as selfish, cruel, often limited personalities. The main thesis of the author is associated with the famous words from the Russian translation of the "International": "No one will give us deliverance: neither God, nor the king, and not a hero ...". It is no accident that the works of M.N. Pokrovsky were cult books in the post -revolutionary years, but then, as authoritarian trends in the state strengthened, they were banned. Now the reader is given the opportunity to get acquainted with the full course of Russian history M.N. Pokrovsky - from ancient times to the end of the 19th century
