From the history of the «nomenclature» historiography of Russian philosophy
Annotation
The article is a commentary on the publication in the USSR in the 50s of the last century of classical works on the history of Russian philosophy, belonging to two philosophers of the Russian diaspora — N. O. Lossky and V. V. Zenkovsky. Russian Russian historians consider the appearance of their works as one of the episodes of the slow departure of Soviet historians of Russian philosophy from the pattern of its consideration imposed in the 40–50s of the twentieth century by their colleagues to the Soviet society by a number of historians of Russian philosophy who held various posts in the party and scientific and educational structures of the USSR. The concept of «nomenclature historiography» of Russian philosophy is constructed and its representatives are named. The article points to the ideological task assumed by the publication of these books, the proof of which is the special way of using these publications in the literature departments of the special storage of public libraries. The content of the nomenclature template is considered when covering the history of Russian philosophy, when the latter appears as the formation of materialism, which resulted in the victorious perception of Marxism in Russia and the emergence of Leninism as the highest stage of the development of world culture. Russian «nomenclature» criticism of the books of N. O. Lossky and V. V. Zenkovsky and their responses to such criticism is analyzed. The appendix to this article is the publication of prefaces to the editions of the «History of Russian Philosophy» by N. O. Lossky (1954) and V. V. Zenkovsky (1956).
