| Summary: | Article is devoted to the domestic historiography of the First World War. For a long time it was considered the «forgotten war» in Russian history. However, over the last century in Russia published thousands of papers on the problem. The authors analyzed the major trends and stages in the study of the First World War in the Soviet and modern Russian historiography. Directly in the war years and in the first decades after the war the study of the events of 1914–1918 was largely dictated by practical problems. After Great Patriotic War applied orientation disappeared. This reflected the changes in the forms and practices of studying the problem. At the same time the influence of politics and ideology in the Soviet historiography of World War survived. In modern Russia studying the events of the First World War is becoming more varied. The appearance of new approaches greatly expands problems and research possibilities. |
