Rubin V.A. Reflection of the problems of preservation of the Russian military-historical heritage within the Southern Ural regional historiography of Soviet and post-Soviet time

Abstract: The object of this research is the Russian military-memorial heritage, while the subjects is the historiography of the history of emergence, construction, and preservation of the military-historical objects during Soviet and post-Soviet time in the regions of Southern Ural. This article is first to attempt to generalize the Southern Ural historiography of the problem of preservation of the Russian military-historical heritage during the Soviet and post-Soviet time. Comparing the determined scientific and other types of works of the two periods that differ in methodological approaches and topic of the study, the author makes a conclusion on the absence of the in-depth complex research of historical-culturological character on the regional level. The article underlines that the post-Soviet historiography of preservation of the Russian military-historical heritage differs from the Soviet by the involvement of the professional historians. The international obligations resulted in declassification of multiple archive documents, which allowed ascertaining the amount of military cemeteries and burial grounds. Methodology of the further research regarding the military-memorial environment carries an interdisciplinary character and should be based on development of the “systems” necessary for the scientific analysis.
