波克罗夫斯基与中国史学

Pokrovsky and Chinese Historiography

波克罗夫斯基是苏联史学的奠基人,也是最早运用唯物史观的立场方法对俄国历史进行重新整理和诠释的历史学家。对于建立以马克思主义为指导的无产阶级史学、培养苏维埃第一代史学家以及建立无产阶级史学队伍作出了贡献。十月革命后,波克罗夫斯基的史学著作被大量译介到中国,其所倡导的唯物史观也同时在中国传播。波克罗夫斯基提出的"商业资本主义"和"专制主义"理论成为中国社会史论战中的重要概念,对中国史学具有一定的影响。

Pokrovsky was the founder of Soviet history and the historian who was the first to use the stand and method of historical materialism to re-comb and interpret Russia history. He made major contributions to establishing proletarian historiography guided by Marxism, training the first generation of Soviet historians and organizing the proletarian historiography team. After the October Revolution, his historiography works were translated and introduced into China and his historical materialism was also spread in China. The commercial capitalism and despotism he proposed became important concepts in the course of the controversy of Chinese history and had a certain influence upon Chinese historiography.
