RUSSIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY OF AUSTRALIAN 1PARTICIPATION IN THE WORLD WAR I

Analysis of the Russian historiography of Australian participation in the World War
I in general reflects all specifics and traits which are typical for historical science in the
USSR and in the post-soviet Russia. These, above all, are the ideological blindness and
focus on social and class aspects of the events in publications between 30 and 50s. In
works of 70-80s ideological and thematic limitations were gradually overcome. Postsoviet
period is known for more versatile and objective studies of the subject.
